Neurodiversity Celebration Week 16th - 20th March 2026
Raising the Standard in Neurodiversity-Informed Coaching
Neurodiversity Celebration Week – Day Three
The New Coaches Clinic: Because Every Coach Begins Somewhere
Today’s conversation features Gill Jordan in discussion with Esther Barrett, sharing how in this space everything is up for discussion and there is no such thing a a stupid question.
What is the New Coaches Clinic?
It does exactly what it says on the tin.
A monthly, informal drop-in space designed for newer coaches who:
- Have more questions than answers
- Aren’t sure what they don’t know yet
- Want clarity around accreditation and professional standards
- Need guidance on setup, contracting, or client dilemmas
- Are building confidence in their coaching identity
As Gill shares, new coaches often carry dozens of “small” questions, the kind that feel too minor for supervision but too important to ignore.
And if you don’t ask them?
They quietly erode confidence.
Watch the video to hear more about the space Gill is creating – and why accessibility, reassurance and professional standards sit at the heart of ANUCA.
Clinic vs Supervision – What’s the Difference?
Gill explains it beautifully:
Supervision
- Ongoing, structured relationship
- Formal commitment
- Deep reflective practice
New Coaches Clinic
- Informal and accessible
- Drop-in style
- Practical and responsive
- A safe place to ask “Am I doing this right?”
Both are vital – but they serve different stages and needs
Why This Matters for ANUCA
ANUCA isn’t just about specialist knowledge in ADHD and neurodiversity-informed coaching.
It’s about:
✔ Safe, accessible professional spaces
✔ Ethical development
✔ Clear understanding of accreditation
✔ Supervision as a standard, not an afterthought
✔ Community support at every stage
The New Coaches Clinic embodies that ethos.
If you’re a newer coach, thinking:
- “I’ve got questions…”
- “I’m not sure they’re the right questions…”
- “I don’t want to look inexperienced…”
Gill’s message is simple:
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
