From neurodiversity curiosity to more brains thriving at work.
Consulting and coaching at the intersection of organisational psychology, neurodiversity and people operations.
Most workplaces are built on an assumption that people focus, process information, regulate emotions, manage energy, and organise their work in broadly similar ways.
They don’t.
I’m interested in the relationship between people and the systems they work inside. Drawing on organisational psychology, HR leadership and lived neurodivergent experience, I help organisations build informed, sustainable approaches to cognitive diversity.
What is Qualia?
It's the right word for what we do. The same meeting, deadline, or feedback conversation can create clarity for one person and friction for another. Not because one person is struggling and one isn't, but because different minds experience work differently. When organisations understand this, something shifts. They stop managing behaviour at the surface level and start designing environments where different minds can actually perform.
Neurodiversity isn't a fringe DEI topic. It touches inclusion, wellbeing and sustainable performance.
Qualia → understanding → reduced friction → thriving people → better organisational outcomes.
This work isn’t about isolated accommodations. It's about better design.
Qualia is a term from psychology and philosophy that refers to how each of us experiences the world internally.

For Organisations
Different minds experience work differently.
I work with growing organisations who want to turn neurodiversity from a confusing buzzword into something that genuinely makes a difference.
With experience spanning both the psychological and structural sides of work, I look at how organisations function in practice — how expectations are set, how pressure moves, how culture is shaped and sustained.
Together, we create clarity and intentional design choices that allow different cognitive styles to contribute without unnecessary friction.
Different minds experience life differently.
I work with ADHD adults to decode how their minds function under real-world pressure, drawing on training, ongoing research, HR leadership experience and lived neurodivergent insight.
Coaching becomes less about life hacks and more about designing a personal operating system that holds up in demanding environments, so you can work and live with greater steadiness and joy.
For Individuals
“Laura is the perfect mix of knowledgeable, empathetic, and curious. She ran an awareness training for our People Team, and it helped me understand neurodiversity so much better. It also gave me the confidence to engage with the topic more and immediately implement small initiatives with a big impact. I highly recommend working with her. I already booked the next training with her.”

Testimonials
“Working with Laura on our Neurodiversity 101 Workshop was a real pleasure. We loved the way she invested time getting to know our business and culture, before designing a bespoke session that was accessible and insightful. She beautifully curated a safe-space for our team to ask questions and reflect on how we can make our workplace more neurodiverse-friendly and harness all the benefits that come with that. We cannot recommend Laura enough to organisations looking to upskill and build confidence around neuroinclusive.”
