Description

Do you know what you need to do, but struggle to actually get started? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by everyday tasks, lose track of time, find planning difficult, or have a long list of things you keep meaning to get around to.

Executive Function Coaching can help you understand why these things feel difficult, and find practical strategies that work with the way your brain actually works.

About my coaching I'm Jeanette, an Executive Function Coach based in Scotland, UK. I work online with adults across the UK and internationally.

My approach is practical, collaborative and strengths-led. Rather than giving you another list of things you "should" be doing, we look at what's getting in the way and find approaches that are realistic for you.

Executive function difficulties don't stay in one part of life. You might notice them:

At home – admin that piles up, or knowing what needs doing but never quite getting to it

In relationships – forgetting things you meant to do, or feeling like you're always playing catch-up

At work – missing deadlines, struggling to prioritise, starting things you don't finish

Running a business – constant switching between roles, decision fatigue, and a growing backlog of "should do" tasks

You don't need to have everything figured out before you start. Coaching gives you the space to slow down, understand what's actually happening, and work out what might make things easier.

Executive function challenges are particularly common among neurodivergent adults. I work with people with ADHD, autism, AuDHD and dyslexia, as well as people who identify with executive function difficulties without a formal diagnosis.

Many people I work with have spent years wondering why things that seem to come easily to other people are so much harder for them. Understanding your own executive function profile can be a useful starting point for making sense of this.

I have specialist training in Neurodivergent Burnout for Practitioners, and I'm particularly interested in helping people find ways of working and living that are sustainable, rather than simply trying to do more.

Working with business owners - Running a business puts a particular kind of pressure on executive function. There's no one else setting your deadlines or holding the structure for you, and every part of running things depends on your own planning, prioritising and follow-through. I work with business owners on the specific patterns this creates, such as ideas that don't turn into action, decision fatigue, or a backlog of admin that keeps growing, and on building systems that fit the way they actually work.

My background - I completed my Executive Function Coach training through MindSpark, whose training is informed by educational psychologists in the US. I also hold a BSc in Psychology and a COSCA-recognised counselling skills qualification.

I work in line with the Association for Coaching's Global Code of Ethics.

What to expect - Coaching is collaborative. We start with what's happening for you now and identify the areas you'd most like to work on.

There isn't a fixed programme everyone has to follow. Some people want help getting started on a particular task. Others want to manage their workload, build a routine, or understand why a strategy that works for other people hasn't worked for them. We focus on what's useful to you.

We often start by building a picture of your unique executive function profile, using resources designed for this, then use that to shape your goals around your own values rather than a generic template. Depending on what's relevant, we might also look at demand mapping, to understand what's genuinely being asked of you day to day, or hormonal mapping, to understand how your cycle affects your energy and capacity. You'll receive a summary and relevant resources after each session to support you between appointments.

Coaching also builds your awareness of your own executive function, so you're able to notice what's happening and adjust it yourself, not just during sessions but afterwards too.

All sessions take place online via Google Meet.

I offer a free, no-obligation discovery call if you'd like to talk about what's been going on and whether coaching might be a good fit.

International clients - I work with clients internationally, so you don't need to be based in the UK to work with me. Sessions are delivered online via Google Meet.

Please note: coaching is provided on a private-pay basis and is not billed directly to health insurance. If you're employed or self-employed in the UK, you may be able to fund coaching through the Access to Work scheme.

Monday to Sunday at times to be mutually arranged.
