Ellen Shepherd

I help women who have realised they might be autistic understand and trust themselves, so they can finally build a life that works for them.

About

Hi, I'm Ellen! I help women who’ve realised they’re autistic—or are wondering if they might be—make sense of their experiences, trust themselves, and finally feel at home in their own skin.

Questioning, self-diagnosed and professionally diagnosed autistics all welcome, as as non-binary folk socialised as female.

For years, I thought I was just too sensitive, too anxious. But when I realised I was autistic, everything changed—I stopped trying to fix myself and started learning how to truly support my brain.

Now, I help other women do the same. My coaching blends deep emotional work with practical, actionable tools so you can understand yourself, meet your needs, and finally feel okay just being you.

As a certified One of Many™ women’s coach, I blend Internal Family Systems and trauma-informed principles into my work. My approach is grounded in radical self-acceptance and real-world strategies—because understanding your brain is the key to working with it, not against it.

You don’t have to keep pushing through. You can build a life that truly works for you.

Testimonials

The coaching experience with Ellen was magical; it felt such a safe space that I could be totally honest and be heard and understood.

Ellen helped me to move forward and to unpick things that I often had not even been aware of.

I am kinder to myself than I was before. I am also bolder, more adventurous, more courageous. I care less about what others think, I appreciate myself more, and I understand myself much more.

- Lucy

After over a year of feeling not like myself and struggling with stress and anxiety... I was feeling stuck.

I found Ellen’s coaching really worked for me. I learnt a lot about acceptance and I really benefited from trying different ways to explore barriers I was facing.

Just want to say thank you again for the support. I feel so much more in control of my feelings and my destiny.

- Charlotte

Ellen is an attentive and intuitive coach. I feel listened to and supported wherever I am at.

The work we did around childhood story, emotional regulation and leadership was particularly insightful for me and has started me on a personal journey of deeper learning about myself.

I’m looking forward to our next session - I always walk away feeling lighter!
