I'm Not Here to Fix You -Â
"It's OK to feel lost, stuck, different or like an alien who has landed on a different planet where everyone else is speaking a language that you don't."
About Elaine O'Leary
I spent 39 years walking around knowing I felt different, but never knowing why or what was behind my way of viewing the world. I knew I was anxious, quirky, obstinate as some said, talked too much and couldn't seem to hold on to friends without being frankly exhausted from the effort of it.
​
You may not know what exactly or why you are coming to coaching, perhaps you feel stuck, or just want to chat with someone who "gets you". Maybe you are trying to improve parts of your life but you don't know where to start or what tools could help to support you. That's where I can help.
​
 I work online only with English-speaking clients anywhere in the world, I offer sessions where you can talk and think in a non-judgemental space.
I specialise in coaching for self acceptance and happiness. My work includes helping newly identified autistic folk work out what that means, working with autistic parents and the joy and struggles that this entails, those discovering where masking ends and you begin, and how to live your life in a way that is affirming and authentic to who you are.
​
I offer a free discovery call. If you would like to avail of one, please fill in the form below. You are welcome to have the camera turned off, stim, fidget, info-dump, take notes, ask for clarification or whatever you need to feel more comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an autism diagnosis to work with Elaine?
No. You do not need a formal autism diagnosis to access coaching. Many clients are exploring whether they may be autistic, have recently identified as autistic, or simply want support from someone who understands neurodivergent experiences. Coaching provides a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts, challenges, strengths, and goals at your own pace.
What happens during a coaching session?
Every coaching session is tailored to your individual needs. You might want to discuss autistic identity, burnout, masking, relationships, parenting, confidence, work challenges, or simply have space to process your thoughts with someone who understands. Sessions are available online via Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet, and alternative communication methods can be discussed if video calls are not comfortable for you.
What if I'm nervous about starting coaching?
It's completely normal to feel unsure before your first session. That's why Elaine offers a free 30-minute discovery call where you can ask questions, learn about the coaching process, and decide whether it feels like the right fit for you. There is no pressure to commit. You are welcome to have your camera off, stim, take notes, ask for clarification, or engage in whatever way helps you feel comfortable.
