Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just constantly behind at university?
If university has felt harder than you expected, you’re not the only one.
A lot of people assume that if they’re struggling, it must mean they’re doing something wrong.
But most of the time, it’s not that.
University just asks a lot from you, all at once—managing your own time, keeping up with deadlines, being around people more, adjusting to a completely different environment.
And if you’re neurodivergent, that can feel even heavier—like there’s just more going on in the background that other people don’t seem to notice.
It often shows up in ways like:
sitting down to work… and just not being able to start
feeling behind, even when you are putting effort in
social things feeling more draining than enjoyable
telling yourself “I’ll sort it tomorrow”… and then repeating that loop
That doesn’t mean you’re not capable.
A lot of it comes down to how your brain is dealing with pressure, focus, and everything around you.
What actually helps (without adding more pressure)
A lot of advice tells you to push harder.
Be more disciplined. Be more organised. Stick to a better routine.
But when you already feel overloaded, that usually just makes things worse.
What tends to help more is understanding what’s going on underneath it all—and working with that, not against it.
Things like:
noticing when you’re starting to get overwhelmed (before it builds too much)
finding ways to reset your focus that actually suit you
making tasks feel easier to start, instead of forcing yourself into them
managing your energy, not just your time
quieting some of that mental noise that leads to procrastination
These aren’t big, dramatic changes.
But they’re the kind of things that make day-to-day life feel a bit more manageable.
Why I made this course
I’ve put together a free course called Neurodivergent and University.
It’s not long, and it’s not complicated.
It’s just a way to help you understand how you work a bit better—and how to make university feel less like something you’re constantly trying to keep up with.
Inside, I go through things like:
how to settle things when your head feels overloaded
getting started when you’re stuck (without forcing it)
easing procrastination in a more realistic way
handling social situations without putting loads of pressure on yourself
dealing with sensory overload and actually recovering from it
and recognising what you’re good at, not just where you struggle
It’s not about building the “perfect system.”
It’s about making things make a bit more sense.
A bit about me
I’m Matt.
I’ve spent the last decade working with university students—especially around overwhelm, mental health, and neurodivergence.
And a lot of what I share comes from real conversations over the years, not just theory.
I’m also neurodivergent myself (ADHD), and I’m epileptic—so I understand what it’s like when things don’t always feel straightforward in your own head.
If this sounds like you
If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or just a bit drained by everything, this could be a useful place to start.
It’s free, and you can go through it at your own pace.
One last thing
You don’t need to suddenly get everything together or become a completely different person for things to improve.
Most of the time, things start to shift when you understand what’s already going on—and from there, it gets a bit easier to move forward.
You've got questions. We've got answers.
This course is designed for university students who are neurodivergent - including ADHD, autism etc. or anyone who feels their brain works differently. If you’ve ever felt like traditional study advice doesn’t fit you, this course is for you.
Nope. Many students haven’t been diagnosed (or are still waiting). If you struggle with overwhelm, procrastination, focus, or social stress at uni, you’ll find this course valuable.
You’ll learn how to:
Manage procrastination in a way that fits your brain
Reduce stress and anxiety around deadlines and exams
Build confidence in social and academic settings
Use your strengths to your advantage, instead of fighting against your challenges
Create a personalised strategy for succeeding at university
it’s completely online. You’ll get instant access to video lessons which you can work through at your own pace. You can revisit them anytime you need a refresher.
All lessons can will take a few hours to complete, but you don’t have to do it all at once. Think of it as a library of support you can dip into whenever you’re struggling.
that’s the beauty of it - you can go at your own pace. There’s no pressure to keep up with anyone else. You can pause, rewind, and revisit the lessons as often as you need.
If you’re willing to try the strategies inside, yes. Past students have gone from failing assignments to passing with confidence, from hiding in silence to speaking up in groups, and from constant panic to actually enjoying their uni experience.
Yes — you’ll be able to reach out for help if you need extra guidance. The course isn’t just “watch and leave” — it’s built to support you through the journey.
Lifetime access. Once you join, you can return to the material any time you need a reset, whether it’s next week or in your final year.
