Jean Gibson

Transforming Lives Through Coaching

About

My mission is to change the story of ADHD — to move beyond stigma, misunderstanding, and overwhelm — and to empower individuals, families, and professionals to truly thrive.

I support people across all stages of life, whether you are:
  • Facing challenges in the workplace — struggling with performance, communication, motivation, confidence, burnout, or planning your next career step
  • Parenting a child with ADHD or suspected ADHD — navigating behaviour, friendships, school issues, emotional regulation, or low self-esteem
  • A family experiencing constant conflict or uncertainty — wanting reassurance, direction, and strategies that actually work
  • A professional or employer seeking to better support neurodivergent employees and create inclusive, thriving workplaces

Wherever you are starting from, I walk alongside you as your Coach — helping you understand what’s happening, design solutions that fit your life, and confidently implement meaningful, sustainable change.

I work with children, young people, adults, families, educators, and organisations — with or without an ADHD diagnosis — using a blend of evidence-based coaching, lived experience, and the APD Process.

I am the Amazon bestselling author of The ADHD Support Handbook, where I share practical tools and real-life insights from supporting my own child with ADHD.

As an award-winning Qualified Professional Performance Coach, Certified WISDOM Coach for Kids, Certified ADHD Life Coach, and Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work.

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or your workplace, I’m here to help you build clarity, confidence, and a path forward.
Let’s talk and explore how coaching can help you or your loved one thrive.

Testimonials

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Jean for her incredible impact on my journey. Her knowledge, professionalism, and mindfulness of everyone’s needs made every course valuable. Jean consistently reminded us that she was there for us and truly showed up every single time.
What stood out the most was how she infused her teaching with her outstanding coaching skills. These were inspiring moments that resonated deeply with all of us and became powerful teaching experiences. Her constant support and commitment to our growth made a significant difference, and I am so grateful for her guidance throughout this journey.

- Sev, ADHD Coach Student

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 in 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.

- Sara_ Coaching for kids

Our 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 for 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 primary school and starting in year 7 at secondary school. This was a new school with all new people. She has made the adjustment brilliantly, and the coaching gave us all a common language to use together. We were able 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 acing 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 also is 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.

"I am much clearer on what is stopping me in making progress with my goals. I had to dig deep to understand that. I am now more positive and less critical of myself. Still have more work to do on that. Getting to know myself better. so aware of how frustrated I am. this is not a bad thing. It is a motivator. I wants to stop being held back by it. A New positive thing for me. I have so much passion for so many things. Learnt how to make progress with goals. Need to do difficult things at the beginning of the day. Very clear what I am trying to achieve."
