Break free from anxiety, unwanted habits, fears and self-doubt and start feeling like yourself again

Helping you become the improved you—not by changing who you are, but by removing what's been holding you back.

Personalised Coaching, Hypnotherapy and NLP to help you create positive, lasting change.

Hello, I'm Jo

If you’ve found your way here, there’s probably something in your life that you’d like to change.

Perhaps you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, a loss of confidence, or any number of other challenges that are affecting your day-to-day life. Maybe there’s an unwanted habit that’s been difficult to break, a fear that’s holding you back, or you’re simply feeling stuck and unsure of the next step.

Whatever has brought you here, you’re very welcome.

I know that making the decision to reach out isn’t always easy. When you’re living with a problem every day, it can be difficult to see a way forward on your own. Sometimes, having someone beside you who will listen, understand and gently guide you can make all the difference.

My aim is to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s been holding you back and begin creating the positive, lasting changes you’re looking for.

Whether your goal is to feel calmer, build confidence, improve your relationships, change an unwanted habit or make an important life or career decision, we’ll work together to find the approach that’s right for you.

Everyone’s journey is different, which is why every session is tailored to the individual. Together, we’ll focus on helping you move forward with greater confidence, clarity and a renewed sense of control.

Imagine feeling...

  • Calmer and more in control
  • Free from a habit you no longer want
  • More confident in yourself and your decisions
  • Comfortable speaking up and being heard
  • Able to move forward without fear holding you back
  • More like the person you know you can be

You do not necessarily have to spend months or years talking about the problem.

By working with both your conscious and unconscious thinking, positive changes can often begin much sooner than people expect.

How I Can Help You

Anxiety, fears and confidence

Anxiety, panic, fear and self-doubt can gradually make your world feel smaller.

You may avoid situations, overthink conversations or find yourself expecting the worst. Together, we can work on changing those responses so that you feel calmer, safer and increasingly confident. 

Unwanted habits

Perhaps you want to stop smoking or vaping, change your relationship with food or alcohol, or let go of another behaviour that no longer feels right for you.

Rather than relying on willpower alone, we work on the thoughts, feelings and patterns behind the habit.

Personal and professional change

You may be facing a difficult decision, struggling with boundaries, feeling stuck in your career or wanting more confidence when speaking to others.

Coaching can help you gain clarity, see new possibilities and take practical steps forward.

Relationships

Relationships can become strained, unhappy or stuck in familiar patterns.

Coaching can help individuals and couples communicate more effectively, understand what is happening beneath the surface and find healthier ways forward.

A real client’s experience

“When I first met Jo, I was a complete mess. I was riddled with fear. Some days I couldn’t even get out of bed or eat.”

Jo helped Sue begin leaving the house again, manage her panic attacks and work through the issues that had been affecting her.

“Thankfully, I am now back at work full-time and have become more successful. My anxiety, fears and worries have reduced significantly and my depression has disappeared.”

“Thank you, Jo, for not only helping me get my life back, but also for guiding me to become a better version of myself.”

Sue, Essex

 

Why work with me?

Choosing the right person to support you is an important decision.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of people overcome anxiety, build confidence, change unwanted habits and create lasting positive change.

Every client is different, which is why every session is tailored to the individual rather than following a standard script.

My approach combines Coaching, Hypnotherapy and NLP, supported by 24 years in senior corporate leadership and training with Richard Bandler, Paul McKenna, John La Valle and June O’Driscoll.

What would you like to change?

People come to me for help with many different issues, including:

Anxiety and panic attacks
Confidence and self-esteem
Fear of public speaking
Stopping smoking or vaping
Alcohol habits
Weight and emotional eating
Stress and overwhelm
Relationships and boundaries
Career and business challenges
Fears, phobias and unwanted habits

Your situation may not fit neatly into one category. That is completely fine.

We can talk about what has been happening and decide whether I am the right person to help.

Your Breakthrough Session

A Breakthrough Session gives us the time to focus properly on what you would like to change.

Before the session, we will identify the outcome you want. During our work together, I may use a combination of coaching, hypnotherapy and NLP, depending on what is most suitable for you.

Sessions are personal, confidential and designed around your individual needs.

Online sessions are available through Zoom, allowing you to work with me wherever you are.

Please note: If you’re looking to stop smoking or vaping, these sessions are slightly different. They are delivered as a dedicated, longer one-to-one session, specifically designed to help you become smoke-free and/or vape-free.

Ready to take the next step?

You are welcome to contact me to ask a question or enquire about arranging your Breakthrough Session.

Taking that first step may feel significant — but it could also be the beginning of a very positive change.

All round Coaching

- Danny Whybrow, Kent

I can’t recommend Jo highly enough. Through a combination of the pressure of a global leadership role, health issues and the challenges of the global pandemic, I was struggling to see the wood for the trees and to feel in control of my life. Working with Jo has been an absolute pleasure. Through our sessions, and some practical exercises that helped me to appraise my current state and identify what improvements I wanted to achieved where, I very quickly achieved clarity, direction and developed a clear plan of action that has enabled me to make significant progress in all areas of my life and work. Jo’s manner is the perfect combination of listening, understanding, challenging, and guiding. Within a short space of time I am now feeling happier, healthier and more in control of my life. With a clear direction, clear goals and renewed motivation I’m now in a very different place than I was just a few weeks ago. Thank you Jo, your help is very much appreciated!
 

Get your life back

- Sue, Essex

When I first met Jo I was a complete mess. I was riddled with fear. Some days I couldn’t even get out of bed or eat. Jo spoke to me on the phone and encouraged me to leave the house. Gradually I could drive and go for walks. Jo gave me tools and strategies to cope with panic attacks. I had severe depression. Jo helped ‘me’ fight my corner, giving me tasks to complete which helped bring me back to sanity. We were able to get to some of the root causes which were distressing me by going back to my childhood. No one had been able to do this before. I had multiple issues that Jo helped me work on. Thankfully I am now back to work full time and have become more successful. My anxiety, fears and worries have reduced significantly and my depression has disappeared. Jo instantly made me feel at ease, I found it really easy to talk to her. Jo really does care about her clients and goes above and beyond. Thank you Jo for not only helping me get my life back, but also for guiding me to become a better version of myself.
