How to Work With Me
Parent and Lead Your Family With Confidence: 12- Week, 1:1 Coaching Journey for Leaders who are Mums of Autistic or ADHD Children (0-11, diagnosis or not)
From torn to confidence — gain clarity, calm, and control at home while sustaining your career and identity.
You are a high-performing leader in your career.
At home, you’re navigating meltdowns, school stress, appointments, sleep deprivation, and the quiet question:
“Am I doing this right?”
You don’t need more advice.
You don’t need to try harder.
You need space to think clearly.
You need emotional steadiness.
You need a calm, experienced guide who understands both leadership and parenting a neurodivergent child.
I bring coaching expertise, professional experience, and lived understanding as a mum to an autistic and ADHD son. Together, we create clarity, steadiness, and a way forward that works for your life.
The G.R.O.W. Framework
Ground • Respond • Own • With Confidence
A structured, compassionate process that reduces overwhelm and builds confidence — at home and at work.
1. Ground — We Regulate You First
We start by stabilising you.
- Protected space to decompress without pressure or judgement
- Coaching tools to calm mental overload and reduce emotional reactivity
- Practical strategies to respond with clarity, protect your energy, and regain control
When you feel grounded, your thinking sharpens, your leadership strengthens, and your home life becomes calmer.
2. Respond — We Throw Away the Rule Book
Parenting a neurodivergent child doesn’t fit conventional advice.
We throw away the rule book — and build a strategy tailored to your child and life.
Together, we:
- Understand what your child’s behaviour is communicating
- Explore regulation, sensory needs, sleep, transitions, and friendships
- Test practical strategies that truly work for your family
You move from reacting to leading at home with intention.
3. Own — We Strengthen Self-Trust
We release:
- The child you expected
- The parent you thought you “should” be
- Guilt, comparison, and fear
You reconnect with your judgement, trust yourself, and make decisions from clarity rather than doubt.
4. With Confidence — Clarity, Advocacy, and Identity
You:
- Feel calmer and less reactive
- Advocate confidently with schools and professionals
- Set clear boundaries and protect your energy
- Lead at work without carrying constant guilt
Most importantly, you stop feeling divided.
You embrace your identity as a proud mum to your neurodivergent child — not as a limitation, but as an expansion of who you are.
Your leadership and parenting strengthen each other. You can have a happy family life and a fulfilling, powerful career — not by doing more, but by doing it your way, with clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
“I took Jo on holiday with me via my mobile. I’m finally figuring my daughter out; she’s calmer and can communicate her needs more easily. I had quality time with each of my kids, and my husband and I could pause, hold hands, and reflect on her progress. She went to school with a smile — and I felt more confident juggling career and family than I have in years.”

Testimonials
Olivia – As a mum of an autistic child life is often brutal, hard, loud & exhausting. As a mum of three kids sometimes it’s hard to enjoy the parenting part when the simply existing part is so overwhelming. Today I waved my three beautiful babies off to school together for the first time. The smiles on their faces said it all and I am so proud of them. Thank you Jo, for all the inspiration & encouragement. You’ve helped us so much, you’re a wonder!
Bhumika – I feel so positive and motivated after speaking to you! I did what you suggested and visualised seeing my son already at the special school we wanted, being supported. It worked! A few weeks later I was notified by his Council caseworker that he’d got in and your reassurance along the way allowed me to let go of any doubts. I felt like I was heard, that I had a voice and that myself and my child mattered and we were not just numbers.
Anna – You listened carefully to me Jo and you helped me to start to take new perspectives on my thoughts and how I cope with challenges. Your use of metaphors helped me greatly to visualise what you were explaining and using them has helped me feel more centred.
Sam – ‘You are a wonderful coach Jo so easy for people to talk to!’
Kaya – ‘I felt a bit nervous before our first session, but it was great to have time just for me and I really enjoyed it. You made me feel very relaxed. It was so good to talk to someone who really listened and understood me. I was very surprised by the realisations that I had, particularly that I worry what other people think and don’t always feel appreciated. I was surprised that I had a lot of issues that I was worrying about. The positive suggestions that you gave me to work on were really helpful. I have dreamed of setting up my own project to help other people for a long time but with everything going on I just kept saying ‘I’ll do it one day’. With your encouragement and reassurance, I started my project for myself and I’m getting wonderful feedback and appreciation from the people that I’m helping. I also took action on one of the suggestions that we came up with to challenge the ‘system’ and improve the situation for my child, I now feel more confident that he will be happier in the future. It was reassuring to know I could talk to you if I had any worries, I had a family issue come up and no one to ask about it so it was valuable to talk someone who was neutral, non-judgemental and could draw out of me what the real issues were. The sessions made me feel really happy, thank you!’
