Who we are

We’re a team of experienced, trauma-aware coaches supporting deeply feeling adults who experience the world more intensely, as well as organisations looking to better support their people.

Our work is neurodiversity affirming. We support neurodivergent adults, including those who are Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, late identified, self identifying or still figuring things out. We understand how often neurodivergence is misunderstood, pathologised or treated as something to fix. 

We bridge trauma awareness, nervous system regulation and neurodiversity affirming practice, grounded in an understanding of how trauma and chronic stress shape behaviour and identity. 

We offer 1:1 coaching, group spaces, training and trauma-aware education. 

Our approach is somatic and practical, shaped by both lived experience and professional practice. We focus on regulation, capacity building and change that feels sustainable, not forced. 

Everything moves at a pace that supports safety, not pressure. 

Our values

Curiosity. Compassion. Connection.

These aren’t just words – they’re how we do this work.

  • Curiosity: Because your system makes sense, even when it feels messy
  • Compassion: Because shame has never healed anyone
  • Connection: Because no one should have to do this alone

I’m the founder of All That We Are and This Is Me Agency. I’ve always been passionate about helping people overcome barriers and find their unique path in life.

My journey began with This Is Me, supporting individuals with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and other challenges to achieve their employment goals. But along the way, I discovered something even deeper about what it means to truly thrive.

Dan helps people figure out why life feels so bloody hard sometimes – getting underneath the surface to find what actually helps. He’s not afraid of the mess; the real, human stuff most people try to hide, because, as he’s learned himself, pretending it’s fine only keeps you stuck.

More about Michelle...

A few years ago, I began my own healing journey. Like many people, I didn’t think of myself as someone who had experienced trauma. But through working with a trauma-informed coach, I started to see how past experiences had shaped my emotions and behaviors. That journey changed everything for me.

I became certified in somatic trauma-informed coaching and trained as a Brainspotting practitioner, learning how to connect with emotions stored in the body and approach healing with curiosity and compassion. Now, I’m on a mission to share these transformative tools with others.

All That We Are was born from this passion. It’s about raising awareness of trauma, helping people connect with their emotions, and offering practical, compassionate support. We want to normalize the conversation around trauma because, we’ve all experienced it in some way.

Outside of work, my life is all about connection and growth. My husband and I homeschool our son, which has been an incredible adventure and a constant reminder of the joy in learning together. I’m also a huge fan of ice baths—I love the challenge, the clarity, and the sense of calm they bring (yes, really!).

I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued—and I’m here to help people realize they are enough, just as they are.

Through workshops, 1-2-1 coaching, and education across schools, workplaces, and beyond, my amazing team and I are here to support you on your journey to becoming whole, happy, and fulfilled.

Let’s take the first step together. You’re not alone.

More about Sally...

I’m Sally – late-identified AuDHD, deeply sensitive and still unravelling. I’m a somatic, trauma-informed coach specialising in supporting neurodivergent adults, particularly those exhausted by masking, navigating late-diagnosis grief or trying to cope in a world that wasn’t built for their nervous systems.

My approach is gentle, body-led and deeply relational. I support people who’ve spent years holding it all together, often labelled as ‘too much’ or ‘too sensitive’, to finally feel safe enough to exhale. 

My work is rooted in a trauma-informed understanding of the nervous system, and using  Brainspotting, Parts Work, and somatic tools, I support people in recognising that what often gets labelled as anxiety, burnout or emotional dysregulation is often the body’s brilliant response to chronic stress, masking, or survival mode. Together, we explore the impact of past experiences on the present, to gently unhook from old patterns and reconnect with the parts of you that were never broken, only protecting you.

Outside of this work, I ground myself in nature  – walking in the woods or dipping into cold water to reset. These moments of stillness shape how I hold space for others: slow, attuned, and always with care.

If you’re craving a space where your nervous system doesn’t have to perform – just be felt, honoured, and understood – I’d love to walk alongside you.

More about Dan...

Neurodiversity-Affirming, Trauma-Aware Coach

I’m Dan, a somatic, trauma-aware coach. Most of the people I work with are trying to figure out why life feels so bloody hard sometimes, even when they’re doing all the right things.  

I support adults who feel burnt out from masking, overwhelmed by the day to day, or worn down by the effort of fitting into everyone else’s version of normal. Many of the people I work with are Autistic or ADHD, but not everyone is, what matters is how you experience and make sense of things.  

Like most of my clients, I’ve been there too, years of keeping up the act, overthinking everything, and pretending I was fine when I wasn’t. I do this work because I know how much difference it makes when someone finally meets you where you are, no masks and no judgement, just understanding.  

My approach is practical and collaborative to help you make sense of what’s really going on underneath and work with your nervous system, not against it. Some sessions are practical and some are slower. You can show up exactly as you are and we’ll follow what’s useful, not a plan someone else wrote.  

When I’m not coaching, you’ll probably find me out walking, cooking a roast big enough for leftovers, or reading crime fiction on my Kindle.

More about Suzanne...

My mission is to help as many people as possible find happiness and live their lives to the fullest. I provide a safe and nurturing environment where clients can get curious about their past trauma, understand the connection between mind and body, and reclaim their power in the present.

I believe that everyone deserves to be seen and heard, without judgment or repercussions. In our 1-on-1 sessions, you have the freedom to express yourself authentically, to delve into your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can get curious and start to grow at your own pace. By working somatically with the body, we tap into the power of sensations and help you develop a deeper understanding of how past trauma manifests in the body and shows up in the present.

Through guided exploration, we’ll identify the parts of you that have been shaped by feelings and core wounds of unworthiness, not being good enough, not important enough and unlovable. With compassion and curiosity, we’ll nurture your inner child, offering the love and support they’ve always needed. Together, we’ll navigate through the challenges of overwhelm, stress, anxiety, and more. We’ll discover the power of selflove, self-care, and self-acceptance. You’ll embark on a journey of growth, where you’ll find your voice, rebuild confidence, and live a life aligned with your true essence.
