Terri Donohue
Terri is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with over 3,000 hours of coaching experience and a credential in Neuro-Inclusive Systems Design from the University of British Columbia. She specializes in supporting adults with ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, executive functioning challenges, and learning differences, as well as neurodivergent executives and senior leaders navigating team building.
Her trauma-informed, inclusive approach centres on mental well-being — emotional regulation, stress and anxiety management, and navigating transitions and challenges through mind, body, and purpose-driven strategies. Before transitioning to coaching, Terri spent 23 years as an Emmy-nominated makeup artist in the entertainment industry, where she developed strengths in creative innovation and collaborative partnership. Her neuroscience-based philosophy is simple: no two brains are alike. She empowers clients to embrace their authenticity and build lives and workplaces where their minds can truly thrive.
Terri is a podcast host and life and leadership coach who partners with organizations on inclusive education and neuro-inclusive workplace well-being, maintains a private ADHD coaching practice, and serves as an ICF mentor coach supervisor.
Terri is motivated by her lived experience and her commitment to upholding dignity — supporting individuals to embrace their authenticity while creating environments where neurodivergent people can flourish.
Terri is like a pianist performing a piano concerto — her expertise and lived experience create the container, but the audience’s energy shapes what emerges, moving through captivating highs and lows that shift something within each person and spark connection between them as they partake in transformation.
