Jackie Whittingham is a neuroaffirmative coach supporting women who are navigating ADHD, particularly those who have received a diagnosis later in life or are beginning to recognise neurodivergent traits in themselves.
Whether you’re struggling with overwhelm, confidence, understanding your diagnosis or simply feeling that you’ve spent years trying to fit into a world that doesn’t quite work for you, Jackie provides a supportive, understanding space to explore your experiences and move forward with confidence.
Her approach isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about helping you better understand how your brain works, recognise your strengths and develop practical, personalised strategies that work for you.
Coaching for Individuals
Jackie offers a range of one-to-one and group coaching programmes designed to support women at different stages of their ADHD journey.
4-Week One-to-One ADHD Coaching Programme
Ideal for women who have recently received an ADHD diagnosis or are beginning to explore what being neurodivergent means for them.
This shorter programme provides the opportunity to make sense of your experiences, understand your ADHD and explore the impact of masking, often developed over many years to fit in with the expectations of others.
The focus is on self-understanding, acceptance and rediscovering who you are beneath the mask.
6-Month One-to-One Coaching Programme
For women looking for longer-term support, personal development and meaningful, sustainable change.
Working closely with Jackie, you’ll identify your individual goals, explore unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical tools and strategies tailored to your needs.
The programme focuses on building confidence, developing a more supportive mindset, managing everyday challenges and creating positive changes that last.
4-Week Group ADHD Coaching Programme
A structured, supportive programme bringing together small groups of women who have recently received an ADHD diagnosis.
Alongside developing a greater understanding of ADHD and how it affects you personally, group coaching offers the opportunity to share experiences, learn from others and connect with women who truly understand what you’re going through.
It’s about gaining knowledge, building confidence and finding a community where you can feel understood and supported.
Workplace Coaching & Corporate Workshops
Jackie is passionate about improving awareness and understanding of ADHD and neurodiversity in the workplace.
She works with businesses and organisations to help them better understand the challenges neurodivergent employees may face and, importantly, recognise the unique strengths and perspectives they bring.
Through corporate workshops, neurodiversity awareness sessions and individual employee coaching packages, Jackie helps organisations explore how relatively simple adjustments and a more inclusive approach can make a meaningful difference to employee confidence, wellbeing and performance.
Her aim is to help create workplaces where neurodivergent employees feel understood, supported and able to thrive.
Why Choose Jackie Whittingham Coaching?
Jackie takes a neuroaffirmative approach, recognising that neurodivergent brains work differently and that these differences should be understood and supported rather than treated as something that needs fixing.
She understands that ADHD can affect far more than concentration or organisation. It can influence emotions, confidence, relationships, self-esteem and the way we experience everyday life.
Her coaching is personalised, compassionate and focused on helping you work with your brain rather than constantly fighting against it.
Jackie also believes that finding the right coach is an important part of the process. Feeling comfortable, understood and supported is essential, which is why she offers a free introductory call to explore your needs and establish whether working together feels like the right fit.
If Jackie isn’t the right coach for you, that’s absolutely fine. Her priority is that you find someone who understands neurodiversity and can offer the support you need.
