Dyslexia Training for Adults
Face-to-Face and Online Dyslexia Training Programs Designed for Lasting ChangeBreak Free from Dyslexia and Thrive
Many adults with dyslexia have spent years feeling held back in their career, studies, or daily life. But it’s never too late to make a change.
Our adult dyslexia programs provide tools, strategies, and personalised support to help you improve literacy, numeracy, and confidence – using your natural visual and tactile learning style, not traditional methods that never worked.
Choose the path that suits you best: face-to-face coaching at our Sydney Dyslexia Hub, flexible online training, or an immersive retreat experience.
Are Our Dyslexia Programs Right for You?
If you’ve struggled with reading, writing, or confidence, you’re not alone – and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Dyslexia can affect many areas of life, from your job and studies to everyday tasks. Our programs are designed to help you overcome these barriers and unlock your strengths.
- Struggle with reading, writing, or spelling, no matter how hard you try.
- Feel held back in your career or studies due to literacy challenges.
- Avoid paperwork, forms, or written tasks because they feel overwhelming.
- Experience stress and anxiety when trying to focus or stay organised.
- Have trouble expressing your thoughts in writing, even when you have great ideas.
- Misinterpret instructions or information, making daily tasks harder.
- Find parenting responsibilities challenging, such as keeping up with schedules.
- Lack confidence in learning and avoid new opportunities because of past struggles.
- Know you have potential but feel unable to fully show it.
If any of these sound familiar, our programs can help you take the next step.

Success Stories – Real Results from Our Adult Dyslexia Training
“I’ve finished a three-month program with Barbara and I’m definitely a different person. I am a lot less overwhelmed, my stress levels decreased so much and I’m not only much calmer and happier at work, but also in life. I have much more energy as a result.
I used to write big reports which had stressed me out, while now it’s so much more positive. My writing has improved as much as my emotional response.
I had the confidence to go to an interview of a new position at my job – and not only did I get the job, but I was able to change the terms to make it a permanent contract and I’m so happy in that new role.
I’m so grateful to you, Barbara – I wouldn’t be in the place I am without working together, including the meditations and all the work we did well beyond literacy.”
“The techniques you have taught me, the meditations, visualisations and ways of writing have helped me so much with focus and spelling.
I didn’t have the confidence to write – and now I am writing a detective novel. I never thought I’d do that or that I would enjoy it that much. I enjoy getting the unfolding story from my head onto paper and describing it in a way that the reader gets as interested as I am in the suspense of the story.
It has helped me gain so much more confidence – also in my work. Thank you.”
