How We Work Together

My approach is built around you. We work at your pace to ensure you feel confident, prepared, and supported at every stage.

1. Discovery & Planning

Before looking for work, we focus on understanding what makes you thrive.

  • Identify Your Path: We work together to identify your personal knowledge, skills, abilities and aspirations exploring the future options that truly excite you.

  • Goal Setting: We make a practical plan to work towards your goals and put the support in place to overcome any challenges.

Growth often happens through exploration and connection.

  • Interview Support: I assist you in navigating the interview process, ensuring you can adequately communicate your strengths and abilities. 

4. Ongoing Success

My support doesn’t end when you get the job.

  • In-Work Support: I provide ongoing mentoring to help you settle in during induction and, navigate new environments, and manage workplace tasks, relationships and adding value to your workplace. 

Accessing Support Through Grant Funding

You should never have to carry the cost of your workplace supports alone. Under the Irish Government’s Work and Access programme, there are grants available to fund the help you need.

I can guide you through the application process for funding that covers:

  • Interview & Communication Support: Ensuring you have a level playing field from the very first meeting.

  • Professional Needs Assessments: Identifying the specific adjustments, like sensory-friendly spaces or assistive technology, managing workplace stress or that help you work best.

  • Specialised In-Work Support: Funding for the job coaching and mentoring we do together.

I handle the "departmental language" and the paperwork, so you can focus on your journey.

A Partnership Rooted in compassion and empowerment 

We operate under the Social Model of Disability: We believe that barriers can be removed and simple adjustments can be made to assist you to thrive in the workplace. Whether that is finding assistive technology, stress management techniques or working with your employer to make it work for both parties our  mission is to remove those barriers and achieve a workplace that values your unique abilities and competencies.

Your pace, your process, your potential. Let’s make the workplace work for you.
