Leah Russell

Dyslexia Coach and Assistive Technology Consultant @Access Centre Ni Limited

Belfast, GB

As an advocate for supporting and empowering individuals with specific learning difficulties, my coaching focus involves fostering confidence and providing clients with the tools to become assertive and reach their full potential. With a degree and masters in Interpersonal Communication, Specific Learning Difficulties Qualification and my Level 5 in Coaching and Mentoring, my career as a one-to-one specific learning difficulties coach, since 2012, has enabled me to work with a wide variety of neurodiverse clients and students. I have coached in businesses, schools and higher education to assist individuals to manage academic, psychological and workplace challenges focusing on mental health, dyslexia and ADHD. Leah’s person-centred ethos strives to develop self-awareness and the importance of ‘having a voice’.
