When behaviour makes sense, leadership becomes easier.
A practical, psychology-led programme helping you understand neurodiversity in your workplace, so you can lead with clarity, confidence, and consistency.
Most managers want to get it right.
They’re just not always sure where to start.
This programme changes that.
Led by Aimée Johnston, High Intensity Psychological Therapist, ADHD specialist, and founder of Free Mind Psychological Services and delivered through the Emmaus Safe Hub, this programme combines clinical expertise with real-world application to help you support neurodivergent employees with clarity and confidence.

RECOGNITION
You’re probably already seeing this in your teams
- Someone who is:
- Brilliant, but inconsistent
- Highly capable, but easily overwhelmed
- Engaged one moment, struggling the next
And if you’re honest…
You’re not always sure:
- What’s driving it
- What to say
- Or how to support them without getting it wrong
This isn’t a leadership failure.
It’s a lack of clarity.
REFRAME
This isn’t about managing problems. It’s about understanding people.
Neurodiversity isn’t a trend.
And it’s not something to “fix”.
It’s the natural variation in how people think, process information, regulate attention, and respond to the world around them.
When you understand that:
- Behaviour starts to make sense
- Conversations become easier
- Performance improves
- And people stay
This programme helps you make that shift.
Two workplaces. Two very different experiences.
What does real support for neurodivergent staff look like?
In this short testimony, a researcher with ADHD reflects on two very different workplaces: one where support was clear and practical, and one where masking felt necessary.
Same person. Same diagnosis. Very different outcomes.
What you’ll walk away with
This isn’t theory-heavy or abstract.
It’s designed to give you practical understanding that you can apply immediately.
By the end of the programme, you will be able to:
Explain what neurodiversity is and why it matters in your organisation
Recognise how different neurodivergent conditions present in the workplace
Understand masking and why it leads to burnout
Identify early signs of overwhelm, stress, and disengagement
Respond with confidence, without assumptions or uncertainty
Create working environments where people can perform at their best
Different ways of thinking. Different strengths. Different needs.
The programme covers key neurodivergent conditions and how they present at work:

What happens when people are understood
“Aimée took time out of her busy schedule to meet with a group of professional coaches recently, delivering a session on ADHD. The coaches left the training session with a genuinely transformative understanding of the issues that may present in coaches they meet.
Not only did we learn the origins and nuances of ADHD, but we walked away more empowered to coach individuals with far greater confidence and sensitivity. We are now better coaches thanks to her training.”

“Aimée’s insight is helping us better understand neurodiverse behaviours and how they present in elite sport. This knowledge is shaping how we approach player welfare and ensuring our support is both informed and impactful.”
Paul Mooney
Operations Director, Professional Footballers’ Association Northern Ireland
“I met Aimée Johnston while working on a film project that required a highly intense, fully improvised performance. The role involved prolonged scenes of psychological and physical distress, and the process pushed me to a place of real emotional and mental exposure.
During that time, Aimée observed patterns in my behaviour and gently raised the possibility that I might have ADHD — something I had never previously considered. Her insight was both unexpected and incredibly perceptive.
Following that conversation, I went on to seek a formal diagnosis, which confirmed that I do have ADHD. That moment has had a lasting impact on my life. It gave me a framework to better understand myself — my thought processes, my sensitivities, and the way I respond to pressure and stimulation.
Since then, with the support of appropriate medication and a deeper self-awareness, I’ve been able to manage overwhelm and anxiety in a much healthier way. It has not only improved my wellbeing, but also strengthened my ability to work creatively and sustainably within demanding environments.
I’m incredibly grateful for Aimée’s intuition, care, and professionalism. Her ability to recognise what others might miss, and to approach it with sensitivity and clarity, has made a genuinely meaningful difference in my life.”

“Aimée’s work with our members was transformational in raising awareness, changing best practice and significantly improving confidence in working with this cohort. We do not hesitate in recommending her — she is an excellent trainer with a deep knowledge of her subject.”

“Aimée delivered training to 80 UK-based teachers, equipping them with the tools and understanding needed to better support individuals with ADHD. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive — reflecting her engaging style and depth of knowledge.”

One diagnosis. A new direction.
When an ADHD diagnosis becomes a turning point.
Daniel shares how being diagnosed with ADHD at 32 helped him better understand himself, his experiences, and the way he supports others today.
His story shows that a diagnosis is not a roadblock. It can be the start of a clearer direction.
This isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s good business.
When neurodiversity is understood and supported:
- Retention improves
- Burnout reduces
- Managers lead with more confidence
- Teams perform more consistently
- Different ways of thinking drive better problem-solving
This isn’t about lowering standards.
It’s about removing the barriers that stop people from meeting them.
