Personal Coaching

Deepening self-understanding

Our task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within ourselves that we have built against it. Rumi.

For You

If you are longing to ease inner struggle, cultivate deeper trust in yourself, and live with greater clarity, courage, and connection — this work is for you.

The Coaching Process

In coaching, we sit together in a safe, resonant, relational space where you can be just as you are. This is a place to:

  • openly share the stories of your life and be deeply seen, heard and felt
  • gently turn toward the emotions you’ve been running from — grief, anger, fear, shame, pain — and discover them as messengers of healing and hope

  • slow down into organic, intuitive ways of thinking, where the quieter truths of who you are can emerge — not through striving, but through listening deeply

  • connect to your innate heartfulness, wisdom, and creativity — in your work and in your roles as parent, child, partner, friend

  • stretch into new ways of thinking, perceiving, and responding to the events of your life

  • find the answers to your deepest questions.

My approach

My coaching is rooted in decades of research by pioneering adult developmental psychologists, showing how our capacity to make sense of ourselves, others, and the world evolves in increasingly complex, nuanced, and integrated ways.

Alongside this, I draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), relational mindfulness, self-compassion, and the work of Iain McGilchrist and Thomas Hübl. This approach rests on the recognition that transformation is a whole-person process, engaging cognitive, emotional, somatic, and spiritual dimensions.

Working with the innate wisdom of the body is central to my work. It opens the gateway to deeper layers of awareness and supports the rewiring of the nervous system for lasting change.

I work in the territory of therapeutic coaching - a blend of present- and future-oriented coaching that gently includes the past. In our willingness to engage with the unprocessed shadows of our history, we encounter long-forgotten or never-acknowledged parts of ourselves that are holding us back from becoming all we can be. When these inner fragments are welcomed, felt and integrated, we experience a growing sense of wholeness.

As part of my commitment to living the integrity in this work, I continue in personal therapy to deepen my capacities for insight, compassion, presence, and love.

Testimonials

"I think Jane is an amazingly talented coach. From the start I knew she would challenge me but in a good way. She took me on a journey of self-discovery and I’ve learned so many things that will have an impact on my life both inside and outside of work."

"Coaching with Jane has been a transformational experience and I am so grateful for her support."

"I have been astounded by how profoundly this coaching has helped me."

I highly recommend Jane's leadership and vertical development coaching, having experienced it firsthand. You're in safe hands with Jane. Her compassionate approach brings out the unconscious, breakthroughs, offers deeper understanding of current world views and their implications. Working with Jane resulted in more courage and authenticity as we delved into confronting topics, shadows, and blind spots. These sessions are truly transformative. My time with Jane has immensely improved my grounding and complex problem-solving abilities, as well as my presence when coaching senior leaders driving change and teams on their dynamics.

"Jane's coaching was life changing for me. Her absolute presence and her deep compassionate listening made it possible for me to connect to my vulnerability and meet those tender places in myself. I felt like I was on the path towards greater authenticity." IS

"Jane has an incredible ability to help you unlock valuable insight that you never knew you had whilst at the same time fostering self compassion. At a time when I faced an overwhelming number of challenges she guided me to a better place where I can more fully be myself. Through the work that we did I am better equipped to deal with whatever life throws at me next. In this way an investment in coaching with Jane often lives and breathes beyond the original topics of discussion because the insights and tools you unlock can be reapplied again with ease. This is why I have come back to her three times over the last ten years. " AS
