Talk to TransformMy coaching business
Coaching may be defined as ‘partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential’ (ICF 2023 ICF.org). 'Talk to transform'- by talking through your goals, limiting beliefs may be identified, as well as motivating or demotivating factors. We will work through these together to create a plan of action for change to be your best self.

How it works
- Use the link below or here to book a free introductory session with me.
- The introductory session will give us a chance to get to know each other. I will tell you a bit about me and how coaching works. We can then discuss your goal and timeline to achieve it. If we both feel we can work together then you can book the first coaching session via the same link above. I am happy to discuss alternative payment plans for NHS workers, students and low income households.
- We will establish a SMART goal (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time bound) so we are both clear on the outcome you want to achieve. Don't worry this isn't a contract, it can often change over time, once we start to discuss barriers, enablers and levels of motivation.
- People usually have a round 6 sessions to achieve their goal but frequency and time between sessions is driven by you.
- I will check in at the start of every session to identify the levels of support or challenge required on that particular day. I will also provide feedback and regularly check in on our progress, what we may want to do more of, stop, or do differently.
- During our sessions we will discuss sustainability so that changes you make can continue after our sessions have finished.
- Toward the end of our sessions we will summarise, identify if a ‘check in’’ session is required in the future to measure sustainability.
- Finally I will request feedback from you to ensure I am continuously learning and improving.
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU
Identify your goals & achieve them
After I help you discover what you want, we'll work together to find the very best way of achieving it.
My clients say
My sessions with Jennie were my first experience with coaching. Jennie was very professional throughout the sessions, but more than that, she is very kind and is a fantastic communicator. She asked probing questions which made me reflect on my goals that we were working towards. As a result of the coaching I feel much more confident in different situations at work. Sherryl Senior Physiotherapist
“I work in the NHS as a Clinical Lead and I am a mother of three young boys. I have worked with Jennie as my Coach for about an year and I highly recommend her.
After working with Jennie, I was able to clearly articulate a vision for my personal and professional life and define my priorities to achieve a better work/life balance, which was having a significant impact on other aspects of my life. Jennie's techniques and and practical tools helped me to tackle specific challenges whilst keeping in mind my goals. We set objectives for what I wanted to achieve, identified my values, tackled work/life issues and explored future career ideas. But, more importantly, I gained self-confidence. I highly recommend Jennie: she has an excellent professional manner, exceptional communication skills and knowledge. Thank you for everything.
Norma Barbosa- Senior Nurse/Midwife
"Jennie is a wonderful coach and has helped me greatly throughout my first coaching experience. I am completing a leadership fellowship and considering next steps in my career and navigating difficult working relationships, and Jennie's kind and empathetic approach has developed my confidence and changed my perspective to be able to tackle these issues. I am so grateful to her for this! If you have never had coaching and were thinking about it, go for it, you will not regret."
Kelsie - Clinical fellow
“Jennie was my first experience of professional coaching and I was really impressed. She helped me identify tangible goals, reflected options back at me and used probing questioning techniques to help me talk through my approach. I worked with Jennie to prepare for a job interview and was successful, so I'd say the result speaks for itself!"

Me in my happy place on the water
Cayuga Duck
I am a water baby I love to swim, scuba dive, sail, kayak and look at the water.
I also love animals, especially aquatic birds: they can walk, swim, dive, fly, some migrate, they look kind of happy and I think they're beautiful. They can do it all and see the world from different perspectives just like we seek to achieve via coaching!
Cayuga People of the Wetlands
The Cayuga duck and the Cayuga people are native to the New York Area of America. I didn't know this tribe existed until I googled, and then discovered they lived on the lake/wetlands just like me!
