Meet Khalie: Associate ADHD, AuDHD Coach & Integrative Therapist.

Khalie Bache is an ADHD and AuDHD Coach and Integrative Therapist who supports neurodivergent teenagers, adults and parents to better understand themselves, navigate life's challenges and find approaches that work for them.

Her work is trauma-informed, neuroaffirming and centred on the belief that meaningful change begins with feeling safe, understood and accepted. She supports people navigating ADHD, suspected or self-identified neurodivergence, masking, burnout and complex emotional experiences, including those who have spent years feeling misunderstood or struggling to make sense of themselves.

My Story

As a diagnosed ADHD adult, a parent to three neurodivergent daughters and someone exploring her own autism diagnosis, Khalie brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work.

Drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, CBT, NLP and somatic practice, she takes an integrative, person-centred approach that considers the connection between mind, body and emotional wellbeing.

Her wider experience, including more than 20 years in the corporate world and surviving the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, has shaped her understanding of resilience, trauma and the importance of creating a safe space for people to explore their experiences.

A Human First Approach To Neurodiversity

Khalie's approach begins with the person, not the diagnosis. She recognises that being neurodivergent can mean navigating a world that does not always understand or accommodate the way you think, feel, communicate or experience everyday life.

For some, this can lead to years of masking, exhaustion, self-doubt or feeling as though they must constantly adapt to meet other people's expectations.

Khalie provides a supportive, non-judgemental space where clients can begin to make sense of these experiences, explore their individual needs and develop a better understanding of themselves.

My Qualifications and Training

I combine specialist coaching and therapeutic training with lived experience of ADHD, neurodivergence and trauma. My professional training and areas of practice include:

✔ Advanced AuDHD Coaching

✔ Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy
✔ Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
✔ Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
✔ Somatic Practice and Nervous System Regulation
✔ Certified Neuroaffirming Supervisor

My approach combines professional development with lived experience, allowing me to support clients with compassion, curiosity and a holistic understanding of the relationship between neurodivergence, emotional wellbeing and life experiences.

Lived Experience & A Personal Understanding Of ADHD

Khalie's journey into this work began following her own daughter's ADHD diagnosis. Seeking to better understand her daughter's experiences opened the door to a deeper exploration of neurodivergence, which ultimately led Khalie to recognise and understand her own ADHD.

She is now exploring her own potential autistic identity through an autism assessment, while raising three neurodivergent daughters.

These experiences have given her a personal appreciation of the questions, emotions and challenges that can arise when neurodivergence becomes part of your understanding of yourself or your family.

This lived experience informs her work, helping her approach clients with empathy, curiosity and an appreciation that understanding yourself is often a journey rather than a single moment of discovery.

Finding A Way Forward That Works For You

Khalie believes that people deserve support that recognises their individuality rather than focusing solely on the difficulties they experience. Whether someone is exploring a potential neurodivergent identity, coming to terms with a diagnosis, navigating burnout or seeking to understand longstanding emotional patterns, she aims to create a space where they feel safe enough to explore what matters to them.

Her work is not about forcing change or expecting people to become someone they are not. It is about developing understanding, recognising individual needs and finding a way forward that feels meaningful and sustainable.
