Helping neurodivergent professionals and organisations achieve sustainable performance at work
Sustainable performance starts with working differently.
I’m a neurodiversity coach in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.
I help neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, dyslexic) professionals in corporate roles build ways of working that fit how their brain works so they can meet expectations more consistently, without overwhelm or burnout.
I also help organisations create workplaces where neurodivergent talent can perform at their best.
How can I help?
Whether you’re struggling to keep up at work or looking to help your employees perform more consistently, there are practical ways forward.
For individuals
Coaching for neurodivergent professionals
You know you’re capable, but getting started, managing competing priorities, meeting deadlines or keeping up with expectations takes more effort than it should.
Coaching helps you understand what’s getting in the way and develop practical ways of working that fit you so you can perform more consistently without constantly pushing yourself harder.
For organisations
Individual coaching for employees
When a capable employee is struggling to meet expectations consistently, the answer isn’t necessarily to ask them to try harder.
One-to-one coaching helps employees understand their challenges, develop effective strategies and find ways to work more consistently and independently.
The aim is to improve performance while maintaining the expectations of the role.
Workplace neurodiversity training
Practical training helps managers understand how neurodivergence can affect workplace performance – and what they can do about it.
Managers learn to recognise potential barriers, communicate expectations clearly and manage performance more effectively.
The aim is to improve productivity, strengthen management capability and retain valuable employees.
Being capable doesn’t always mean work feels manageable.
You can be experienced, intelligent and good at what you do and still struggle to keep up.
Perhaps you spend hours on a task that should be straightforward. You struggle to decide what to tackle first. Deadlines creep up, emails go unanswered, or your performance varies depending on the demands of the day.
For organisations, those same challenges can show up as missed deadlines, inconsistent output, repeated misunderstandings, rework or managers spending too much time chasing progress.
These difficulties don’t automatically mean someone lacks ability, commitment or potential.
Sometimes the way work is structured, communicated or managed creates barriers that make it harder for capability to translate into consistent performance.
Understanding what’s getting in the way is the first step towards changing it.
For individuals: Find a way of working that works for you.
You don’t need another list of productivity tips or to keep trying strategies that work for everyone else but not for you.
Through my Excel As Yourself coaching programme, we’ll explore what’s making work difficult, understand your individual patterns and develop practical approaches that fit how you think, work and manage demands.
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to work with me.
For organisations: Better understanding. More consistent performance.
When an employee isn’t performing as expected, it’s easy to focus on the problem: the missed deadline, the lack of updates, the work that needs redoing.
I help organisations understand how neurodivergence can affect performance and help them identify practical ways to support capable employees to work more effectively – without lowering expectations.
There are two ways we can work together:
Individual employee coaching
I provide one-to-one coaching for employees who are struggling with aspects of their work despite having the skills and capability to do their jobs well.
Together, we explore what’s getting in the way and develop practical strategies to improve consistency, independence and day-to-day performance, benefitting overall organisational targets.
Workplace neurodiversity training
I provide practical training for managers, teams and organisations that want to understand neurodivergence in the workplace and manage its impact on performance.
Managers learn how to recognise potential barriers, make expectations clearer and respond more effectively when an employee is struggling, benefitting workplace culture and performance management.
Practical support, grounded in understanding.
I work with neurodivergent professionals and organisations to understand what’s really happening when work isn’t going as it should and to find practical ways forward.
My approach isn’t about fitting everyone into the same system or lowering the bar for performance.
It’s about understanding the person, the work and the barriers between them.
Whether I’m coaching an individual or working with an organisation, the focus is on meaningful, practical changes that help people do their jobs more effectively.
ADHD, autism and dyslexia can all affect how people experience work, but no two people are the same. You don’t need a diagnosis to explore coaching with me, and organisations don’t need to have all the answers before starting a conversation.
I’m based in Berkhamsted and cover the surrounding areas.
Why does work feel so hard, even when you’re capable?
If you’re constantly working harder than it seems you should need to, start by understanding why.
My free guide explores why work can feel disproportionately difficult even when you have the ability to do it well.

Let’s work out what’s getting in the way.
Whether you’re struggling to manage work yourself or trying to help someone in your organisation perform more consistently, you don’t have to start with all the answers.
Let’s talk about what’s happening and explore what might help.
What some of my clients said:
I started coaching with Jana during a major transition period in my life, when everything felt uncertain, and I was struggling to organise myself and adjust to a new routine and environment (made more difficult by my autism). Through our sessions, I’ve gained clarity, structure, and a real sense of stability – with Jana’s support helping me feel both organised and settled again.
I’d describe her coaching as a grounding experience that helps people reorient themselves and move forward with confidence. Jana’s attentive approach and thoughtful guidance have made a genuine difference, giving me the space and direction I needed to navigate change more smoothly.

With Jana’s knowledge and guidance, my constant struggles as a ‘grown-up’ ADHDer (dealing with emails, task avoidance, time management, prioritising workloads, complete, general overwhelm…) have shifted from relentless uphill battles to manageable.
Jana ‘gets’ how neurodivergent minds work and didn’t try to change how I think. Instead she enabled me to discover why I think the way I do and how to maximise achievement based on my unique skill set. In a short space of time, I’ve transformed from despairing of my inability to ‘adult’ to believing that I can do it.
But the real win has been my improved self-worth and a new ability to recognise my own strengths. I would highly recommend working with Jana.
