Access to Work is a government-funded scheme designed to help disabled and neurodivergent people access the support they need to succeed at work. Depending on individual circumstances, funding may be available for a wide range of workplace support, including coaching, workplace strategy support, assistive technology, specialist equipment and practical adjustments. For many people, Access to Work funding makes professional coaching accessible at a point when support could make a significant difference to their confidence, wellbeing and performance at work.

At The Newman Practice, we are pleased to work with clients who receive Access to Work funding and can provide coaching tailored to the realities of modern workplaces and different ways of thinking.
 

Coaching may support areas such as:
 

• Managing workload, priorities and competing demands

• Developing sustainable ways of working and avoiding burnout

• Communication and difficult conversations

• Building confidence and self-advocacy

• Leadership and career development

• Navigating workplace relationships and change

• Understanding strengths, preferences and working styles

• Developing practical strategies that work for you and your role
   

Access to Work is available to people in full-time or part-time employment, self-employment, zero-hours contracts and those with a confirmed start date for a new role. Eligibility and funding decisions are determined by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and support available will vary depending on individual circumstances.

If you already have Access to Work funding in place, we would be happy to discuss how coaching can best support your goals and make the most of the sessions available.

If you are considering applying for Access to Work, we are also happy to talk through how coaching fits within the process and signpost you towards further information about the scheme.
 

Many people find that having dedicated time and support to better understand how they work best, build effective strategies and develop confidence in the workplace can have a lasting impact not only on their work, but on their wellbeing and quality of life more broadly.
