After just one session with Jo, I gained a much better understanding of what truly matters to me in my career. I’ve always been someone who tends to overthink, has a wide range of interests, and adapts easily to different environments and expectations, which can make it difficult to identify a clear career path.
What stood out most was Jo’s ability to connect the dots and bring clarity to something that had felt overwhelming and uncertain. She helped me better understand my values and reframed aspects of myself I’d previously been self-conscious about as important parts of who I am and as something that shouldn’t be ignored when making career decisions.

I started working with Jo with the general goal of staying on ”my path” and living the best version of myself. Shortly after our initial coaching sessions, I was diagnosed with cancer. This came as a total surprise to me, but luckily, I had Jo, who helped me get past the shock, fear, and reluctance. With her help, I could move from a place of distrust in the medical environment to a place of gratitude and a sense of my situation as an opportunity and a blessing.
Jo has also helped me on a large range of other topics, including parenting challenges. She is always understanding and practical, finding solutions beyond what I myself think I need. She sees the whole me, not just the part of me that I’m focused on at the moment. Jo has the ability to see trends in my life, patterns that have not been visible to me myself. With her help, I have been able to stay true to who I want to be rather than just solve the immediate problem in front of me. She helps me to put my goings-on into the larger picture of my life.
The most magical thing about Jo is that she sometimes seems to understand me better than I understand myself. She can summarise what I think and feel with more precise words than I’m able to find. For me, hearing her mirror my story back to me in a clearer way helps me make sense of myself and the situations I find myself in.
I look forward to continuing to work with Jo as I make the most of my life journey and live the best version of myself.

I spoke to Jo over two Zoom sessions, primarily to talk through a decision to change careers and go back to university. From our time together, I was incredibly impressed by Jo's ability to synthesise and interpret my inner thoughts and emotions. She shared insights and observations that made me feel validated and understood, while also giving me space to challenge and come to my own conclusions.
Jo's direction and guidance in ensuring the sessions had clear goals, key takeaways, and outcomes were what I personally found most useful. I tend to go off on tangents, so it was helpful to have Jo steer the sessions — especially in a way that made space for what I wanted to say while also guiding us towards a tangible take-out. The way Jo linked what I was saying to these insights was very impressive."
Jo is approachable, deeply inquisitive and intentional in her practice. Despite only having two sessions, I found our time together incredibly valuable and would recommend Jo's coaching to anyone.

I really enjoyed the conversational style of the session. The questions you asked made me think more deeply about the situations I described — why I tend to respond in certain ways, and how I could approach things differently. Having someone listen and ask constructive questions was very valuable to me. I honestly think we covered a lot of ground, more than expected. I also really appreciated walking away with practical tips, clear takeaways, and actions — something tangible that I can work on.
