Hello, I am Jonny Drury and I’m a trained and qualified Autism Coach.
What is autism coaching?
Coaching is about connecting with you to reflect and help you take the right action for you and to make the changes you need. Its core purpose is to increase self-awareness – it helps you make clear choices to close the gap between how things are now and how they could be.
Why autism coaching?
People have many reasons to come to me for coaching, for example, you might be going through a rough patch, a relationship issue, a life change, need help to clarify your goals, or simply feel you want to excel even further. Having someone to talk to, who listens without judgement can be very powerful.
Autism coaching can be done much more effectively with an autistic coach.
Coaching is true support for a while along your journey. By enabling and supporting you to explore your true uniquenesses, I will support you in achieving your life goals and living a happier life, which is totally possible!

Coaching Styles
I really only want your mental health to improve and your life to get better! I have a holistic style, focussing on a relationship of trust, care and sense-making through carefully guided dialogue between us. My approach is integrative-therapeutic (a combination of healing modalities in the areas of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness), drawing on the relational, (recognising that our interconnectedness at all levels is the key agent for change), existential, non-dual and transpersonal. I have counselling, coaching and autism training, I receive regular supervision and am fully insured.
Fees: I charge £50 a session (55mins) and also offer low income sessions at a reduced rate.
When: I work Monday to Friday and offer some evening and Saturday appointments.
Where: Zoom (video or just audio) and phone.

Testimonies
"Our early rapport contributed towards the confidence I felt in the sessions, and Jonny’s use of incisive questions helped me focus on the issues I wanted to concentrate on, and also resulted in several moments of epiphany when I realised what I truly wanted, rather than what I thought I did. ‘Purpose’ is more important to me than ‘image’." - MC
“The time I spent in coaching with you has allowed me to put aside all of the negative 'realities'“ (anon)
"I feel that Jonny listened closely to me from the outset and throughout, created an atmosphere that enabled me to make the most of our time together, and enabled me to achieve my aims. I would strongly recommend his Coaching to anyone who has an unresolved or recurrent issue that they would like to address in a positive and assistive environment." - GJ
"Having been used to counselling/therapy session where the counsellor/therapist leaves everything to the client, I was surprised – and delighted – that Jonny was willing to share his personal impression of me. This was probably the most helpful thing from the whole series of sessions and it has taken me off into a whole new area of investigation." - LG
"I just want to tell you how much I appreciate our sessions - you help me see things in a different way and accept myself, and I feel like it's exactly what I need." - anon
The original meaning of the word coach is to carry (from the Hungarian kocsi, the German kotsche and Middle French coche). The meaning for a coach as an instructor or trainer first came about in approximately 1830; it was used as slang at Oxford University for a tutor who “carries” a student through an exam.
Allow me to support you on your journey for a while. You can easily set up a time to chat about coaching via my online scheduling or email. I work in-person, via phone, video (Zoom, Skype etc.) and email.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Jonny
