Career & Personal Development Coaching

See your bigger picture, identify the right opportunities, and take the steps to achieving your goals and long-lasting wellbeing.

speech marksI’m so grateful for those conversations.”

Sally Ward

Artist and Civil Servant

Dealing with a problem you can’t solve yourself can leave you feeling trapped, either paralysed by constraints or overwhelmed by everything.

The search for help can take you down endless rabbit holes that don’t always give you the answers you’re looking for.

Coaching gives you a safe place to reflect and explore your options.

By protecting your coaching time each week, or each month, you’ll be able to get on with life knowing you’re giving yourself time to take care of the important things.

What was exciting was that I could immediately see that Julia was going to open my mind to the possibilities around my career and stop me being close-minded.”

I take a holistic approach to coaching that will help you, or your team, with achievable solutions that lead to long-lasting change and a happier, more fulfilled life.

The format of our coaching sessions will depend on your unique situation, and respond to your individual needs.
We’ll take a step back and look at the bigger picture to understand what’s within your control and what isn’t. Then we’ll:

Pinpoint the barriers blocking your progress and find ways to unlock them

Highlight your values, your passions and what you’re good at so that we can:

Identify your goals, and create a path to help you achieve them.

By recognising your current comfort levels, we’ll look at where we can test them in a way that feels exciting, yet comfortable for you.

speech marksJulia has really helped me start to think about my future. She very quickly realised that I enjoyed my previous leadership roles, and this is most likely the cause of my current dissatisfaction. She has made me see that actually this is probably what I need in future, somewhere I have a voice and my ideas are listened to, rather than what I thought I needed which was less responsibility and a markedly reduced workload to cope. A pretty transformative half hour! I am very grateful to her and look forward to my next session.”
