About Jen

I changed industries three times, moving from England to Sydney to Paris to Amsterdam, each time sure the next place would be the one where it all clicked. It never was, until I stopped changing the scenery and started asking what I actually wanted. That’s the question I now help other people answer.

How I coach

People don’t need more advice when they’re stuck. They need a moment to explore, to understand what they need and what’s holding them back. They need awareness and ideas that are made for them.
I don’t think I know better how to do life. I see it as a chance, a gift, something to have fun with. I help people hear themselves more clearly. I ask questions they haven’t considered before. I create space to think without judgement, to get underneath all the layers of “should” and “supposed to” and find out what’s true for them. What I bring is a way of listening that most people don’t experience very often. Not listening to fix, or to advise, or to move you toward an answer I already have in mind. Listening to help you hear yourself.
The sessions are conversations. Honest ones. The kind where something shifts, not because you were told what to do, but because you finally realised what you already knew.

Utlising tools such as individual coaching, group coaching, eLearning, online and in-person workshops. 

A BIT more ABOUT ME

I grew up in England and have lived in Sydney, Paris and, for the last eleven years, Amsterdam. I studied psychology and criminolgy at the University of Southampton, then worked in government organisations, global corporates, advertising agencies and an orgnisational change consultants before starting my own practice. What I learnt is that the fulfilment and success I was looking for were available to me all along. I just didn’t have the tools or the perspective to live it. That shapes everything I do as a coach. I work with professionals who aren’t sure what’s next in their career. We work out what matters to them, and what to do about it. I take my work with joy, lightness and seriousness, and I’m always studying, because my clients deserve my best. I’m drawn to Eastern philosophy, Western psychology, meditation and movement, and I’m happiest outdoors. They remind me what matters most.

Reviews

“Jen is a compassionate, informed, and generous coach, who takes the time to work through issues (which often aren’t even realised until the session itself) with care and wise consideration.”

R

Freelance writer
“My sessions with Jen have had great impact in my professional life. During our sessions she was understanding, patient and attentive. She would ask questions or bring to light an issue that I never thought about.”

V

E-Mobility Project Associate
“I originally approached Jen for some career-focussed coaching, we had an initial discussion and then Jen set out a programme to work through my goals. I am thoroughly enjoying our sessions together and have made leaps in progress since starting the program.”

E

Senior Producer
“I started my coaching with Jen lacking some career direction, and some confidence and motivation, but after six sessions all those things are in a much better place. Jen’s encouragement, patience and focused questioning, have given me the space to reflect on what I want to work towards, and helped me develop the tools to build my confidence self-sufficiently”

M

Civil Servant
“Jen is a very kind, comforting and understanding woman. From the very first time we talked to each other, I felt at ease, she helped me to define my goals and taught me not be too harsh on myself. If you're looking for someone with whom you will feel comfortable to share your struggles, your dreams and your thoughts and to put things in perspective, she is the right one.”
