Jess O’Connor is an ADHD coach, family coach and culture consultant who supports adults, families and young people to better understand themselves, embrace their differences and create lives that feel meaningful, fulfilling and genuinely their own.

With more than 30 years’ experience working with people, communication, culture and leadership, Jess brings a broad perspective to her coaching, combining professional expertise with her own lived experience of late-diagnosed ADHD and raising neurodivergent children. Her approach is warm, practical, curious, honest and fun.

Jess creates a supportive space to explore how your brain works, understand your strengths and needs, build confidence and self-trust, and find strategies that work with who you are rather than against you. She also works with organisations to help them better understand neurodiversity and create workplace cultures, communication and environments where different minds can contribute and thrive.

• Young people – identity, confidence, strengths, emotional regulation and finding direction.

• ADHD & executive function – procrastination, organisation, prioritising, routines and practical strategies.
