**Coaching That Meets You Where You Actually Are**

Thoughtful, grounded support for
late-diagnosed adults with ADHD & AuDHD.

Coaching

One-on-one support to help you make sense of how your brain and nervous system show up day-to-day — and build ways of living and working that actually fit you, not someone else’s version of productivity.

Mentoring

A space to think out loud about work, leadership, transitions, identity, or boundaries — with someone who understands neurodivergent realities and won’t try to fix what isn’t broken.

Consulting

I work with organisations to create environments that better support neurodivergent people — because when workplaces truly adapt, everyone benefits.

Hey There!

I’m Janine, a coach, mentor and thinking partner for ADHD & AuDHD adults navigating life and work in a world often built for someone else’s brain.

I know what it’s like to be:

– Capable, curious and industrious
– Quietly exhausted
– Brilliant at some things
– Confused by others
– And maybe a little tired of productivity hacks that ignore your actual energy.

Because I’ve lived it — ADHD & AuDHD diagnosis came at 45, after years of burnout, “push through”, and figuring out the hard way what really helps.

Here, we don’t fix you.
We explore.
We slow down enough to find what actually works.
We build clarity, capacity, and (yes) little moments of joy.

Freya, my rescue Doberman and unofficial co-coach, might also make an appearance. She’s excellent at reminding us to slow down — and has strong opinions about fluffy blankets and squeaky toys.

More about me

Why Choose Janine?

1

I’ve lived it

My AuDHD diagnosis came at 45, after years of burnout and “push through.” I bring both training and the understanding that only comes from lived experience.

2

I work with late-diagnosed adults

This is a space where you don’t need to explain or justify your experience. The grief, relief, recalibration, and exhaustion that come with late diagnosis? I get it.

3

I don’t do one-size-fits-all

Your ADHD or AuDHD is unique. We focus on what fits you — your nervous system, your capacity, your reality — not generic productivity advice.

4

I adapt in real time

If you show up to a session tired, foggy, or overwhelmed, we adjust. I read the room (and your energy) and meet you where you actually are that day.

5

There’s no pressure here

Gentle, realistic accountability — yes. Shame, pushing, or “just try harder” — never.

6

There’s lightness too

This work is serious, but it doesn’t have to be heavy. You’re allowed to laugh, be messy, and show up as yourself.

Testimonials

Janine is the first person that I turn to

Janine is an effective communicator, educator, mentor, and friend, but most of all, she saw I had the potential I didn’t realise I had. Janine is the first person that I turn to when I have an issue or need a problem resolved.

I’ve been able to achieve financial goals

Since starting to work with Janine, I’ve been able to achieve financial goals I set myself with her support. I’ve learned to acknowledge the things I find difficult and develop strategies to work around them.

I’ve also realised that I do a lot—and that I don’t need to push myself so hard all the time. Wellness days are now actually for wellness; not studying or being “productive”. Resting is okay, and it’s needed.

I’m continuing to work with Janine and value having her support in living a more balanced AuDHD life.

I feel seen

As a fellow AuDHDer (someone with the fun-house combo of Autism and ADHD), she just gets it. I feel seen in a way that no other healthcare, mental health professional or allied health worker ever has. There has been no boxing in, no shaming, no dismissal. Instead, I’ve received kindness and helpful, structured guidance.

It’s been huge having someone in my corner

Working with Janine has helped me put simple systems in place that actually fit my values and how my AuDHD brain works, instead of fighting against it. It’s been huge having someone in my corner who’s clearly walked a similar path. She shares lots of small, very usable ideas—like her INCUP framework (making tasks Interesting, Novel, Challenging, Urgent, and Purposeful)—that quietly add up over time. Our sessions always felt safe and relaxed, and she was great at reading my energy and adjusting to what I had capacity for that day.

Warren, Manager

I am feeling more sure of myself and my strengths

I just found out this afternoon that I won one of the permanent positions! I am very excited – it makes me feel positive and excited for the future. I have stability now. I am feeling more sure of myself and my strengths. I still have anxiety, of course, but I am going to try and accept that as normal.”

ADHD Mentee, Solicitor

We learned a bunch of strategies for thriving in our chosen fields

We now have tools and techniques for time management, organisation, and sensory needs. We were given tips for communicating those needs to others by setting boundaries and assertively asking for support. And we learned how to find more creative solutions to establishing a flexible, supportive workplace. All up, a treasure trove of self-care and resilience tools.
