Hi, I’m Jude, an executive leadership coach and personal coach with over a decade of experience helping people overcome their professional and personal challenges.
Starting in an NHS setting, I set up my own coaching practice, training with Leeds Beckett University and developing powerful partnerships with a range of clients, from corporate leaders to individuals, to help transform their lives and businesses.
Together we can identify your issues and develop the solutions that enable you to thrive. Whether our work is personal or corporate coaching, we’ll work together to discover your perspectives on the problems and issues you bring to our sessions. Our coaching will allow you to develop a deeper awareness of your behaviours and unlock new insights, ultimately allowing you to fulfil your potential. We will create new strategies for your leadership, develop new, fresh ways of thinking, create new narratives and develop resilience.
This is perfect for you if you are struggling to know what’s next in your career, are trying to gain a greater work/life balance, want stronger satisfaction in your work and life, or can’t work out what is holding you back.
I can help you to identify and ultimately remove blockages so that you have a more successful and thriving business, develop your leadership skills and are happier and more fulfilled at work and in your relationships. Together we can:
Jude’s coaching has been a significant help during an uncertain time in my career. I arrived in my first session unsure of where I wanted to go, and confused about my next steps. Jude’s holistic approach helped me think more clearly and bigger than just my career to start with. Her coaching has given me great insight into other factors of my life and how these subsequently affect how I behave and go about things. Jude’s style is very personable, she is easy to get along with and has a supportive nature.
I believe she is particularly gifted at coaching women and I enjoyed her holistic approach to not just focussing on the specific problem at hand or career.
I’m now much more aware and better able to understand my own emotions and the reactions of others. As a consequence I think more rationally and let go of the small things. I have also identified key ‘weaknesses’ /inner critics and better understand the science more of how I think and behave. This has enabled me to go through a promotion which without Jude’s coaching I would have found much more difficult. Another significant area of improvement is that Ive been able to strike a much better work life balance and see much more the importance on my life outside of work which makes me feel more successful overall in life. I would definitely recommend Jude to others.
I have worked with Jude for around a year now and she has been instrumental in not only helping me to grow my business- but more beneficially (and unexpectedly!) improve my understanding of myself and the patterns of behaviour I have. She has an incredible way of voicing and explaining things which I would never have noticed or been able to grasp without her insight. She is very perceptive, articulate, educated and non-judgemental which has made working with her a pleasure. I have experienced many different therapeutic approaches over the years and am also a trained therapist myself and I have to say that the work I have done with Jude has had by far the biggest impact. I can’t recommend her highly enough- if you struggling professionally/personally or simply just not enjoying life as much as you wish then if she has space- book in.
I’ve really enjoyed working with Jude over the past 12 months and would highly recommend her coaching. Jude has helped me to gain a much deeper understanding of what drives my behaviours which has allowed me to approach both professional and personal situations from a different viewpoint. I’ve also found the additional recommended reading to be really valuable to allow continued personal development in between coaching sessions. Jude’s style is friendly and approachable but not afraid to challenge.I’ve really enjoyed working with Jude over the past 12 months and would highly recommend her coaching.

Jude helped me immensely to disregard concerns about what other people thought of me and to take time to get to know myself. Her encouragement and support has been instrumental in me adapting to a new role and move from feeling insecure and lacking confidence to not only established in my job, but a high performer among my peers and (almost!) ready for the next step! Jude is hugely likeable and has a very warm, personable style. I felt able to confide in her over a number of challenges that I couldn’t even articulate to my husband. She is patient, immensely kind and very supportive. Working with Jude enabled me to set clear goals and achieve tangible results. I would strongly recommend Jude to both friends and colleagues.
Over the past 18 months, Jude has been instrumental in guiding me to understand the full scope of my professional abilities. In particular, her insight has been pivotal in helping me embrace accountability and process how my personal circumstances impact my career. Her style is direct but non-judgemental, openly exploring complex subjects with empathy and kindness at all times.
Since working with Jude, my confidence, decision making and aptitude have all rapidly increased. Her one-to-one coaching has been instrumental in my career progression during this time. I can’t recommend highly enough the mentorship and counselling she delivers.Over the past 18 months, Jude has been instrumental in guiding me to understand the full scope of my professional abilities.

I’ve been receiving business coaching from Jude for the last year and I would absolutely recommend her. Jude is friendly, engaging and genuinely interested in everything that makes you who you are. Her coaching sessions are always insightful and I’ve been impressed by how Jude is always available if I’m keen to discuss something between sessions.
Jude’s coaching has helped me to develop a much greater sense of self-awareness which has really helped me understand why I act and think in certain ways. This has enabled me to challenge and overcome some of the pre-conceived thoughts I had about myself. This has really benefited me in both my place of work and personal life. In particular this has helped improve my confidence when dealing with senior stakeholders, the way I go about challenging the views of others in a constructive way and how I interact with my team.
Jude provided coaching support across the last year which I found extremely valuable and informative throughout our sessions, and often in reflection after. This helped me to gain greater understanding of the choices in my career, and create a clear pathway forward to help me make significant development progress. I found Jude to be extremely approachable and easy to converse with, and after discussing varying topics that at times where challenging often led to helpful insight which I could learn and improve from.
I am a qualified Emotional Intelligence (EI) practitioner, enabling me to work with you to cultivate and develop greater levels of EI. This means the coaching focuses on developing your understanding of the issues holding you back. Studies examining the link between EI and leadership and a range of interpersonal relationships found that participants with higher EI scores were more successful professionally, more successful in leadership and happier in their relationships.
Raising levels of awareness is the key to successful coaching and creating a more successful business and happier life. I have found that it has made profound differences in people’s professional and personal lives through the development of their EI.
Emotional self-awareness is also recognising what motivates you and, in turn, what brings you fulfilment. Our coaching will help you to develop and fully understand this about yourself.
I will support you in a way that listens without judgement, in a way that allows you to be deeply understood. Empathy and approachability will be central to our work, with a person-centred therapeutic approach at the heart of a strong coaching relationship. You will be able to openly share information shame-free and better understand what is holding you back and why you feel and behave the way you do.
