I’m Jess, and I help purpose-led people and organisations do their most meaningful, impactful and joyful work, through coaching, consulting and training.

As a Leadership and Career Coach, I work one-to-one with people to help them achieve their most important work-related goals. I am an Associate Coach for the UK Civil Service (via EY), and for BetterUp, and I also support people in the digital technology sector through FourthRev’s Career Accelerators. As an ICF-accredited coach (ICF-ACC), I fulfil and work to the ICF’s professional standards and ethical guidelines.

My coaching style is open, non-judgemental and evidence-based. It’s also person-centred, which means I believe my clients have all the answers they need – it’s my job to help them bring them to the surface, make sense of them and find a way forward. I use positive psychology models and cognitive behavioural techniques where appropriate to explore thoughts, feelings and actions – and I always seek the right balance between support and challenge to help my clients achieve the most growth and value from the experience.

I also support organisations through the design and facilitation of workshops, group coaching and training sessions on a range of topics, bringing together my professional experience, academic knowledge, and my group facilitation skills. Areas of expertise include: leading teams, flourishing organisations, resilience and wellbeing, leading change, having coaching conversations, feedback, strengths, and finding more meaning in work.

Outside of work, I am a mum, wife, friend and wear lots of other hats as well. I love learning, and have recently completed an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, including a research project into meaningful work and stress. I love travelling, holidays and day-trips; seeing family and friends; cooking and eating out; yoga and running; and going to stand-up comedy, music gigs and festivals.
