DSA Mentoring and Consultancy provides specialist one-to-one mentoring for university students with Autism and ADHD, funded through the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA). Our specialist mentoring acknowledges the lived experience of trauma, anxiety, and social stress in higher education.
We support students to:
Develop strategies for organisation, time management, and focus.
Manage overwhelm, anxiety, and transitions at university.
Build routines that support both academic performance and well-being.
Increase confidence, independence, and resilience.
Our mentoring is delivered by experienced Band 4 Specialist Mentors who hold:
Enhanced DBS checks
Professional indemnity insurance
Safeguarding and Prevent training
Ongoing supervision and CPD
We are committed to a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and inclusive approach that recognises each student’s strengths and works collaboratively towards their goals.
At DSA Mentoring Solutions, our mission is simple:
‘to help every student turn potential into progress, and progress into success.’
“As a Band 4 Specialist Mentor (Autism & ADHD), I combine one-to-one mentoring expertise with consultancy for universities. My approach bridges student lived experience with institutional practice. Unlike standard mentoring, my approach is trauma-informed and creative. I specialise in supporting Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD students using both practical strategies and creative tools. My mentoring covers not just academic success, but also confidence, resilience, and life beyond university.”
