Always learning lots of helpful tools within my ADHD coaching sessions! No negativity about not doing things. Building my confidence. And as a separate session I also got help with the access to work side with documents to the portal etc. Very helpful and friendly all round!

I began working with Jo shortly after receiving my autism diagnosis at the age of 45. At the time, I was already an experienced practitioner, but I was navigating a new understanding of myself while continuing to work at a high professional level. Jo’s mentoring was genuinely transformative. Through her insight, strategies, and lived understanding, Jo helped me to recognise who I am, clearly identify my strengths, and understand that I am not deficient. She supported me in developing the confidence and language to advocate for myself, to understand the reasonable adjustments I was entitled to, and, crucially, how to ask for them effectively. The impact of Jo’s work with me went far beyond personal insight. By applying the strategies and approaches she shared, I not only progressed professionally; I was promoted first to a senior role and then to Service Lead. Jo helped me align my authentic self with my professional practice, strengthening both my leadership and my effectiveness. Jo’s mentoring has had a lasting impact on my confidence, my career, and my sense of self. Her support was empowering, affirming, and deeply respectful, and I cannot overstate the value of what she helped me achieve.

I had a set of ADHD/Autism coaching sessions with Jo, and she was consistently supportive and understanding throughout. She helped me talk about how hard I find things without shame, which felt incredibly important. Together we made and implemented a plan that was realistic and achievable rather than overwhelming. I left feeling understood, supported, and much more positive about moving forward.

Working with Jo has been transformative for my son. She brings together lived experience and exceptional communication, creating a space where he feels completely at ease and truly heard. Jo’s ability to guide him toward recognising his strengths has led to powerful moments of realisation and practical strategies that he feels ownership over. We’ve seen meaningful and lasting improvements in his wellbeing and independence as a result

The ADHD coaching I received was excellent. It was so nice to work with someone who had lived experience; it made all the difference. My coach was understanding, compassionate and a great mentor as well as a coach. She asked really thought provoking questions which helped me to think deeper and come up with solutions that would work for the challenges I was facing due to my ADHD and being Mum to an AuDHD daughter.
