You’re always running on empty, always over-explaining, and always feeling guilty for just existing. Imagine instead having more of your time, energy and capacity back to focus on what matters most. We’ve created something to help you – a self-paced online course made by neurodivergent therapists, for neurodivergent brains.

Sound like you?

  • You say yes & immediately regret it, then spend days feeling secretly resentful
  • You ask yourself ‘why do I care so much what people think?’
  • You over-explain everything, just saying no is far too risky
  • You feel dread when you see a message asking a favour
  • You replay conversations at 3am, convinced you’ve upset someone
  • Social interactions drain you completely, even good ones
  • You feel guilty for having needs, even basic ones
  • You’ve been ‘getting on with it’ for so long you don’t even know what your limits are
  • You feel ‘annoying’ or ‘difficult’ for just existing

Every single ‘yes’ costs you more than you realise.


Because the same thing happens every single day…

  • Your energy keeps going to everyone except you.
  • The resentment builds quietly.
  • Guilt keeps you stuck.

that’s not your fault.

This isn’t a ‘you’ problem.

You’re not lazy & you’re not dramatic…

Neurodivergent people are conditioned from early on to mask, to adapt, to make everyone else comfortable at the expense of their own needs. That’s the entirely logical result of a brain that learned it had to perform to be accepted.

Understanding that is huge. And having the right tools changes the rest.


Picture how things might look in 6 months…

Saying no without the guilt spiral after.

The conversation happens & feels uncomfortable. And then it’s over, not consuming you for the rest of the week.


internal confidence that doesn’t come across as arrogant

Sending a message without rewriting it seventeen times. Saying what you actually think without over-thinking every word. Trusting that your needs are worth naming.


Knowing your body well enough to trust what it tells you.

Noticing you’re overwhelmed before you hit shutdown. Knowing what drains you and what fills you up, and believing it. Stopping the second-guessing and self-gaslighting.


Leaving social situations without needing two days alone to recover.

You protect your energy and still connect with the people who matter. You don’t stop caring about people, but you perform a lot less.


More capacity for the things that actually matter to you.

Less of the exhaustion that comes from spending your whole day managing everyone else’s comfort. More in reserve for the things and people you actually want to show up for.

The standard advice for burnout is to rest.


But for neurodivergent people who have spent years saying yes to everyone else’s agenda, rest without autonomy over your own choices doesn’t actually restore anything. Real recovery needs you to be able to protect your energy in the first place. That’s what boundaries actually do.

What Will you get from a neurodivergent boundaries course?

Finally Understanding Why This Is So Hard For You

Stop blaming yourself. Discover why boundaries feel terrifying when you’re neurodivergent – from how you were raised to say yes, to rejection sensitivity that makes every ‘no’ feel like the end of the world, to sensory overload you’ve been pushing through for years. Includes guided exercises to understand YOUR specific patterns.

The ability to say no without spiralling

Actual scripts you can use word-for-word at work, with family and friends, to help when your brain is screaming ‘they’re gonna hate me!’.

You’ll stop relying on over-explaining, saying yes then resenting it, lying awake at 3am wondering if you’ve ruined everything. Learn a simple neurodivergent friendly framework that feels less scary than just ‘be more assertive.’

Catching yourself before you burn out

Learn to recognise when you’re ignoring your own needs BEFORE you hit complete shutdown. Spot the early signs – the resentment building, the guilt creeping in, the exhaustion you’re pretending isn’t there. Includes tools to track what’s draining you so you can actually do something about it.

Boundaries that actually last

Most boundary courses tell you what to do, then leave you alone. This gives you a maintenance plan for when life gets messy, you slip back into old patterns, or someone pushes back. Regular check-ins, troubleshooting for common problems, and flexible pacing that works with your brain (not against it).

Protecting your sensory needs without feeling high maintenance

Finally have language for the lighting that makes your head hurt, the noise that scrambles your brain, the textures you can’t stand. Learn how to communicate sensory boundaries without feeling like you’re being difficult or dramatic. Create your own toolkit of strategies that actually help.Protecting Your Sensory Needs Without Feeling High-Maintenance

Bonus

Emergency scripts for when you’re put on the spot, printable handouts you can reference anytime, and reflection prompts created by therapists (us!) to keep you on track.

What’s inside: Five modules for neurodivergent brains…

FAQs

‘Is this course actually for me if I’m not officially diagnosed neurodivergent?’

Yes. This course is for anyone who relates to high-masking, people-pleasing patterns and struggles with boundaries. If you recognise yourself in the descriptions – the over-explaining, the guilt, the fear of rejection, – you’ll benefit from this boundary course regardless of diagnosis status.

‘I’ve tried setting boundaries before and it didn’t work. How is this different?’

Most boundary advice assumes you just need to ‘be more assertive’ – stand up straight, make eye contact, speak confidently. But this assumes that there’s a version of ‘normal’ everyone should strive for. With lived experience of Neurodivergence, we know this is BS – we’re not trying to make you ‘normal.’ We value the beauty of Neurodiversity instead, everyone is difficult, and advice should account for this. You don’t need to force eye contact or master small talk. You might need virtual message scripts instead of face-to-face conversations, or boundaries with yourself before you can set them with others.

We also address the real reasons boundaries feel dangerous: childhood conditioning, rejection sensitivity, nervous system responses, years of masking, and the genuine misunderstanding and judgement ND people face. Tools that work WITH your brain, not against it.

‘What format is the course? Will I need to attend live sessions?’

It’s a self-paced course with 5 modules comprising of different lessons with downloadable worksheets and resources. No live sessions & no deadlines (🥳). You can work through it at your own speed, take breaks when you need them, and revisit sections whenever you want. Perfect for Neurodivergent brains that need flexibility.

‘How long will it take to complete?’

That’s entirely up to you. Some people work through it in a weekend, others spread it over weeks. I’ve designed it with regular check-in points and energy breaks because I know executive function can be unpredictable. There’s no ‘right’ pace – you do you ✌️.

‘What if I buy it and realise I’m not ready to set boundaries yet?’

The course meets you where you are. The first modules focus on understanding why boundaries feel hard and identifying what your boundaries even are. You don’t have to jump straight into difficult conversations. Awareness is the first step, and that alone is valuable.

‘I’m worried about damaging my relationships with boundaries. Will this course help with that?’

Absolutely. One entire module is dedicated to setting boundaries in relationships whilst maintaining connection. We cover how to have these conversations compassionately, what to do if someone reacts badly, and how to recognise when a relationship isn’t safe for boundaries (which is important information to have).

‘Can I really learn how to set boundaries from an online course? Don’t I need therapy?’

This course complements therapy beautifully, but it’s not a replacement for it. Think of it as psychoeducation and practical tools you can implement yourself. Attending therapy alongside this means you have something you can reference and work through at your own pace.

How much is it?

The course is currently discounted at £60 (original price £100) for the same amount of learning you would get in at least 8 1-1 therapy sessions. We also have Klarna purchase available to pay in 3 monthly payments of just £20 if preferred.

‘What’s included for £60?’

The complete course (5 modules covering why boundaries are hard, identifying your needs, setting boundaries with yourself, and real-life boundary scripts), plus downloadable worksheets, energy audits, boundary script templates, conversation frameworks, and practical exercises throughout. Everything you need to start setting boundaries that actually stick.

‘What if I have questions whilst working through the course?’

Whilst the course is self-paced and doesn’t include one-on-one support, everything is explained clearly with examples and we’ve anticipated the common questions and concerns throughout. 

For personalised guidance, you can add email coaching support for £35 – this includes check-ins and personalised feedback on your specific situations as you work through the modules.

You can also book 1-1 sessions with me (WhatsApp £60 / Telephone £70 / Zoom £80) if you want dedicated time to work through a particular boundary challenge or practise difficult conversations.
