Jayne Cox

Thank you for visiting my profile.

I'm Jayne, an EMCC-accredited coach and a specialist Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) practitioner, working with SSP since 2019. My work focuses on the nervous system and how safety, connection and therapeutic listening can help shift patterns of stress, anxiety and trauma.

I have developed a neuro-affirming and holistic/integrative approach called SSP Together™, designed for sensitive nervous systems, including late diagnosed AuDHD women.  My work focuses on relational nervous system safety, addressing the physiological roots of dysregulation rather than trying to manage symptoms through talking alone.

I live in Northumberland, working online with women who identify or are diagnosed as AuDHD, and adults with a history of trauma, stress, anxiety or nervous system sensitivities, often at midlife plus.

If  you feel overwhelmed in ways that are difficult to explain, but deeply felt, I understand. 

I bring almost three decades of professional experience working with complex issues, alongside lived experience of late diagnosed AuDHD, C-PTSD and complex childhood trauma. Clients often tell me that this matters to them, because they feel understood without needing to explain every detail of what they are experiencing.

My work combines coaching with the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a listening-based intervention developed by Dr Stephen Porges, the scientist behind Polyvagal Theory. My SSP Together approach can help your nervous system regain flexibility and a sense of safety and connection.

Our work together focuses on pacing and co-regulation. Change happens gradually, in ways that feel safe for the nervous system. Nothing is forced or rushed. I often describe this as a “just enough” approach,  not too little, not too much. 

I include nervous system training, deep understanding, to help you make sense of your body and brain responses, developing tools and knowledge to carry with you into the rest of your life.

I work with adults who are:

• Living with the effects of trauma, anxiety or chronic stress
• Neurodivergent or highly sensitive
• Feeling exhausted from years of coping or adapting for others
• Ready to explore what feeling safe in their own nervous system might be like

I work with women who are:

•  Preparing for assessment or who newly identify or are diagnosed AuDHD

Our sessions will focus on feeling safe enough to move forward into this new phase of life. My intention to support and truly listen, meeting you where you are with kindness and compassion.

I look forward to connecting, when you are ready.

Kindest,

Jayne

A selection of Testimonials

SSP

If you're at all in two minds whether this is for you I implore you to take the chance & go for it.

I think the beauty of this protocol is its simplicity, but I also understand thinking that it might be too simple & that it might be too left-field to do a thing because it's exactly what I thought before giving it ago, but you know what? It's changed my life and noticeable differences were instant.

The feeling I've been carrying for some years now, a constant nervous anxious hyper-alert state from the minute I woke up that came with me through every minute of every day dissipated as the week went on. The time & space I gave to the process made me know that fundamentally I was safe & secure.

I feel like I don't have to worry about whether I can face the day, I can roll better with whatever the day holds and I feel like time isn't waiting on me. I feel I am lead by my emotions not overwhelmed by them anymore. Rachael Nov 2019 ( I am happy to speak to prospective clients about it too!)

SSP

I found the whole process of doing the SSP easy and felt very well supported by you throughout. The hardest part was actually being open-minded enough to give it a try, even though I knew the science made sense.

I don’t really know what I was expecting to change as a result of doing the SSP but I have noticed many positive effects. I feel calmer now in a way that’s hard to describe and seem able to think more clearly. I have noticed that my thoughts aren’t so negative and I feel less tired.

I feel it’s been hugely valuable in my ongoing work of taking care of mental health and managing my responses to triggers and stress. Charlotte Nov 2019

SSP

In all honesty, I was a little sceptical about the SSP but willing to complete the programme and see what happened.

The trickiest part on days one and two was doing nothing and noticing how strange the filtered music sounded. Being so quiet is certainly odd but by day 3 I was keen to complete the challenge.

Whilst I didn’t notice an instant calmness, over the course of the following weeks since its completion I found I could focus more and remain calm in challenging situations.

In short, it’s easier to not sweat the small stuff now, so the benefits are positively affecting me directly, my relationships and my business. Michael Oct 2019

"Creeping up behind me was a wave that would overwhelm my state of mind, I knew I would lose control over my own life - an eating disorder was one manifestation - and depression would follow. With Jayne's help, I have learned what it was - the underlying problem. For me it was largely loneliness, starting from the distance from family and from being largely alone when raising young children. The patterns remained – many self-perpetuated - and I didn't realise how much it was hurting me. It was truly wonderful talking to Jayne whom I found to be a gifted, mature and very experienced guide out of the wilderness. I feel blessed our paths met. Clarity has been so empowering for me and I am now in control and every day I feel stronger. And when life happens, and storms brew, I know what to do to protect myself."

"I wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you did and have helped me to achieve. Through your help and support, I have managed things I would never have dreamt of doing and my life is totally different and I am so much happier! The main reason for my email was to tell you the girl who was too scared to ever go for a coffee on her own is going travelling on her own, halfway around the world!!!!! I would be lying if I said I was not scared, I am terrified and excited but also so proud of myself and feel I owe so much to you and the amazing work you do.

"Thank you again for everything Jayne words cannot express how grateful I am to you.  You have enabled me to turn my life around!!!" R

"I honestly don't believe I'd be here if it weren't for you! 'Thank you' is not nearly enough" KN

"I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work that you did with Susan. She is now so much more confident and able to cope with so much more than she did a year to 18 months ago. I wish you all the best with the work that you're doing with everyone else. There are many professionals out there who could benefit a lot from listening to you. I wish you success and happiness and again, thank you so very much." P B

"Your help, kindness and support has been vital in helping me begin the road to a brighter future. The advice and life coaching has given me the tools and confidence to explore difficult issues and made me look to the future rather than live in a past of regrets. Thank you." C.S

"Jayne naturally made me feel comfortable, enabling me to successfully remove barriers that were holding me back. She is very professional and offers that extra special element of holistic support that I have not found elsewhere. I highly recommend Jayne as a coach to you. Thank you Jayne. :-)" K.C.

"You have been a tower of strength to me on many occasions and keep me going on my way to recovery" B

"Just wanted to thank you for the Coaching that you have given me over the past six months. I've come a long way, with your motivation and strategies!" A P

I just wanted to let you know what a difference coaching has made to my life and to my career. I’ll be back to explore my next steps. Thank You. JP

I’m not sure where I’d be if I hadn’t asked for your professional coaching. It’s empowering to not surrender yourself to someone but to be part of the process of change. I now know how capable I am, I have my own mind fit kit and I am using it. My new business is about to launch, thank you! EW

You were there when I felt so very lost. You patiently helped me see my possibilities. If anyone wanted to make a small or large life change, I’d suggest they speak to you first. JS

Jayne brought clarity and focus back to my life and I enjoyed working with her in a very peaceful environment; she is very perceptive and calming and very creative. My time spent with Jayne gave me the chance to stop and think about my values and what is important to me, what really matters and to make a positive change to my life. PJ
