ND Perspective

Wellbeing that Works for Neurodivergent People

ND Perspective (NDP) supports inclusion and neurodivergent wellbeing across work, life and personal self-care. We provide neuro-affirmative mentoring, courses, and training for neurodivergent people and for the professionals who support them.

Our work is practical, thoughtful, and grounded in psychology, lived experience, and systems thinking. We recognise that wellbeing is shaped not only by individuals, but by the environments, relationships, and systems they move through.

I am Jessica Dark, the founder of ND Perspective. I am a psychologist, inclusion specialist, and community researcher with a passion for supporting the conditions under which neurodivergent people can thrive. Drawing on both lived and professional expertise, I take an insight-driven approach to my work, shaping services that are authentic, practical, and firmly grounded in neurodivergent experience.

My work focuses on supporting neurodivergent people and professionals working across education, workplaces, and wellbeing services. With a background in organisational psychology, inclusive education, and community-led research, I work to inform systems and practices that recognise, respect, and actively support neurodivergent ways of being across all aspects of life.

What we offer

Mentoring for Neurodivergent People

Exploratory Mentoring is a one-to-one support service offered through ND Perspective, delivered by Jessica Dark, founder of ND Perspective.
This service provides a supportive, neuro-affirmative space to explore neurodivergence. It is suitable for people navigating a new or recent diagnosis, exploring their neurodivergent identity, or seeking practical strategies for university, work or home.
Support is personalised and responsive, shaped around individual needs and contexts. The approach is grounded in lived experience, evidence-informed psychological practice, and a commitment to accessible, affirming support.
Exploratory Mentoring supports people to:
Develop understanding of their neuro-expression and its impact on daily life, work, and wellbeing
Identify strengths, access needs, and support requirements
Develop sustainable strategies for employment, self-advocacy, relationships, and self-care
Navigate systems and environments that were not designed with neurodivergent people in mind
This work is affirming, non-pathologising, and practical, grounded in both psychological practice and lived experience.
Guidance for Professional Supporters

ND Perspective works with professionals who support neurodivergent people to develop neuro-inclusive and neuro-affirmative approaches to their work. This includes coaches, therapists, line managers, and HR professionals working across a range of organisational and practice contexts.
1: 1 support and group training is tailored to professional roles and settings, and focuses on developing understanding, confidence, and practical approaches that are ethically grounded and responsive to inclusion.
Professional support includes:
Developing understanding of neurodivergent experience and neuro-cognitive diversity in practice and workplace contexts
Deepening knowledge of the Equality Act (2010), including reasonable adjustments, anticipatory duties, and the practical implications for employers and services
Exploring how professional roles, expectations, and systems interact with neurodivergent needs and strengths
Building practical, neuro-inclusive strategies for communication, support, management, and decision-making
Strengthening confidence in working ethically and affirmatively with neurodivergent people
Reflecting on power, responsibility, and systemic barriers within professional and organisational settings
This work is practical, reflective, and applied, supporting professionals to move beyond awareness towards approaches that are sustainable, inclusive, and grounded in real-world practice.
