SPARKLY FROG COACHING & CONSULTANCY

Executive Coaching | HR Consultancy | Neurodivergent Insight

Hi, I'm Francesca

I’m an Executive Coach and Chartered HR professional, supporting individuals and organisations to navigate complex workplace situations - whether that’s change, challenge, or decisions that feel difficult to untangle.

I help people make sense of what’s going on, build confidence in their thinking, and move forward in a way that works.

I have particular depth in working with people who think differently, including autistic, ADHD and AuDHD individuals - but I work with a wide range of clients facing complexity, pressure or uncertainty in their work and lives.

With over 20 years’ experience across education, financial services and the third sector, I bring both strategic HR expertise and coaching insight into every conversation.

But this isn’t just professional for me - it’s personal.

As someone who was late-identified as autistic and ADHD, and a parent of an AuDHDer, I understand both the personal and professional realities of navigating environments that don’t always fit.

How it all started...

For most of my life, I felt unseen and misunderstood - until someone close to me was diagnosed as autistic.

Suddenly, things began to make sense.

My own diagnoses of autism and ADHD brought both relief and grief - a deep exhale followed by silence. No roadmap, no support, just a report and a tangle of emotions.

It was coaching, not therapy, that gave me what I needed most: clarity, practical strategies and a sense of agency.

As I trained as a coach, I realised how much I had to offer - and how many people were facing the same questions without the right support.

Sparkly Frog Coaching & Consultancy grew from that realisation: a bridge between insight and action, understanding and change.

What I do

There’s no shortage of information - but what’s often missing is space to think, make sense of things, and decide what actually works.

Many of the people I work with are navigating something complex:

  • a difficult situation at work

  • a decision that feels high-stakes

  • a sense of being stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what comes next

My role is to help you slow things down, untangle what’s going on, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Through coaching, guided reflection and consultancy, I support individuals and organisations to make thoughtful, sustainable changes that genuinely fit.

I also bring a deep understanding of neurodivergent experience - particularly for those who are late-identified or exploring their identity - and support clients to move from confusion to clarity, and from self-doubt to self-trust.

My Vision

I believe in a world where people don’t have to force themselves into ways of working or living that don’t fit.

Where difference is understood, not questioned.


Where people can make decisions that work for them - without second-guessing or masking who they are.

Through my work, I want to create spaces where people feel able to understand themselves, trust their judgement, and move forward with confidence.

Part of that includes supporting neurodivergent individuals to feel seen, supported and able to thrive - but ultimately, this is about helping all people build lives and careers that genuinely work for them.

A little more about me (and Sparkly Frog)...

Sparkly Frog was spawned from a love of analogies (and puns!) and transformation.

I’ve always been fascinated by how things evolve - long before I had the language to describe why.

CPD is my love language.
I’m endlessly curious and usually working on some form of professional development - whether that’s a course, a book or a new idea I’m exploring.

Why “sparkly”?
Because sparkle feels joyful, simple and clear - a reminder that growth doesn’t have to be serious to be meaningful.

Tea, never coffee.
I only drink black tea - ideally from a pot and always from fine china or a paper cup. Never a mug.

Brains like puzzles.
I unwind with a cryptic crosswords or a jigsaw - usually without looking at the picture first.

My little zoo.
At home, I share space with a gentle giant of a cat (7.5 kg of fluff) and a very patient tortoise who keeps us all grounded.

I'd love to get to know you too!
