HR & Neurodiversity
Consulting in Geneva
Supporting organisations in understanding, integrating and unlocking the potential of neurodivergent profiles — ADHD, giftedness, ASD without intellectual disability — through concrete, non-naive interventions.
Context
Why neurodiversity matters for organisations
It is estimated that 15 to 20% of the population presents a neuroatypical profile — ADHD, giftedness, ASD, dyslexia. In a professional environment, these profiles are often either invisible or misread: perceived as difficult, unreliable or underperforming, when they may bring distinctive and rare competencies.
The problem is not always the person. It is often the mismatch between their cognitive functioning and the environment in which they are expected to perform. Understanding this mismatch — and correcting it — is both a human and a performance lever.
Geneva's international environment — UN agencies, CERN, financial institutions, multinationals — creates specific conditions: high performance expectations, diverse cultural norms and frequent profile complexity.
What neurodiversity is not
A serious approach seeks balance: understanding cognitive differences, identifying what can be adjusted, and maintaining clear professional expectations.
What is different here
A dual background: psychology and organisations
25 years in corporate environments
IBM, Hitachi Vantara, Swisscom, SPIE ICS. I know the real constraints of organisations: performance culture, management overload, deadline pressure, resistance to change.
FSP-registered clinical psychologist
Assessment of neurodivergent profiles, ADHD, giftedness, executive functions. My approach is grounded in rigorous clinical knowledge, not simplified typologies.
Reading from both sides
I understand what a neurodivergent person experiences in a professional environment — and what the organisation perceives from its side. This dual reading prevents misunderstandings and guides solutions.
Unique format
The hourly retainer
A manager or HR professional facing a difficult situation does not always have time to schedule a formal intervention weeks ahead. They need to be able to call, explain the situation and get a useful perspective — quickly.
The retainer is a pre-purchased block of consultation hours, usable on demand by phone, video or in-office. Each exchange draws on the available balance. No administrative overhead, no advance scheduling constraints.
5 hours
EntryA few punctual consultations. Ideal for testing the collaboration or addressing an urgent situation.
10 hours
StandardAn engagement over a few weeks: advice, situation follow-up, preparation for difficult conversations.
20 hours
ExtendedA more structured approach: training, ongoing advice, team intervention and sustained follow-up.
Hours usable over 12 months by phone, video or in-office in Geneva. Rate on request.
Interventions
Formats available
Awareness session
A short intervention introducing key concepts: ADHD, giftedness, ASD without intellectual disability, executive functions, cognitive overload and practical communication guidelines.
Manager training
Practical training for managers facing atypical cognitive profiles. The goal is to distinguish difficulty, lack of motivation, need for adaptation and legitimate professional expectation.
Individual HR advice
Analysis of a concrete situation with HR or management: maintaining employment, return from sick leave, role adaptation, team communication, expectation-setting.
Team intervention
Intervention within a team when an atypical profile creates misunderstandings or tensions. Focus on communication, mutual expectations and collaboration conditions.
Work practice audit
Analysis of processes that may disadvantage certain profiles: onboarding, feedback, meetings, instructions, priority management, sensory environment and performance evaluation.
Conference or workshop
Broader format for opening reflection on neurodiversity, cognitive load, atypical strengths, normalcy bias and conditions for sustainable performance. On-site or remote.
Related assessments
Clinical assessments that document profiles
When an individual assessment is relevant — at the person's own request, not the employer's — clinical assessments document the cognitive profile with validated tools.

HR & Neurodiversity Consulting
Who is this service for?
HR managers, line managers, diversity & inclusion officers and leadership teams confronting questions of neurodiversity at work — whether a single employee situation, a broader inclusion project or a training and awareness need.
Do you work with large corporations and SMEs?
Both. Neurodiversity concerns all organisations. My approach adapts to the size, culture and constraints of each. A 20-person SME does not have the same needs as a multinational, but the underlying clinical questions are often similar.
How does the hourly retainer work?
The retainer is a pre-purchased volume of consultation hours, usable on demand. It allows an HR manager or line manager to reach out punctually — by phone, video call or in-office — without having to schedule weeks in advance. Each exchange, each discussion of a concrete situation draws on the available balance.
Do you diagnose employees?
No. Organisational consulting does not involve clinical diagnosis of employees. Where an individual assessment is relevant, it takes place in a separate, confidential framework with the person's consent — not at the employer's request.
Do you intervene outside Geneva?
In-person interventions are primarily in Geneva and French-speaking Switzerland. Training, HR consulting and conferences can also take place remotely.
