Adeptina by Tina Squire – Empowering Neuro-Inclusive Workplaces

Tina Squire runs Adeptina, an ADHD and neurodiversity coaching practice that works on both sides of the workplace: with neurodivergent professionals who want strategies that fit how they think, and with the organisations that employ them. Her one-to-one clients are mostly professionals, leaders and business owners dealing with the day-to-day realities of ADHD at work — planning, prioritising, starting tasks, time, burnout, masking and people-pleasing — rather than people looking for diagnosis or treatment.

Squire received her own ADHD diagnosis in her forties and is parent to children whose diagnoses include autism, dyslexia, anxiety and ADHD, so the mismatch between neurodivergent people and systems not built for them is something she has lived at home as well as at work. Before coaching full-time she spent more than 20 years in senior corporate roles across operations, sales, HR, recruitment and strategy, and has served as a Non-Executive Director. She first trained as a coach in 2002, holds the ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential and the ADD Coach Academy's ACCG certification, has a qualification in Understanding Autism, and reports more than 3,000 coaching hours. Swedish-born, she coaches in English and Swedish.

Individual coaching runs as 50-minute video sessions, weekly or fortnightly, starting with a free introductory call. Fees are not published, but coaching can be self-funded, paid by an employer or funded through the UK Access to Work grant. A co-coaching option brings an employee's manager into the work. For organisations, Adeptina offers leadership and group coaching, training and workshops on neurodiversity and practical adjustments, guidance on reasonable adjustments and Access to Work conversations, and consulting on inclusive hiring, onboarding and policy. Squire also provides mentor coaching for other coaches and speaks at events.
