Neurodivergent-Affirming · LGBTQIA+ Inclusive · Accessibility-Focused
There is a genius, and a spark, for every single person.
I'm interested in your values, your strengths, and what you want to work on with the skills you already learned over life and apply that to realizing what your potential is.
About
Meet Mythily
Eight years within a behaviour therapy paradigm. I'm just so interested in the human brain.
I've worked with people since I was young: a few years as a counsellor at university, then eight years within a behaviour therapy paradigm, with people with autism and ADHD, grounded in behaviour science. That first job was too much for me, so I moved to working with kids with severe autism. I got burned out from that too, but I really enjoyed the work.
I've worked with almost every kind of person: acquired brain injury, personality disorders, ADHD, autism, developmental disabilities, memory loss. I'm also a systems thinker; I spent four years as a software engineer. My approach is playful, calming and grounded. And I always remember what a person's spark is.
Inspiration behind Ikagrit
The name comes from two words. Ikigai is Japanese for building a life with purpose that sustains you. Ekāgratā is Sanskrit for focus, one-pointed concentration, and clarity.
Focus on your higher purpose: understand your strengths, talents, and values, and align your current life with a new path forward.
Ikagrit Approach
Understand yourself, then build from it.
Coaching that works with your nervous system instead of against it, so change is sustainable, not forced.
Understand yourself
Hone into your values, your strengths, what you want to work on with the skills you already learned over life and apply that to realizing what your potential is. This is your chance to rewrite your story.
Safety first
Nothing meaningful grows in a threatened nervous system. We learn by building safety, at your pace and help build a new default state of calm and confidence.
Strength and Values
You set the direction based on your values and strengths. We build from what is already creative and capable in you, and track progress that matters to you.
Creativity with structure
Your neurodivergence and the stigma around it is not a problem to fix. We pair your creativity with just enough structure to act on it, aligning your inner world and outer life.
You set the direction. I bring a steady, affirming presence and a framework grounded in safety. Together, we move toward a life that feels coherent, inside and out.
Services
Ways we can work together
Every offering is grounded in safety and your own pace. Start with a free discovery call, then choose the rhythm that fits you.
- Emotional & nervous-system safety
- Feel safe with your own emotions. We use practical tools, including the feelings wheel, so big feelings stop running the show.
- Creativity with structure
- Your neurodivergent mind is creative. Together we build just enough structure, through journaling, art, and rhythm, to turn that creativity into things you actually finish.
- Social, dating & intimacy skills
- Make friends, navigate dating, and explore healthy intimacy on your own terms. Affirming, judgment-free support for connection, and LGBTQIA+ affirming throughout.
- Growth
- Work gently with avoidance, rejection sensitivity, and old patterns. A safe, paced space to look at what is hard.
- Conflict resolution and mediation
- Sessions with the people around you, a partner, a parent, someone at work, to work through friction together rather than one side at a time.
Working together

Start here
Free 40-minute discovery call
I want to understand your needs and your challenges, and we talk about whether we're a fit.
Environmental audit
One-off review of your space
A practical review of your environment, home or clinical, to identify sensory stressors and make the space more supportive for focus and ease. I provide actionable recommendations and follow-up support.
Single session
One-off, book whenever you need
A single session without commitment. Good for a check-in, one specific challenge, or simply trying things out.
Biweekly
One session every two weeks + accountability
A gentle, steady rhythm, with check-ins between sessions to keep you accountable, so momentum, safety, and trust build without a heavy weekly commitment.
Weekly
One session a week + accountability
The deepest support: weekly sessions plus accountability between them, so creativity and real change keep moving week to week.
The monthly plans include accountability between sessions: sessions close with something concrete for the week, and I follow up regularly, three to five short check-ins, about ten minutes each. A phone call is best; a voice message works. Want something more intensive? We shape it together in your free discovery call, with no pressure to decide up front.
Ikagrit offers coaching and consultation. Mythily draws on her training as a behaviour therapist and a software engineer, with a systems-thinking approach. The work here is forward-looking and collaborative, and you are the driver of your own change. My coaching is LGBTQIA+ affirming and neurodivergent-affirming.
