Diane Alexander
Psychotherapist | Executive Coach | Neurodiversity Master Practitioner
I am Diane Alexander, a BACP-accredited and UKRC-registered therapist (since 2004), EMDR Practitioner, Executive Coach, and Master Practitioner in Neurodiversity. I specialise in working with eco-entrepreneurs, corporate organisations, and professionals in regulated and high-responsibility roles who need confidential, high-quality psychological support
With over 25 years’ experience across private practice, business, the NHS, education, and corporate environments, I bring a calm, grounded and highly practical approach to mental health and leadership.
Mental Health & Performance — Treated as One
At TLC Partners, we deliver neurodiversity training, mental health training, counselling, and executive support to corporate clients across the UK, working expressively with the C suite and their staff.
My work is rooted in a simple belief:
Mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing are inseparable.
When the individual suffers, everything suffers — performance, relationships, and purpose.
That’s why my work goes beyond talking therapy. I support clients as a whole person, integrating my 5 pillar process:
- Mental health
- Neurodiversity
- Stress & sleep regulation
- Nutrition, exercise, and self-care
- Sustainable ways of working and living
Specialisms
I specialise in working with:
- Eco-entrepreneurs & purpose-led founders navigating growth, pressure, and responsibility
- Corporate leaders and teams managing stress, burnout, communication and cultural change
- Neurodivergent individuals and organisations seeking clarity, confidence, and alignment
- High-pressure environments following trauma or critical incidents
Common areas I support include anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, insomnia, imposter syndrome, confidence issues, assertiveness, and emotional regulation.
Experience You Can Trust
Alongside my private practice, I have worked extensively in:
- The NHS and Primary Care
- Higher Education
- Corporate and EAP settings
- Barnardo’s, supporting adults and children around trauma, sexual abuse, self-harm, eating disorders, and identity
- Adoption Central England, supporting children and families
I am an affiliate practitioner for Bupa, AXA, and other insurance providers, a registered clinical supervisor, and I supervise therapists as part of my practice.
I am also trained in critical incident and trauma debriefing, supporting organisations and individuals following serious workplace incidents, including sudden death and terrorist attacks.
Leadership, Governance & Community
Since 2022, I have been a Trustee of Lifespace, a children’s charity promoting the wellbeing of young people across Warwickshire.
How I Work
I work with:
- Individuals
- Couples
- Groups and teams
- Corporate organisations
Sessions are available face-to-face and online, offering flexibility without losing depth or connection.
My role is not to “fix” you — it’s to help you reconnect with your strengths, regulate your nervous system, and build a life and work pattern that is genuinely sustainable.
Alongside my work at TLC Partners, I am also the founder of NeurA+, a neurodiversity consulting practice supporting CEOs, founders and senior leaders who are navigating the particular pressures of running a business or leading a team. If you are a business owner or senior leader wanting to understand how your own mind, or those of the people you lead, actually works under pressure, you can find out more at NeurA+
A Final Thought
Most people are exceptional at caring for others — and terrible at caring for themselves.
If you’re ready to stop running on empty, to work in a way that supports both performance and wellbeing, and to reach your full potential without burning out, I would be delighted to work with you.
Corporate Workshops & Services
Organisational Wellbeing, Neurodiversity & Performance Assessment
Taking the first step towards addressing wellbeing — whether for an individual or an organisation — is often the most difficult. It is also where meaningful and sustainable change begins.
Alongside coaching and counselling, we provide a structured organisational wellbeing and neurodiversity-informed assessment. This is designed to identify the psychological, cultural, and environmental factors within your workplace that contribute to:
-
Sickness absence, presenteeism, and stress-related leave
-
Burnout, chronic overload, and emotional fatigue
-
Retention challenges, disengagement, and loss of talent
-
Underperformance linked to unmanaged stress or unmet neurodivergent needs
-
Increased risk of mental health claims, grievances, and conflict
Crucially, our assessment considers how neurodivergent employees (including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and related profiles) experience your organisation — and where systems, expectations, or communication styles may unintentionally increase stress, exclusion, or attrition.

Understanding the Way Your Mind Works
Over twenty-five years of working with people, and as the parent of two neurodivergent children, I have been asked one question more than any other, “Could I be neurodivergent?” It was in answer to that question that I devised the NeurA+ Neurodiversity Self-Assessment, drawing on everything my professional and lived experience has taught me about how neurodivergence truly shows up in people’s lives. The assessment explores twelve areas of everyday life, including attention, sensory experience, masking, burnout and your early years, and helps you discover whether the patterns you live with may point towards ADHD, autism or other forms of neurodivergence.
This assessment is not a diagnosis, and it does not replace one, but it is far more than a simple checklist. It is a structured and considered first step, designed to give you genuine insight into the way your mind works. Once you have completed it, you are invited to book a free discovery call, where we will go through your results together, explore what they are telling you, and decide on the right next step for you, whether that is working with me or seeking a formal diagnostic assessment with a specialist.
