About Me
Warm, grounded support — shaped by both training and lived experience.
Areas of experience in counselling & neurodiversity coaching
For the moments that feel too heavy to carry alone.
Welcome! I’m Jane Woodward, a qualified Psychological Counsellor and ADHD/Neurodiversity Coach based in Zurich. My style is warm, intuitive, and collaborative – shaped by diverse experience in counselling, clinical audiology, research, corporate work, and 20 years of parenting and making a home in Switzerland. These perspectives help me connect with clients navigating:
Overwhelm, emotional wounds and distress
Grief, loss, or identity shifts
Cultural transitions and relocation
Neurodivergence in a neurotypical world
Parenting and schooling challenges
Hearing loss and other invisible differences
Many people come to counselling or coaching feeling unseen or unheard. My goal is to offer a calm, compassionate space where you feel understood — sometimes for the first time.
Outside the therapy room
Counsellor by profession, human by nature.
I’ve lived in Switzerland for over 20 years with my husband, our three teenagers, and our loyal rescue dog — who continue to teach me patience, resilience, humour, and flexibility. Like all families, ours comes with its own mix of gifts and challenges, and I bring that real-life understanding into my work.
I feel most grounded in nature — hiking with my family and friends, walking our dog through the forest and vineyards, or swimming in Lake Zurich. I also enjoy Pilates, singing in a local choir, being with loved ones, and dancing even when no one is watching.
