Meet Your ADHD Coach
Hi, I'm OJ.
I'm the coach behind ADHD Delta® Coaching.
I work with adults with ADHD who often know what they need to do - but find that actually doing it can be surprisingly inconsistent.
Some days things flow. Other days, starting feels difficult, attention goes elsewhere, decisions become harder, overwhelm takes over, or a plan that made perfect sense yesterday suddenly doesn't seem to work.
My role isn't to hand you another system and tell you to try harder.
It's to help you slow things down, become curious about what's happening, and find practical ways forward that make sense for your brain, your circumstances and your life.
And yes - sometimes the smallest shift can make a surprisingly big difference.
Small shift. Different direction. That's the Delta Δ.
Why I Do This Work
I came to ADHD coaching with both professional curiosity and lived experience.
I know what it's like to be capable, thoughtful and genuinely committed to something - and still find that the path between knowing and doing isn't always straightforward.
That experience changed the questions I became interested in.
Instead of:
Why can't I just do this?
I became much more curious about:
What's happening here?
What is making this harder right now?
What am I trying to hold in my head?
What changed?
What would make this more workable?
Those questions sit at the heart of the way I coach today.
They also contributed to the development of the ADHD Delta® Concept - a way of understanding the changing conditions that can influence thinking, feeling and action, and the small shifts that can create a different direction.
Those shifts are what I call Delta Moments™.
My Coaching Style
If you're looking for someone to chase you about your to-do list, I'm probably not that coach.
Coaching with me is collaborative, curious and practical.
I'll ask questions - sometimes quite a few of them - because understanding why something isn't working can be more useful than immediately reaching for another strategy.
We might unpack a moment that didn't go as planned, notice a pattern you've never connected before, question an assumption, simplify something that has become unnecessarily complicated, or experiment with a completely different approach.
Sometimes we'll find a practical strategy.
Sometimes the useful shift is understanding the problem differently.
And sometimes you'll arrive saying one thing is the problem and discover halfway through the conversation that something else is actually creating the friction.
That's part of the work.
You won't be expected to perform ADHD coaching perfectly, complete homework to prove you're trying, or make progress in a straight line.
The aim is to create a space where you can think, reflect, experiment and develop approaches that genuinely work for you.
The Way I Think About ADHD Coaching
I don't believe good ADHD coaching is about turning someone into a more efficient version of everybody else.
It's about understanding the person in front of me.
ADHD can affect everyday functioning in interconnected ways. Starting can be tied to overwhelm. Decision-making can be affected by too many competing demands. Emotional pressure can make clear thinking harder. A change in routine can disrupt something that previously worked beautifully.
That's why my coaching isn't built around one universal ADHD system.
Instead, we look at your patterns, your context and the conditions surrounding the moments that are difficult for you.
My ADHD Delta® coaching lens is:
Regulation → Access → Direction
It helps guide our curiosity:
What's happening?
What feels harder to access here?
What small shift might create a different direction?
It's a lens, not a formula.
And you don't need to understand any of it before coming to coaching. That's my job, not yours.
A Little About My Background
Before becoming an ADHD coach, my professional life was already centred around understanding complex systems, identifying what was happening beneath the surface and making complicated information more workable.
Apparently, I have a type. 😄
My background includes two Master's degrees from the University of Melbourne:
Master of Engineering Management
Master of Environmental Engineering
My ADHD-specific coaching training includes:
Advanced-Certified ADHD Life Coach (A-CALC)
[ICF Level 2 Training - International ADHD Coach Training Center, USA]
Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
[International Coaching Federation (ICF)]
I'm also a member of:
International Coaching Federation (ICF)
ADHD Coaches Organization (ACO)
Australasian ADHD Professionals Association (AADPA)
And I hold current:
Working With Children Checks - Victoria and New South Wales
My training matters to me.
So does lived experience.
But neither replaces listening carefully to the individual sitting in front of me.
Who I Work With
I primarily coach adults with ADHD.
People come to coaching for all sorts of reasons, but common themes include:
knowing what needs to be done but struggling to translate that into action
starting and follow-through
overwhelm and cognitive load
planning, prioritising and decision-making
focus and working-memory demands
emotional regulation
adapting when routines or circumstances change
restarting after momentum has disappeared
trying to build systems that work in real life, not just on paper.
You don't need to fit neatly into one of these categories.
Coaching starts with what's happening for you.
ADHD Coaching Is Not Therapy
ADHD coaching is practical, collaborative and forward-focused.
It can sit alongside medical, psychological and other professional support, but it doesn't diagnose or treat ADHD or mental health conditions and isn't a replacement for clinical care.
If something falls outside my scope as a coach, I'll be open about that.
Is My Approach Right for You?
Choosing a coach is personal.
Qualifications and frameworks matter, but so does whether you feel comfortable talking to the person sitting on the other side of the screen.
That's why the first step is simply a conversation.
The complimentary 20-minute discovery call gives you a chance to tell me a little about what's happening, ask questions about my approach and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
You don't need to know exactly what you need before you book.
Let's start with a conversation.
Location
I'm based in Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
All coaching appointments are online, so location doesn't need to be a barrier to working together.

“With Ojonoka, the room feels brighter and braver at once.”
“Her easy humor loosens the knots, and her heart-led presence invites honesty without pressure. You can feel that every cell of her being is here to help. She listens fully, then asks questions that land softly but reach deep. I found language for things I’d avoided, chose my own next steps, and kept those promises because they were truly mine. I leave our sessions lighter in spirit and clearer in direction, and I feel genuinely supported not directed. I recommend Ojonoka with gratitude.”

“My coaching experience with OJ, at ADHD Delta Coaching was a game-changer for me.”
“OJ was incredibly supportive and asked just the right questions—the kind that made me pause and really reflect. That deep thinking helped me figure out what actually works for me, instead of trying to force systems that never stuck. Now, I have an organization system that finally feels natural and sustainable because it’s built around how my brain works. I can’t thank her enough for her guidance!”
