Our Story

The mind behind the vision

“Equality isn’t treating everyone the same. After all, we all have unique brains and ambitions. Neurodiversity is everybody. It’s a case of building an environment where we support everyone’s needs and goals.

As someone with ADHD and dyslexia, I know what it’s like to feel different. In the past, it hasn’t always been easy for me to fulfil my potential in work and educational settings, which has had a profound negative effect on my self-esteem and wellbeing.

Self Agency is here to shine a light on neurodiversity and finally give everyone the tools to understand the challenges and enable organisations to evolve their cultures. People with dyslexia, dyscalculic, dyspraxia, ADHD, autism, OCD, Tourette syndrome, mental health illnesses and acquired neurodiversity (such as trauma) have a wealth of strengths to bring to our society. It’s time that they were recognised and valued.

I’m so excited to share my journey, experience and knowledge with you. Here’s to building a brighter future for the neurodivergent.”

Devon Lowndes – Co-Founder and Director of Self Agency

Our values

Every neurodiverse training and consultancy service we offer is underpinned by our three core values (EDI):

Equality

We believe that everyone should be treated equally with respect. Our neurodiversity support ensures you have the tools to remove barriers and challenge discrimination to make an impact in your organisation or community.

Diversity

Diversity isn’t just about recognising different abilities, values and perspectives. It’s about embracing every mind too. We help organisations and communities create a winning culture where every mind is appreciated.

Inclusion

Our neurodiversity consultants provide the space and tools required to create opportunities and help everyone feel accepted. We’re here to make sure every voice is heard, and every mind is valued.
