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.
