Our Approach

ND-Informed PA Support, Designed Around How Your Brain Works

Traditional PA support isn’t built for neurodivergent brains. We are. Our PAs are ADHD-informed and trained with guidance from a private occupational therapist, so the support works with how you think, not against it.

Language matters to us

We use the right language because it matters. A person is neurodivergent. A group can be neurodiverse. Neurodiversity is the natural variation in how brains work. Getting this right isn’t performative. It reflects how we actually think and operate.

Beyond traditional support

We build personalised support around how you actually work. Our PA team understands that different thinking styles aren’t barriers to overcome. They’re how you operate, and the right support should fit around that.

Our Areas of Support Include:

Executive Function Assistance

Helping you plan, prioritise, and manage tasks effectively, with support that adapts to your energy and capacity.

Task & Time Management

Creating rhythms, routines, and reminders that actually work for your brain, whether you love a list or loathe it.

Communication Support

Inbox management, correspondence tracking, and message drafting, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Financial Organisation

Support with budgeting, light bookkeeping, invoicing, and keeping on top of the financial admin that drains your energy.

Home Life Admin

Because executive function doesn’t stop at work. We can help with:
  • Online grocery orders and meal planning support
  • Appointment booking (medical, home, family)
  • Reminders for key dates, renewals, and payments
  • Organising home-related admin like utilities or subscriptions

Collaborative Partnerships

Working Together  

We work alongside Purpose People, a team of specialist occupational therapists who refer their neurodivergent clients to us. They do the clinical work. We provide the day-to-day PA support that sits alongside it.

Our PAs are trained to work with neurodivergent professionals, understanding how conditions like ADHD and dyslexia affect executive function and daily admin. Purpose People recommend us because the support we provide complements the therapeutic guidance they offer, creating a complete picture.

Access To Work Funding

If you’re neurodivergent, whether you have a formal diagnosis or are in the process of seeking one, you may be eligible for Access to Work funding, which can cover a significant portion of your support costs.

The application process matters. How the support is described makes the difference. We support our clients through the process as part of their onboarding, and we know exactly how to position it. Every application is assessed individually by DWP, and the guidelines do change, but we stay up to date so you don’t have to. Our finance team also supports the invoicing side so your claims run smoothly from day one.

The reality is that Access to Work waiting times can be long, and if you need the support now, you need it now. Many of our clients start on a self-pay basis while their application is being assessed, then switch to funded support once it comes through. That way you’re not waiting months to get help you need today.

FAQs

  • Do I need a formal diagnosis to use LifeSort?
    No. Many of our clients are in the process of seeking a diagnosis or are self-identified. The support works the same way regardless.

  • Will my PA understand ADHD or is this just standard VA support with a label on it?
    Our PAs are trained with guidance from a private occupational therapist. They understand how ADHD, autism and other neurodivergent traits affect executive function, motivation, and daily admin. Your PA also has direct access to our OT if they need to adjust how they’re supporting you. This isn’t standard VA support rebranded.

  • What if I go quiet or stop responding?
    It happens, and our PAs are trained to expect it. We know neurodivergent brains have peaks and troughs, and we work with that, not against it. Your PA will keep checking in, friendly and low-pressure, just to keep things moving. When you onboard, we have a conversation about exactly this. How would you like your PA to handle it if you go quiet? What feels like a helpful nudge and what feels like nagging? The way you work best is the way we need to fit with you.

  • I feel embarrassed about how behind I am. Is that normal?
    Yes. Nearly every client says this on the first call. There is no judgement here. Your PA has seen it all and the worse it looks, the better it feels once someone steps in and helps you get on top of it.

Get In Touch

Whatever’s on your plate, we can help. Your PA has Annabel, Kate and the team behind them. You’re in safe hands.

A Note From Our Founder

I’m neurodivergent myself – that’s exactly why LifeSort exists. When you find a PA who understands how your brain works without you having to explain it, that’s gold dust. The right support shouldn’t be this hard to find.
