If you or your child is living with dyslexia, you may already know how frustrating and exhausting day-to-day tasks can become. Whether it’s remembering instructions, staying focused, organising thoughts or juggling work and life, dyslexia can affect far more than just reading and writing.
But what if support existed that went beyond the classroom or one-size-fits-all strategies?
That’s where dyslexia coaching comes in.
So, what exactly is dyslexia coaching?
Dyslexia coaching is a highly personalised, strength-based approach that supports individuals with dyslexia to understand how their brain works and to develop tools and strategies that actually work for them. It’s not tutoring. It’s not about fixing spelling or grammar. It’s about helping someone manage the challenges of daily life with confidence, clarity and control.
Think of it as practical, empowering support that builds self-awareness, independence and resilience.
Who is it for?
Dyslexia coaching is for:
• Adults navigating the workplace or further education
• Teenagers preparing for exams or struggling with organisation
• Parents supporting a child recently diagnosed with dyslexia
• Anyone who has felt overwhelmed, stuck, or not good enough because of how they process information
It’s also ideal for people who may have developed coping mechanisms over the years but now find those no longer serve them.
What does a dyslexia coach actually do?
A dyslexia coach works collaboratively with you to:
• Identify your strengths, challenges and learning preferences
• Explore strategies for time management, memory, focus and planning
• Boost self-esteem and tackle limiting beliefs that may have built up over time
• Help set meaningful goals and break them into manageable steps
• Develop routines, tools, and systems that support success at school, work or home
It’s a partnership and it’s led by you. Coaching is future-focused, encouraging you to move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
Why does it matter?
Because dyslexia isn’t a lack of intelligence – it’s a difference in processing.
And difference does not mean deficiency.
Coaching creates a safe, non-judgemental space where that difference is not only respected, but celebrated.
It also acknowledges something many people overlook: dyslexia often comes with executive functioning challenges. That might look like forgetfulness, poor timekeeping, struggling to start (or finish) tasks or feeling mentally cluttered.Coaching helps tackle those issues in real, meaningful ways.
What can you expect to gain?
Clients often report:
• Reduced overwhelm and anxiety
• More effective routines and systems
• Greater understanding of how they learn best
• Improved confidence and self-advocacy
• A sense of control over their life again
It’s not magic – it’s meaningful, consistent support tailored to your unique brain.
Living with dyslexia in a world that isn’t built for neurodivergent minds can be draining. But with the right support, the narrative begins to shift – from surviving to thriving.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, or you know your child needs more than just another worksheet, dyslexia coaching could be a powerful next step.
Because every dyslexic individual deserves to feel seen, understood, and empowered to reach their full potential.
