Our Approach
At Beyond the Bell Curve Coaching, we use the CReW framework. Knowing that each client is Creative, Resourceful & Whole, helps us meet neurodivergent clients exactly where they are.We focus on strengths, not fixes. That means we don’t see clients as problems to solve or puzzles to complete. Instead, we recognize that every brain already holds creativity, resilience, and wisdom. Coaching isn’t about “correcting” who you are . Instead, coaching is about uncovering what works best for you and building on it. By shifting the lens from deficit to possibility, clients often find relief, empowerment, and a fresh sense of self-trust.Our coaching is evidence-based, ICF-aligned, and rooted in respect for neurodiversity as a natural and valuable part of being human. Sessions are safe, adaptive, and client-led, with clear structure, visual tools, and flexible pacing to fit your needs.Most importantly, coaching here is a partnership built on trust, humor, co-regulation, and collaboration, not correction.
