Hello! I’m Jess
I specialise in helping kind, considerate, empathic professionals like you, to develop a calm, confident, credible leadership style, without changing who you are.
EMPATHY POWERED LEADERSHIP COACHING
Getting to Leadership
With over twenty years of coaching women in to leadership roles, and self-employment, my methods and bespoke approach will get you fast results.
Owning Senior Leadership
You’re managing others, and you’d like: more credibility and influence; to protect your time and energy; a clearer headspace for strategic thinking.
HELPING GOOD PEOPLE TO HAVE MORE POWER
You work hard
You do more than most
You care more than most
And yet they’re still taking you for granted.
They turn to you in a crisis, but you're not the one they promote.
They mistake your niceness for weakness - but it's your strategic asset.
They say 'raise your profile', but you don't want to change who you are.
They take you for granted. Do you lean in or get out..?
I’ve coached hundreds of people facing these common problems.
My 20yrs experience can help you turn things around in just 6 months.
Influence & Presence
Be fully yourself in the room: calm and quietly powerful. Amplify your empathy to leadership levels.
Assertiveness & Advocacy
Get clear on what you want, don’t want, and how to stand your ground with compassion.
Strengthening Boundaries
Notice where your energy leaks, name your limits, and honour your capacity: everyone will benefit.
Maximising Impact
Make a bigger difference by staying rooted as you rise.
Empathy Powered Coaching
Who Is It For?
This is for you if anything on this page resonates.
Whether you’re wishing for the promotion, already in a leadership role, or you are self-employed – this work meets you where you are, and moves you forward with the compassion you deserve.
How Does It Work?
This is a six month 1:1 coaching package designed to transform how you lead yourself and others. This package gives you:
Pre-Coaching Activities including an online personality profiling assessment
6 Coaching Sessions: 60 minutes, via video call, with record and replay options
Bespoke Integration Tasks based on psychology, neuroscience, CBT, IFS, self-compassion, tailored to your challenge, your needs and your situation
Email and audio support between sessions
1 Follow-Up Session to consolidate and celebrate how far you’ve come
Do I need to be in a leadership role already?
No. You just need to be ready to take up space in a new way. My clients are either preparing for management, managers, senior leaders or self-employed. This work meets you wherever you are.
What if I’ve had coaching or therapy before?
Many of my clients have. Often they arrive saying, “It helped a bit… but it didn’t hit the spot.” Or “It wasn’t practical enough”.
It goes deeper than CBT and works faster than typical psychotherapy. My style is directive so you can expect to be gently challenged – this is usually where the magic happens!
Clients often say it’s the first time they’ve felt fully seen as both sensitive and strategic beings. And the impact? It shows up fast, because we go exactly where the change needs to happen.
Will this help with burnout?
Yes. And it will do more than just “help.” It will equip you with tools to stop over-functioning, to stop over-giving, to clarify your boundaries, and finally lead from a place that sustains you.
Is this therapy?
While many clients say our sessions feel deeply therapeutic, this isn’t traditional therapy. What I offer is psychologically informed coaching that is rooted in evidence-based practice and delivered with compassion.
I hold a doctoral-level qualification as a Chartered Psychologist and I’m an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. My approach draws from psychology, neuroscience, mindful self-compassion, and over 20 years of experience supporting real personal and professional growth, gently, safely, and powerfully.
What happens after the 6 months?
We’ll have a final reflection session to capture what’s changed – and to celebrate how far you’ve come in such a short amount of time – and if you’d like continued support.
Some clients are invited to train in the Empathy Powered Method, which enables them to integrate this work into their own leadership or coaching practice.
About Me
I hold a doctoral-level qualification as a Chartered Psychologist and I’m an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society.
I’ve designed the Empathy Powered Coaching Method drawing from psychology, neuroscience, mindful self-compassion, and over 20 years of experience supporting real personal and professional growth, gently, safely, and with phenomenal results.
Don’t just take my word for it, here are some testimonials.
With over twenty years’ experience working with global brands, national charities, and MBA students at Cambridge Judge Business School, I bring psychological depth and practical tools to this leadership development method.
My award-winning book, The Super-Helper Syndrome, has been translated into multiple languages, and my thought leadership has been featured in publications including The Telegraph, The Times, HR and Business magazines, and national media outlets.
At the heart of my work is the belief that empathy is not a weakness but a competitive strength. Through the Empathy Powered Coaching Method, and the Empathy Powered Leadership Academy, I help organisations identify overlooked talent and transform them into confident, influential leaders who deliver measurable results.
