Holly lives in the East Sussex countryside with her husband, children, scruffy dog and ginger cat. “When I’m not working you’ll find me re-charging my batteries at the local beach, renovating our 'doer-upper', or pottering in my kitchen garden”.

“I believe in celebrating neurodiversity and the value that difference and diversity of thinking can bring to society.

At certain times in our lives some differences can become disabling and I am passionate about supporting people to find the right support and accommodations to allow them to thrive and reach their potential.”
