Working with Janine gave us the ADHD guidance we had been looking for. We didn’t need another sticker chart or another person telling us to stay calm. We needed someone who understood ADHD, executive function, emotional regulation and the reality of parenting a child who holds it together at school and falls apart at home.
Janine helped us spot the triggers, reduce the daily battles and respond differently when things started to escalate. Family life is not perfect whose is? but it is calmer, clearer and far less shouty. We finally feel like we know what we are doing.

Before we found Janine, family life felt like a constant battle. Our child’s ADHD meant every transition was hard getting dressed, leaving the house, starting homework, switching off screens and going to bed. We were exhausted, and honestly, we felt as if we were getting parenting wrong.
Janine helped us understand ADHD, executive function and emotional regulation in a way that finally made sense. She gave us practical parent strategies that fitted our child, not some imaginary child from a parenting book. We now have clearer routines, better school communication and a calmer home. We still have tricky days, but we don’t feel helpless anymore.

Sibling rivalry in our house was on another level. It wasn’t just normal bickering — it was shouting, winding each other up, emotional explosions and everyone ending up upset. I felt like I was constantly refereeing, separating children and wondering how things could go from fine to chaos so quickly.
Janine helped me understand what was driving it: ADHD, emotional regulation, impulsivity, jealousy, fairness, overwhelm and the pressure of family life. She listened without judging and helped us all see that everyone in the house needed support — not just the one who was exploding loudest.
Her guidance gave me practical strategies for reducing conflict, handling sibling arguments and helping both children feel heard. Family life is still busy, but it feels calmer, fairer and much less like living inside a low-budget wrestling match.
