What if you didn’t need luck to find the person who’s going to help you?
A lived experience marketplace for everyone — starting with parents and carers of neurodivergent children. No clinical filters. No judgment. Just lived experience, shared.
How it works
Two paths — one platform.
Looking for support
Find someone who gets it
Start without signing up
Answer a few questions about your journey, communication style, and what you need. No account required — just honesty.
We read every response ourselves
A real person on our team reviews your intake and handpicks a consultant who shares your lived experience — not an algorithm.
Meet someone who truly gets it
Book a session at a time that works for you. No explaining yourself from scratch. No justifying how you feel.
Ready to share your experience
Become a Lived Experience Consultant
Tell us your story
Apply with your lived experience and the areas you know best. We want to understand who you are, not just your credentials.
We review every application personally
Our team reads every application. If the fit feels right, we will be in touch to talk it through before you go live.
Start supporting — on your terms
Set your own schedule and pace. You keep 85% of every session. We handle the matching, booking, and payment.
What we promise
Lived experience
Every consultant on Lived. has their own personal journey with neurodivergence — not just academic knowledge.
Certified & safeguarded
All consultants hold relevant professional certifications and have signed our safeguarding agreement.
GDPR compliant
Your neurodivergence data is special category data. We store it in the EU and never share it without your explicit consent.
Your journey doesn't fit one category — and neither do we.
We're adding new areas of lived experience all the time. If you can't find what you're looking for, tell us. We'll find the right connection.
