About me

Executive Coach & Coach Supervisor - London, South-East and South West


I am passionate about supporting people grow and develop as I fundamentally believe that we can achieve whatever we want too if we choose to do so. This is what led me to be an Executive Coach and more recently a Coaching Supervisor. I have a deep interest in self-awareness and how it helps us develop and grow, by enabling firstly self-connection and then connection with others. This approach is underpinned by my PhD research into Self-Awareness.

I have worked with a diverse range of senior leaders, middle-managers, and future leaders in both the Public and Private Sectors. My core values of competence, authenticity and choice underpin my work. I pride myself on the ability to build strong rapport and empathy with my clients and I ensure, before taking on an assignment, that all parties are content, comfortable, and clear with the relationship.

My coaching approach is developmental in nature and I work with the whole person whilst holding an awareness of the systems they are working and living within.

Alongside my coaching and supervision practice I am a visiting tutor at Henley Business School teaching on the Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching, MSc in Executive Coaching and Behavioural Change and head up the Professional Certificate in Coaching Supervision.

My own development journey is ongoing, and I am passionate about my own CPD so invest in regular coaching supervision (both individual and group) and keep up to date with a range of webinars. I believe continual work on self keeps me at my best for my work. In my spare time, I value spending time with my family, and supporting my son in is burgeoning eventing career.

Julia has been exceptional in providing our senior leaders with independent coaching. It has given them the freedom and confidence to express their ambitions, hopes and fears, finding a path to greater performance through her guidance. The feedback from them has been overwhelmingly positive.

Julia is a fantastic Strategic Coach and I would highly recommend her. She is kind, empathetic, and delivers this with the right level of challenge to support personal growth. She builds trust and support and is highly credible and experienced. Julia has been integral in my development as a Strategic Director, and as a leader to find my own inner strength and confidence.

Julia has coached me over a period of 7 years throughout roles in 2 organisations. She has been instrumental in my learning journey through a complex and challenging world, helping to unpick and question the layers in myself that I did not realise existed, guiding me to my own realisations and changes. She has made a tangible positive difference to my life and I rate her highly. She is compassionate, a good listener, curious, challenging, knowledgeable and wise.

Julia has been my supervisor for the last 2 years and I can genuinely say that every session has been immensely valuable for both me and ultimately my clients. Julia creates a safe space for reflection, challenging and yet supportive. I have no hesitation in recommending Julia as a supervisor.

Julia's supervision on supervision sessions are a time to reflect, do some good thinking, work with the wonderful wisdom of the group, but mostly to be held in a space by Julia that is safe, challenging, experienced, has humour and a groundedness in it, but most of all humility and her wonderful and wise self-awareness. I look forward to them throughout the year - so much so I went to Julia with a group already formed we wanted to work with her so much! I have worked with many supervisors over the years - I can't recommend Julia highly enough. Supervision on supervision is sometimes a tough gig to hold - the lens on the lens - and the lens on ourselves as we hold up the lens on our supervisees. Julia has unbelievable knowledge, a masterful and human way around things, and holds structure and in the moment flexibilty at the same time. She is willing to go to the edge with us all and stretch and grow in service of us and the supervisees that we bring. The work that she has done and continues to do on self-awareness, on her own self-awareness and therefore what she brings to us as a group, and as individuals is deep, wise, and so very much appreciated. If you want a supervisor, as a supervisor myself, I would recommend Julia any day. She will be honest with you, be warm, be stretching and be very very human.

I’ve have the absolute pleasure and at the same time been so fortunate to have Julia as my Executive Coach over many years now in a few different capacities. I can’t thank Julia enough for her help in elevating my career in so many different ways. Julia has given me confidence, guidance and the self belief to be better and do better. With Julia’s help I have now been functioning at the highest capacity at any time in my working and professional life and have gone on to be consistently one of the Top Sales people within the organisation I work for, not just this year but for many years. I was so inspired by Julia’s ability and skill set that under her encouragement I also started my Executive Coaching Journey. While Julia is a giant in her field of expertise as an Executive Coach, she has always made the time for me when I’ve needed her the most. Brian Mapley, Vice President of Sales UK - Adyen
