As a neurotypical person, I get enough feedback from therapist that essentially boils down to "your job is inherently stressful to a problematic extent and is not setup to give you the personal acknowledgement that would make you feel seen" that I don't think having experience in this field would make a ton of difference. Might help bridge the gap in explaining certain professional dynamics (though you could easily branch out to other white collar industries).
I'd be a little skeptical of you saying "studying psychology," though. Are you planned to get formal training (like an MA/MSW/PhD) or just read some books?
Ahh, gotcha. That makes way more sense.
Your perspective would definitely be valuable, but it might be helpful to frame your practice as being for agency folks rather than creatives. Things are rough for people across the agency world and many of the problems that creatives have present in similar ways across other roles. The neurodivergence niche is obviously valuable, but I'd be curious if it'd be sufficient to build up a big enough caseload from a business perspective.
I think there’s a huge conversation to be had about neurodivergence in agencies.
I don’t think most creatives with ADHD know they have it.
And if they do, I don’t think they realize how many of their coworkers do too. 40% of creatives.
It needs to be reframed too.
Agencies should realize it’s a super power all their best creatives have that allows them to make connections quickly and think ahead.
I think they see it as a sign that a creative is flaky and disorganized.
I think you could offer it as a course at agencies and ad schools. I wish I’d known that my ADHD meant I’d procrastinate, take rejection harder and made me hyper vigilant back in ad school.

A good practitioner doesn’t need to share every life experience you’ve had in order to help and understand you. In fact I think having an outside opinion is likely more helpful because they won’t normalize bad conditions.

Would I like help from someone who part of the industry? No, not particularly.
Would you see this as a positive differentiator? I guess, but I don’t know if it moves the needle very much.
What do you intend to do with this path? Open a niche career coaching service?
Disagree. While professional achievement / financial independence is very important for peace of mind on a capitalist society this is not my goal at all.
My goa is mental help. Maybe you are not a divergent person but the mental toll that masking takes on someone is tremendous. Plus rejection, messy processes and etc also hits harder on a neurodivergent individual. All of this affects people beyond work. Relationships, happiness. My goal is not to make people perform better, is to manage the ability to survive on a society that demands performance for people with extra obstacles.

When I was first diagnosed with adhd I work with an adhd coach as they ordered something therapists didn’t. It was very helpful. It would have been even more helpful for them to have professional context without me having to explain everything to them. But I’m also a bit unique I think in how proactive and aggressive I was in learning about adhd coping strategies.
I think it would be helpful for a “support person” to have some real perspective on the chaos inside of agencies for sure.
But I also think it would help if the workplace in general was more aware of neurodivergence and how it shows up at work - more understanding, more flexibility, more grace. But that is 100% wishful, fantasy world, thinking imho
