About me
Executive Coach - Birmingham
I’m an Executive Coaching and Occupational Psychologist with over 10 years of experience supporting leaders, founders, and senior professionals to navigate the pressures of leadership and perform at their best—without compromising wellbeing.
My clients are often highly driven individuals who care deeply about their work. They’re used to delivering results and carrying responsibility, but that success can come at a cost—whether it’s signs of burnout, difficult relationships at work, or a sense of disconnection from their values. I create a confidential, challenging, and compassionate space for reflection, helping clients reconnect to what matters, shift unhelpful patterns, and develop strategies that are sustainable for the long term.
With a background in organisational psychology, I bring both psychological depth and a systemic lens to my work. I’ve coached across sectors, including tech, education, engineering, construction, finance, SMEs, the public sector, and social enterprise, and I’m particularly passionate about supporting leaders who are navigating complexity, change, or personal transition. Alongside individual coaching, I also work with teams and organisations on culture change, leadership development, and burnout prevention.
Burnout is a particular area of specialisation. As someone who’s experienced burnout, I understand how it can creep in unnoticed—especially at senior levels where the expectations are relentless and the support can be scarce. I draw on evidence-based approaches to help individuals and organisations address burnout at multiple levels: personal. I work with leaders who want to recover, reset, and return to work with clarity and confidence—as well as those who want to prevent burnout for themselves or their teams.

I have been working with Jo since July 2024 as my ADHD coach. She has helped coach me through some very difficult life changes and supported me dramatically adapting my ways of working to best suit my individual needs. She has really helped me feel empowered and continuously work on bettering myself mentally, personally and professionally. I love her approach, the platform she uses to record my sessions, notes and actions has been so beneficial to come back to, and every session I come away with so much more. I have noticed a big difference in how I now work, my manager has also noted this and I think this has a large amount to do with Jo. She has taught me coping mechanisms, emotional regulation techniques, shared loads of tips and asks very valuable questions to get me to view things differently. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough. I am so pleased to still be working with Jo. L.R. HR Business Partner
