About FigCit
Fix the fit, thrive as you are.
FigCit Limited is an adaptive wellbeing and professional services company working to create a better fit between people and the world around them.
Who we are
We work with young people and adults who find it hard to navigate everyday life, including education, work, relationships, social activities and personal responsibilities.
These difficulties may be associated with neurodivergence, mental health challenges, individual differences, or the interaction between a person’s circumstances and the systems and environments around them.
People think, feel, sense, communicate, learn and function in different ways. Yet many environments, services and systems are built around narrow expectations of how people should function. When people don’t fit those expectations, their strengths can be overlooked, everyday demands can become hard to manage, and their chances to take part and thrive can shrink.
We believe the fit needs to change. People should not have to carry the whole burden of adapting to systems that do not recognise their needs.
Our mission and vision
Our mission
We develop adaptive technology, deliver professional consulting, and design environments and services that help people function and thrive in everyday life.
Our vision
A world where people can thrive as they are, and systems are designed to work better for the people they serve.
Our purpose
To help people understand themselves, navigate life’s demands and realise their potential, while helping organisations and communities create environments in which more people can take part and thrive.
What we believe
These principles shape how we understand individual needs, assess the fit between people and their environments, make practical recommendations and design solutions for individuals and organisations.
Difference, not deficit
We recognise human differences without treating them as deficiencies.
Adaptive environments, not just adaptive people
Environments and systems should respond to people’s needs, rather than expecting individuals to do all the adapting.
Support before crisis
Support should be there before difficulties escalate. No diagnosis needed.
Understand before we act
We seek to understand people, their strengths and their circumstances before deciding what support or changes are right.
Our story
“One afternoon at work, a panic attack turned into a full nervous system shutdown. For three hours I couldn’t move, speak clearly or get myself help. The help I needed only arrived after the crash. And that crash led to two weeks of absence in school and work.”
That afternoon gave me a clear question: what if support started with the capacity a person has right now and the places around them adapted to it? Our 2026 research with CESNE gave that question weight: 73% of 244 people had left a job, course or opportunity because their needs weren’t met. They didn’t need fixing. The fit did.

Meet our teamOur approach
Before any task, FigCit asks four simple questions.
- What matters?
- What kind of task is it?
- What can I manage right now?
- What is my environment like?
We bring together understanding of the individual and adaptation of the environment. We seek to understand people’s strengths, experiences, current capacity and the demands they face, and we look at how environments, expectations, services and systems can work better for them. We put this into practice through adaptive technology, professional consulting, training and research, and by designing more responsive programmes, services, products and environments.
Our Capacity Matrix uses your energy and mood to place you in a capacity band, shown as a calm traffic light, then helps you decide what to do next: go ahead, make the task smaller, move it to a better time or place, or rest first. It never scores or labels you.
