~ Hannah, Ecommerce Director
"I would whole-heartedly recommend Jude for anyone seeking coaching. I came to Jude as I was transitioning into my first leadership position, and her support and gentle questioning helped me to develop in confidence, get over the overwhelm and adjust to life at full speed (whilst also ensuring that I take time for myself.) Jude was a brilliant sounding board during this period and I valued her expertise and understanding. I feel that with her support, I embraced my new position and let go of the imposter syndrome. Thanks Jude!"
~ Natasha, Communications Director
"I hadn’t experienced coaching before and I was a bit nervous. However, Jude immediately put me at ease and provided a wonderfully safe space and skilled guiding hand to help me unravel my thinking and find a positive way forward. Whether you are looking to change direction, need help on a particular issue or just feel a bit stuck, I would highly recommend Jude. I looked forward to each coaching session as I knew I would come away feeling greater clarity and empowered to make the right progress for me."
~ Vicky, Senior Marketing Manager
"I worked with Jude over six sessions during a period of redundancy and it’s been an incredibly helpful and insightful process.I had so many questions and doubts about career and future in my head. The more job rejections I got, the more questions and worries I had. But Jude was great reminding me of my strengths and achievements and helped me to stay grounded and positive during the period of uncertainty. Within a few weeks, I had secured an exciting new senior opportunity and a good part of that was down to the professional confidence and self-awareness Jude help me to reconnect with. She is a real pro with a wide range of great coaching skills. The ones I’ve valued most are: she really does care about you and your success; she is a great listener; she emails accurate and helpful summaries of our conversation after each session, with signposts for further reading, listening, etc; she asks simple but highly effective questions to open up new lines of thought and get you in touch with what really matters for you to create great performance at work and maintain good health and well-being - for example your values and boundaries; she gives you responsibility for the direction of the sessions and what you want to get out of them. This encourages a sense of ownership and empowerment. So *thank you*."
~ Jamie, Head of Communications and External Affairs
"Jude helped me through a tricky time in my career and life change. Its amazing how Jude can gently guide you though a session, enticing you to dig deep and find what you need to answer your own questions in a safe and secure session. Jude helped me overcome some negative thoughts quickly and easily. The work we did still sits with me every day, showing the huge impact and value it provided."
~ Charlie, Agency MD
"Jude was absolutely brilliant in helping build my confidence to succeed, both by encouraging me to really think through and prioritise my motivations and ambitions and by providing me with concrete strategies to overcome some of the (internal) barriers I was facing in moving forward. I had no idea about coaching and came across Jude through a mutual friend at a time when I was trying to re-enter the jobs market after an extended (17 year) break and furthermore, to completely change my career direction. I would unequivocally recommend Jude to anyone who needs a bit of help in identifying or achieving their goals, personal or professional."
~ Rachel, Head of Partnerships
"It’s been a pleasure working with Jude, she’s a wonderful coach and I deeply value the time we’ve spent together. Jude was great at helping me untangle my thoughts and emotions to arrive at a conclusion that felt right. Thank you for your invaluable support!"
~ Charlie, Head of Marketing
"Where do I begin! I've always thought about coaching but never really found that I gelled with any of the profiles I looked at. I'm so glad that I chose to work with Jude! I am a notoriously stressed person, mental health a little bit all over the place, trouble saying no and over committing, the list goes on. Since having my sessions with Jude I am noticeably a different person, I feel calmer, I can think more clearly, and my friends and family have happily noticed the change too. I'm able to rationalise things a bit more, and can navigate mom guilt and good old regular guilt a lot better. Not a perfect result yet, and I look forward to having more sessions with Jude in the near future to keep improving and ultimately, enjoying being me a lot more. Thank you Jude!"
~ Camille, Director of Data
“Jude's ability to ask the right questions at the right time and pull information that you already have within yourself is a real skill! She really made me feel at ease with digging deep (which can sometimes be a struggle for me) and owning my truths. It was unquestionably beneficial to have her guide me through pushing my business to the next level. Having Jude as an accountability partner helped me to understand how to be better at holding myself accountable, and to also learn to celebrate my wins no matter how big or small they are! I would recommend Jude to anyone that's feeling stuck (in any way) and needs some guidance on becoming a better version of themselves, her sessions are calming, wholesome and transformational - she helps you to become happier and more self aware and leaves you with the tools and confidence to do it on your own!"
~ Shamal, Business Owner
"Jude is a very professional, clear and compassionate coach. She's a lovely person to talk to and somehow she makes you feel completely at ease and heard. Her approach helped me to see things from a different perspective which boosted my confidence in my new career. Would highly recommend her."
~ Katia, Business Owner
"The opportunity to reflect on the present and share my hopes for the future, the moments of silence, where I was reaching for some of the unspoken issues in my life, were really important, and reminded me that it takes time and sometimes courage for the important things to surface. Working with you allowed me that time and has reminded me of it's value. In the midst of turbulence, it can be hard to notice changes, but in this process of reflection I know my path is clearer and I am better equipped for the future."
~ Mike, Business Development Manager
"I was coached by Jude on some aspects of my personal and professional growth. Jude has a very strong and supportive presence as a coach, which helped me identify what was meaningful for me in both areas of my life. She was amazing at giving me the space to explore my feelings, thoughts and my options. With her positive and encouraging way of coaching I was always feeling inspired after our sessions to do purposeful work towards my goals. Thank you so much for this Jude!"
~ Eirini, Business Owner
"Jude is a compassionate coach who will expertly get to the bottom of whatever is standing in the way. She has taken me from feeling flat and ready to give up on parts of my business, to feeling inspired with a brand new lease of life. Thank you Jude"
~ Sarah, Business Owner
"Major shift in my thinking from first session to fifth. My thinking and my behaviour has changed immensely and the space I had to explore produced major shift for me. Skillful questioning enabled me to go deep in my layers and it was such a supportive and positive atmosphere provided by Jude in the sessions."
~ Dee, Business Owner
"Being coached by Jude is such a great experience. Jude is very welcoming, and creates a safe space for me to explore what's on my mind. I know Jude is listening to me, and she often asks questions that take me beyond my initial thinking, to unravel something deeper and holding me back when I'm feeling stuck. I've had some unexpected 'ah ha!' moments with Jude, that's shifted my mindset. I come away from coaching with Jude with more clarity about what next."
~ Jo, Business Owner
"Jude’s coaching has been a revelation for me & I cannot recommend her highly enough! She instantly puts you at ease with her calm & empathetic manner, she is an excellent listener and extremely perceptive, helping you to ascertain & explore areas for focus, development or challenges to overcome. Jude is gently tenacious where required so you always leave a session feeling you have thoroughly explored and understood your goals and with a huge smile on your face!”

“I just wanted to tell you that I thought your neurodiversity session was really powerful, useful and insightful. Genuinely inspiring and I really enjoyed it so I just wanted to say thank you!”
~ Rebecca Cunningham, Coach
“We were lucky enough to have Jude come into the London Review of Books to run an afternoon workshop. Jude ran the session so professionally; getting to know each delegate, engaging with everyone in the room, pacing the content just right and ensuring there was plenty of secure space to share, enquire and reflect. Jude tailored the content and timing to suit our brief, proposed different options and was super flexible in her approach to what would work best for our staff. Jude is a natural at high impact facilitation - if you are looking to run group sessions for your staff I highly recommend Jude!”
