NEURO-AFFIRMATIVE FAMILY COACH
Helping neurodivergent
families work with their brains, not against them
With neuro-affirming, strength-based coaching, we empower neurodivergent families to navigate challenges confidently, while celebrating and nurturing each person’s unique abilities too.
Living with a unique brain is not about 'fixing' what's 'broken'; it’s about understanding and accepting that you're uniquely wired and building a life that leans into your strengths and natural abilities, while providing support for the challenges too.
WHO AM I?
Your Neuro-affirmative Coach
Justine is a Certified ADHD Coach with ADHD Works UK (CPD accredited & member of The Association for Coaching) and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Cape Town (SA).
Her coaching approach is neuro-affirmative, meaning she looks beyond the pathologised labels often associated with neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD, working with her clients from a holistic perspective.
This approach empowers individuals to focus on their strengths and natural abilities while addressing the challenges that may arise from executive function gaps, common in ADHD and other neurodivergent brains.
The coaching process is bespoke and personalised, recognising that each person has unique experiences and challenges. Justine herself was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, and receiving ADHD coaching was the most transformative experience in helping her understand and embrace her newly-discovered unique brain.
