CEO Story

NeurodiverseLIFE was set up by founder and CEO, Chantelle Knight, in 2021 with a vision to incorporate the most up to date psychological and scientific knowledge of neurodiverse conditions into coaching, services, training and education – in particular, around attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Chantelle, now 42, embarked on her journey with ADHD in the 1980’s. Born in 1981 when the condition was still widely known as Hyperkinetic Disorder, her severe-type ADHD caused a wealth of professionals to be involved in her care from the tender age of 3 years old.

Over the last 40 years, Chantelle has lived through the evolution of the ADHD diagnosis as well as the scientific understanding, educational changes, medication and treatment innovations and social interpretations of the condition.
Over a career spanning 20+ years, Chantelle has held professional roles in legal, educational, counselling/coaching and public health sectors.

Her qualifications consist of a degree in education, counselling and coaching certifications, post-graduate level studies in psychology as well as numerous child development qualifications.

Consistently striving for self development and innovation within the coaching field, Chantelle is currently undertaking post graduate studies in clinical psychiatry alongside a masters degree in neuroscience and the psychology of mental health.

Throughout her work, Chantelle has acquired extensive working knowledge within the therapeutic models of CBT, MCT, ACT and DBT, which have heavily informed the neurodiversity coaching model at neurodiverseLIFE - which incorporates all 4 of these approaches in an innovative coaching model for neurodiverse individuals.
