Two people got in touch with me this week, having taken the time to find out about what I do and to write a thoughtful message asking for support. I really appreciated that.
I know that for many people—especially those who are neurodivergent—reaching out isn’t always straightforward. It can bring up all sorts of feelings, and it often comes after a long stretch of trying to manage everything alone. So when someone reaches out, I don’t take it lightly.
Which is why it’s always difficult to respond with, “I’m fully booked right now.” It never feels like just another message to reply to—it matters. Because I know how much it takes to press send on that kind of email.
But when I can’t help directly, I’ll always try to help in other ways. This week, instead of turning those people away, I signposted them to a couple of brilliant, trusted colleagues in my network.
I’ve never seen other VAs or support workers as competitors. The way I see it, we’re part of a wider, supportive ecosystem—each of us with different strengths, experiences, and ways of working. There’s space for all of us, and more importantly, there are people behind each enquiry who deserve to be met with care.
Focusify Ltd was built on values of understanding, accessibility, and genuine support. I work mostly with neurodivergent clients. My goal is to reduce overwhelm, stress and anxiety.
That’s why, even when I don’t have capacity, I don’t believe in closing the door.
I believe in connection. In being human. In saying, “You’re not alone—and there are people who can help.”
