Coaching

In over 100 hours of one-to-one coaching to date, I have supported individuals to discover how they can be the best version of themselves.

In my specialist field of education, that coaching has spanned working with teachers, to aspiring senior leaders, to Headteachers, to educational consultants.

It has also involved working with many outside of education: from career changers, to individuals who are interested in starting their own businesses, and people keen to explore how they can make positive changes in their lives.

For some, that has been about learning how they can create more of a balance, and exploring what ‘wellbeing’ means in their individual contexts.

For others, it has been about how they can have more confidence and impact in the time they devote to work. By supporting people to find their own direction, and their own strengths, that has helped them to see what next steps they want to take in their careers.

With over 150 hours of specific coach training, I am equipped with a range of different approaches and strategies that I can use to best support potential clients to achieve the goals that are meaningful for them.

I became an accredited coach after an intensive six-month training programme with Growth Coaching International in 2021. I am currently completing a diploma in coaching with Full Circle, and awaiting my registration with the International Coaching Federation.

I am passionate about equity and making coaching available for all. My fee is fifty pounds per hour. If you are a student, or that fee is not affordable, just get in touch and we can negotiate something that works.

“I had always been curious about coaching and I am so grateful that the opportunity to be coached by Jamie arose. Jamie has such a wonderfully reassuring, calm and positive approach that I felt instantly at ease. Coaching gave me the space to explore the work issues I was getting stuck on, and under Jamie's expert guidance, reach my own solutions which felt so empowering. I finished each session feeling energised and ready to put everything we had discussed into practice; my productivity and confidence gained exactly the boost needed! Whilst I was using this in relation to my professional life, I can see that a coaching approach would be equally powerful for personal life too and wouldn't hesitate to choose Jamie again if I ever needed. I highly recommend anyone considering coaching to give it a go - the results for me were transformational! Thank you so much Jamie."

My coaching conversations with Jamie guided me as I prepared to apply for a promotion. Jamie always had the right questions to push me on to the next stage of my preparation. In moments of self-doubt (of which there were many!), Jamie helped navigate me towards a more positive and assured state of mind. I left every session feeling motivated and excited about the plans that we had shaped through the conversation. I would really recommend Jamie as a coach.

I went into my coaching journey anticipating that my goal would be to climb the ladder at work, and quickly, but came out of my second session realising it is to find more balance in my life. The questions Jamie asked and the visualisation activities he guides me through, allowed me to unlock an even more powerful desire that I had been oppressing. What is most impressive is the clear step by step process he sets out, allowing me to understand how to make my transformative goal into a reality through small steps, broken down further into a checklist of achievable tasks - dated and signed so he can hold me to account! Jamie is very easy to talk to, and is a hugely reflective listener - repeating back what he has heard in summaries that draw out key feelings and realisations. He never provides answers but asks the right questions at the right time so that I can discover my own answers. Ironically, I do believe, that in allowing me to find more balance in my life - I will ultimately realise my ambitions of promotion at work, but in a more sustainable way and as a happier person.

Jamie has helped me to discover what my actual priorities are in life and how to construct habits and rituals to keep them at the top of my mind each and every day. The best thing about working with Jamie is that he doesn’t tell you what to do, but instead uses open questions to help you find the answer that you already know but haven’t had enough structure to actually put in place. I would recommend seeking Jamie out if you are ready to discover who you want to be, and to get help working out how to get there.”

“Jamie’s coaching has been pivotal as I navigate some huge professional decisions. He has the uncanny ability of finding exactly the right question to inspire you to think at a deeper level and to undercover the core issues. His positive summarising and feedback have boosted my self-confidence and encouraged me to be bold and ambitious in my career plans. Thank you Jamie.”

"As a regular listener to The Beyond Survival podcast, I was excited to participate in Jamie's Coaching calls. Together we discussed any concerns or areas I wanted to focus on prior to my final placement of my PGDE Course. This provided me with a greater understanding on the topics covered, resulting in greater confidence within myself, I would highly recommend the coaching sessions with Jamie. "
