About Me

Image of Coach Janet Smith-Harrison

I’m a trauma informed coach, trainer, and emotional mastery expert. I’m also a mother, grandmother, wife and friend – all these roles shape who I am, and each one matters deeply to me.

I’m a lifelong learner, guided by people, places and passions. Some of my most valuable lessons have come from formal training – others straight from the heart.

Along the way, I’ve faced challenges and celebrated milestones that have shaped how I see the world and strengthened my resilience.

I bring all of this – my professional skills, deep compassion, and lived experience – into the work I do. Together, we’ll create a space for a meaningful, lasting change.

I was invited to share my story with Rachel Smith on her podcast ‘The Lessons from Loss’. Rachel explores the experience of loss and the lessons learned, which in turn shape, define and guide the lives of her guests. Click here if you would like to listen to the episode and learn more about me:

Testimonials

 

Having Janet as a coach came at a time where I needed it the most and it has been one of the most life changing points in my life to date. I felt a lack of confidence when making decisions, a lack of clarity within my work and a feeling that I just didn’t know who I was anymore. Over the course of twelve weeks, Janet worked with me to unpick the areas that were the most important to me to focus on and this is where my journey really started. With the support, knowledge and guidance from Janet we worked through barriers which gave me clarity in not only understanding the steps I wanted to take but the confidence to trust and believe in myself in taking action. As a coach, Janet is knowledgeable, honest and truly cares about her clients and supporting them to achieve their goals and step back into their power!

Janet is a truly amazing coach who has made a real difference to my life! During our sessions, she reflected back the things I said, in ways that were eye-opening to me. With her by my side, I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel by better understanding myself and what I needed to do to achieve positive change within myself and in my environment. The things that Janet helped me put into place are solid, long lasting tools to work with, that go way beyond our coaching time together. They will be there for years to come! Thank you so much for going above and beyond to help me make my life better.

When I started working with Janet, I was going through a really tough time. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the coaching, I just knew I needed help. Janet was brilliant. She was kind and supportive and has a real talent for making complicated issues easy to understand. Instead of just following a set plan, she helped me in a way that suited me best.

Janet gave me great tools and ideas that helped me figure out what to do next. Talking with her gave me the confidence to make big decisions and start working towards what I wanted to achieve. Even though we’ve finished our coaching sessions, I feel like she’s still there for me if I need help. I’m really thankful for everything she’s done.

Testimonials

 

As someone highly sceptical of ADHD Coaching, I was extremely fortunate to be matched with Janet, who not only understands my ADHD traits, but also my complexities as an individual.

I sought Janet’s coaching services towards the beginning of 2023, amid a lengthy period of debilitating ADHD traits and declining mental health. Janet’s intuitive approach has equipped and empowered me with self-knowledge, self-acceptance, and validation, inaccessible through any textbook ADHD strategy.

With compassion and accountability, Janet addresses the emotional dysregulation and cognitive disorganisation behind my most taxing ADHD challenges which, with time and hard work, has transformed my ability to manage the daily impact of ADHD.

I have discovered triggers I didn’t know exist and cultivated an authentic appreciation for my limits and boundaries. I find Janet’s ‘transition tricks’ invaluable for breaking excruciating bouts of ADHD paralysis. Furthermore, with Janet’s support, I have learnt to better “ride the waves” when priorities inevitably shift, preventing hopelessness and overwhelm.

Janet has a gift for comprehending clients’ individual needs, amid their diagnosis and I unequivocally recommend her guidance for realising one’s potential – not despite ADHD, but harnessing ADHD’s strengths.
