Why Neuro Support Exists

Why I Started Neuro Support

I’m Jamie — a neurodivergent support worker and advocate based in Christchurch.

I started Neuro Support because I know how hard it can be to get the right kind of help — support that actually understands how your brain works. I’ve lived through the overwhelm, the broken systems, the trial-and-error. And I’ve also built the tools, strategies, and confidence that I now use to support others.

Neuro Support is the service I wish I’d had — honest, flexible, and grounded in real experience.

Lived Experience Meets Practical Support

With a background in mental health and disability services, I’ve helped clients navigate systems like WINZ and Individualised Funding, and spent years developing tools to reduce stress and bring more clarity to daily life.

But what really sets Neuro Support apart is that I live it too. As someone who’s neurodivergent, I’ve used the same tools I now share — from visual planners and Trello boards to ChatGPT for goal setting, reminders, and self-reflection.

I don’t just understand neurodivergence — I build support around it.
