Alice Nock – Motion in Mind

Motion in Mind is the coaching practice of Alice Nock, a UK coach who works with neurodivergent adults — ADHD, autistic, dyslexic and dyspraxic people, people with OCD and others — whether that identity comes from a formal diagnosis or from their own recognition. The core offer is one-to-one coaching, particularly for people whose lives look manageable from the outside but feel unworkable from the inside, with sessions also open to couples and small groups. Alongside it sit a webinar series on ADHD and training for employers. The first step is a free 30-minute chemistry call, a low-stakes way to test the fit before committing.

Alice came to coaching through her own late diagnosis. She was identified as ADHD in June 2022, aged 43, after twenty years as a primary school teacher specialising in special educational needs, a law degree, and years running three property companies and an autism training business. She holds an LLB (Hons) and Qualified Teacher Status, is a member of the International Coaching Federation, and spent two years in ADHD-specific coaching and training before setting up the practice. Her coaching centres on helping a client understand how their own mind works, find focus and recognise which traits become assets when the conditions around them fit — not on training them to pass as neurotypical. Work can cover life at home or strategy at work.

The wider offer reaches the people around a neurodivergent adult. The ADHD Series webinars, run online through Microsoft Teams, cover topics such as working with ADHD, recognising ADHD in adulthood and meltdowns in children, and are pitched at people exploring a diagnosis, the recently diagnosed and their partners; some sessions are free. For businesses, Alice delivers training on neurodiversity fundamentals, spotting when a colleague is struggling, reasonable adjustments and shaping workplaces that suit neurodivergent staff. Prices and session formats are not published, so the chemistry call is also the place to ask about cost and whether coaching runs online or in person.
