Our sessions with Jacqui have been incredibly helpful. She helped us—and our daughter—understand ADHD and how it affects her daily life. We’ve learned practical strategies for home routines and for advocating at school, and we all feel more confident and equipped to support our daughter | Casey

Jacqui is an exceptional ADHD coach and social worker with a truly unique ability to connect deeply with everyone she meets. She brings genuine understanding of both the challenges and the strengths that come with ADHD, and offers guidance that feels grounded, compassionate, and incredibly practical. Her extensive knowledge is matched by her empathy and her constant desire to learn and grow alongside the people she supports. Jacqui practices in a warm, non-judgemental way that makes navigating ADHD feel less overwhelming and far more hopeful | Emily


As a family we have enjoyed working with Jacqui in supporting our daughter. Jacqui ran flexible sessions, working with different family members at different times as this worked well for us. She provided a supportive environment where we could all share what was going on for us. Jacqui supported us with an understanding of the challenges we were all facing, a shared language to discuss these, and tools to support us moving forward. She is calm, caring and a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for your help Jacqui – Tony

We were incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Jacqui Johnson share her knowledge and deeply personal journey with ADHD with our Year 12 Mana Wahine students. Dr. Jacqui’s approach was truly exceptional – it was genuine, heartfelt, and refreshingly real, punctuated by moments of humour that resonated deeply with the students. This sincerity made her presentation not just informative, but profoundly moving. The impact was immediate and personal. Following her talk, many students approached me privately, eager to share how much they could identify with what she presented, whether recognizing traits in themselves or in a close friend or family member. Dr. Jacqui provided a powerful, transformative shift in perspective. Her message, the switch from thinking “My ADHD brain is broken” to embracing the idea that “My ADHD brain is special”, was an absolute game-changer. Dr. Jacqui Johnson is a true inspiration to our young people and is doing vital work in destigmatizing ADHD in the wider community. We highly recommend her presentation and look forward to welcoming her back in the future | Kate

We began working with Jacqui because we were struggling with our child’s challenging behaviour at home. Through weekly sessions, she helped our whānau identify the underlying behaviours and patterns. With her guidance, we were able to implement new strategies, reflect on them, and grow as a whānau. Jacqui truly understood our son and explained his behaviours in a way that helped us support him more effectively. Her practical tools and approaches strengthened our connection and improved those challenging moments. We are incredibly grateful for Jacqui’s support and highly recommend her to any family needing help. Our house is forever changed because of Jacqui | Kris
