I am neurodivergent myself so I have first-hand experience of the strengths and difficulties we can face when our brains work differently and the impact of these differences on everyday life.
As a Certified Mental Health Coach, I am trained to support clients with self-compassion and techniques from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as helpful practices and strategies to get important things done.
My clients appreciate the whole-person support I provide for the practical and emotional sides of ADHD and AuDHD, particularly around emotional regulation and burnout, alongside support with organisation and getting things done.
Whether you have been diagnosed or not, are gifted, autistic or an ADHDer, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can discuss your challenges and develop strategies to move forward and live the life you want to live.
“When I was diagnosed ADHD my psychiatrist recommended ADHD coaching for help with time management and getting stuff done. Jayne helped me with this and also shared some good tips to use when I get frustrated with myself or feel anxious. It was good to be able to talk about things too. I would recommend her to anyone who wants help with the challenges of ADHD.”

What is ADHD coaching or AuDHD coaching?
Neruodiversity-affirming ADHD or AuDHD coaching offers support and strategies for people dealing with the challenges and differences of ADHD, autism, giftedness and AuDHD. It is based on curiosity and compassion and recognises that no two people are the same, so we all have different strengths, challenges and needs. The approach is non-judgemental, validating and supportive of neurodivergent differences.
The coaching that I offer draws on techniques from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) for ADHD and AuDHD, alongside self-compassion, emotional regulation and strategies for preventing and alleviating burnout. This is combined with habits and practices to support you with day-to-day skills and getting things done, while enhancing your overall wellbeing.
Neuro-affirming ADHD coaching can be particularly helpful for people who have found traditional therapy or counselling has not been a good fit for them, which is unfortunately common for neurodivergent adults, autistic people, ADHDers and AuDHDers.
While it is trauma-informed, ADHD coaching is not about delving into the past. If you would like support with this, I can work alongside a therapist or counsellor who can offer their assistance. It is also not about diagnosis, prescribing medications or altering treatment plans from your usual healthcare provider. If needed, I can assist as part of a wider team to offer additional support while you work through any changes.
Are sessions in person or online?
I offer AuDHD and ADHD coaching in Island Bay, Wellington, New Zealand or online for clients around the world. For in-person coaching, I offer a choice of indoor or walk-and-talk outdoor sessions which provide a non-traditional approach to mental health support.

More about me: What makes my ADHD coaching special?
I am the first Certified Mental Health Coach to offer ADHD coaching in Aotearoa NZ. And the first Certified Master Health Coach, too. This background and training means that I can support you as a whole person, from organising your busy day and getting things done, to regulating your emotions and dealing with racing thoughts, or navigating pitfalls of perimenopause with ADHD.
As well as providing ADHD coaching, I am also committed to the wider community: that’s why I founded a peer-support network for coaches who want to work in the neurodivergence space. Alongside this, I have regular supervision by a clinical psychologist and am passionate about continuing professional development to keep honing my skills.
Why I do what I do
As a neurodivergent person myself, I know how hard it is to navigate life when the world was not made with you in mind. I have dealt with numerous physical and mental health challenges that I didn’t always realise were related to being AuDHD, but it turns out that many of them were part of this overall picture.
I trained as a Certified Mental Health Coach because mental health is a deep-seated passion of mine, as I’ve seen personally how crucial it is in everything we do and what a profound role it plays in our wellbeing.
My mental health training helped me better appreciate my own neurodivergent traits, embrace the unique strengths that come with ADHD and AuDHD, and find strategies that help overcome the challenges.
Now I’m on a mission to help neurodivergent people understand themselves better and recognise what does and doesn’t work for them. To prevent burnout and cultivate self-acceptance, fun and joy. So they can live the life they want to live and do what truly matters to them.
