Working 1:1 with me is a blend of coaching, mentoring, and thinking partnership — we work out together what combination suits you best. Sessions can be in person, online, on a walk or in greener spaces. Wherever you feel like you can think.
I work with people who want to feel more supported in working out what matters to them — and how that could show up more in how they’re living and working. That might mean navigating a stuck place, finding more confidence in sharing yourself with the world, developing a creative practice, or simply having someone in your corner who pays close attention and asks good questions.
I particularly love working with people who are open to using creative tools as part of our sessions — drawing, making, walking, breathing, pausing — alongside talking. You don’t need to think of yourself as creative for any of this to be useful.
How I work: I’ll slow down with you and pay attention to what’s beneath the surface. You’ll get care and curiosity alongside honest reflection and gentle challenge. We can have goals, but we’ll stay open to what else shows up along the way. I’ll always be honest about how our sessions are going, and I adapt based on what’s working for you.
I offer a free 30-minute conversation so we can get a sense of whether working together feels right. Sessions are £60 per hour for individuals paying for themselves. I keep a small number of spots each year for people who can’t meet that rate — just let me know.
What people have said:
“I like your quirkiness, your honesty, the purity in which you get to the point — and also your drawings and the way you engage so gently with people and their ‘thing’. Your coaching style is gentle, kind, and exploratory. You are also a deep thinker, which can be useful for clients who are ready to go there.” — KT, coaching client
“Jo is a fantastic mentor — consistent, compassionate and knowledgeable. I always come away from a session with a fresh perspective and feel inspired. She has been instrumental in helping me remove artistic blocks and stay mindful within my practice.” — HS, mentoring client
