“ My youngest child we highly suspect has ADHD and as she is getting older felt more and more at a loss of how to manager her behaviour and give her every opportunity for success out in the world as she gets older. I knew much of the problems we were facing were on my side through the way I responded and reacted and I could see it was causing a disconnect between us in our relationship. Ben though I felt I knew what I needed to do, I wasn't quite doing it... or not doing it well. Coaching with Jean has helped me to reconnect with myself s a mum and what matters to me within that role, allowing me to see the small helpless child I have in front of me and who I want to be for her. I can see a shift in my child's behaviour as she is starting to get a better version of me show up for her. Jean was easy to talk to, and although was incredibly professional, felt like I was talking to a friend who genuinely cared. I felt supported throughout our sessions and left each week motivated to take action." ”

“ "I was in need of some clarity around the direction I take with my son's diagnosis and support plan and parenting methods. I was feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Also worried about the future. The coaching has helped me work through the overwhelm to address specific challenges one step at a time. Jean is very calm and practical and was able to elicit from me my thoughts, feelings and ideas about what would be best for me and my family in a non judgemental and supportive way." ”

“ "My daughter was displaying high anxiety and OCD tendencies as lockdowns increased during the Covid pandemic. She was having compulsive thoughts and as parents we felt we needed more support for her and ourselves. Being a professional coach myself I know the value of coaching and Jean was recommended to us by another family who adore her. Our daughter was in transition finishing year 6 of primary school starting year 7 of a new school with all new people. She has now made the adjustment brilliantly and the coaching gave us all common language to use together as well as the ability to encourage her with what Jean has shared (and that it wasn't just Mum and Dad telling her!). She has improved and has even mentioned seeing her own improvement when facing things that felt like a challenge before. Thank you Jean. You are and were a God send at a time when doors were not opening due to the need being so great everywhere. It is also a comfort and encouragement to our daughter and us as parents that we know where to go if we need further support down the road." ”

“ "Our 10 year old son was very stressed about his approaching 11 plus exam. He was losing sleep through worry about the result of this one exam. He believed his whole future depended on passing and his self worth was suffering. The coaching has equipped us as parents to help our child put things into perspective, build his confidence and resilience. We are much happier and less worried about our child's mental health. Jean has been a calm and settling influence on our son." ”

“ "Hi Coach Jean, I am extremely happy with our work together. Your questioning made me think deeply and I was able to get to conclusions on my own which made me feel empowered. I felt like I could be open and honest with my responses because you had no judgement on my thoughts or feelings. I have tools that will enable me to manage, not only the situations we discussed, but many others too." ”
