coaching approach
​​Jane is a coaching and occupational psychologist, working with individuals who want space to think, grow and navigate change with greater clarity and confidence.
​
In practice, this means you work with someone who brings strong psychological grounding, high ethical standards, and a flexible, integrative approach to coaching. Rather than following a fixed formula, Jane tailors each coaching relationship to your needs, working alongside you in a way that feels thoughtful, responsive and grounded.

​
A coach who understands complexity — professionally and personally
Jane’s work is informed not only by theory and practice, but by lived experience.
She brings together:
-
a deep belief in the power of personal development
-
a strong curiosity and appetite for learning
-
a creative, reflective way of working
Alongside this, Jane draws on her own experiences of:
-
setting up home in a new country
-
finding her professional identity later in life, with several career changes along the way
-
embracing being a little “different” from expectations
-
learning to value and work with her introversion
-
living with (rather than “overcoming”) imposter syndrome.
For clients, this often translates into working with someone who is empathetic, non-judgemental and comfortable with uncertainty, and who understands that growth is rarely linear or tidy.
There is no single “right way”
Jane is a strong believer that there is no 'one' correct path. Taking a less trodden or unexpected route can feel uncomfortable or unsettling in the short term — but can also be deeply rewarding.
Coaching provides a space to explore those choices thoughtfully, make sense of what matters to you, and move forward in a way that feels authentic rather than prescribed.
A psychologically informed approach — in service of your goals
Our work together is rooted in psychological principles. The following approaches may inform your coaching, always in service of what is most useful for you.
​
You may experience coaching that draws on:
​
Positive psychology
• helps you work with your strengths rather than constantly fixing perceived weaknesses
• supports energy, motivation and sustainable development
Gestalt approaches
• build self-awareness
• encourage experimentation
• help you distinguish between surface issues and what may really be going on
• particularly useful if you feel stuck or are going round in circles
The Thinking Environment
• provides space for high-quality thinking
• helps surface assumptions and self-limiting beliefs
• uses language as a route to greater clarity and focus
Cognitive behavioural coaching
• explores the links between thinking and behaviour
• helps you re-tune unhelpful patterns
• often leads to practical insight and meaningful breakthroughs
Transactional Analysis
• supports understanding of long-standing patterns and relational dynamics
• helps identify unhelpful stories or “baggage” — sometimes inherited rather than chosen
• creates space for more intentional ways of relating and responding.
