London

Jo is like a fairy godmother, always in my corner, believing in me even when I have struggled to believe in myself.

She listens with genuine kindness, but also knows how to ask the questions that make me stop and see things from a completely different point of view. She is always encouraging me to become the best version of myself.

I can reach out to her anytime. She creates a safe, supportive space where I feel heard and understood. I am so grateful for her care, support and humour. If you're looking for someone who will truly invest in you, while making you feel seen and supported, I couldn't recommend her more. Thank you, Jo. xxx (2026)

Midlands

Jo is an outstanding  coach whose kindness, professionalism, and steady guidance have kept me grounded through immense personal life and work challenges. Having recovered from a mental health breakdown years before Jo's weekly coaching has been crucial in managing high levels of anxiety and preventing a relapse through severe grief, family crises and daily stress. She keeps me focused on my goals and celebrates my wins. Jo has shown genuine warmth and compassion. I cannot recommend Jo highly enough to anyone looking for an exceptional coach. I am profoundly thankful for the working relationship and trust we've built over the last 6 years. (2026)

Netherlands

I couldn’t recommend Jo at Journey life coaching highly enough. When I started working with her, I was at rock bottom and had completely lost my confidence and sense of direction. She helped me find my way back to myself.

She has an incredible ability to really listen, understand what you’re saying (and sometimes what you’re not saying), and then steer the conversation in exactly the right direction. She knows when to challenge you, when to push you, and when you simply need someone to listen.

With her guidance, I’ve learned to prioritise what’s genuinely important to me, challenge the things that were holding me back, and take real steps forward rather than standing still. She has helped me rebuild my confidence, recognise my own strengths and, most importantly, feel like myself again.

I’m incredibly grateful for Jo and the support, guidance and belief she has given me over this past year. Its been a journey, and I couldn’t imagine not speaking to her on a weekly basis. 
I look forward to the energy, perspectives and the possibilities our conversations often bring to light.​​ (2026)

When I felt there was no hope and life was taking me on a path I didn't want to travel.When everything in my life had changed and I couldn't get back on track, it was Jo that made the difference! Jo gave me strength, direction, and believed in me when I no longer believed in myself!I am still on my journey, it's been a very rocky road as life can be on times but I am no longer alone. I now have an altruistic friend, a confidante and a secret weapon, my life coach Jo. Thank you so much. (2024)

Bristol

Jo helped me through a really tough period of my life and I will forever be grateful.
 
I was hesitant to talk to someone but she instantly made me feel comfortable and heard. She also made the sessions accessible and was sure to fit around me and my baby, which meant that it wasn't stressful to try and find time for a session, but that it was convenient for me.
 
She was really considerate and encouraging throughout all of our sessions and put me at ease instantly, no matter how bad I was feeling that day.
 
She has given me tools that I now carry daily to help with anxiety and triggering moments. I'm really glad I was able to talk to Jo and would recommend her to anyone. I also know I will be sure to go back to her should I ever need to again. Thank you Jo! (2023)

Bristol

Having known Jo from a young age I’ve seen her ability to help me grow and adapt to life’s changes from education into professional employment.
 
Jo has been there throughout. Where questions seem unanswerable Jo always seems to have the breakthrough I was looking for.
 
Jo truly has had a very positive impact on my life and I know she will continue to anytime I need it. Amazed someone can be such a good tutor and guide through life whilst remaining so humble, positive, fun and above all understanding. (2022)

Scotland

Jo helped me work through the hardest time of my life. Her pragmatic approach to identify smaller milestones and tackle these individually enabled me to own and drive these forward - helping me achieve what I didn't think was possible.

 

She showed me how to learn, behave and react differently to different experiences at work while dealing with a very challenging and emotional home life - she was caring, friendly and showed great integrity.

 

The phone sessions worked well around my busy work schedule, her personality and energy always left me feeling motivated to drive my goals forward.  I would highly recommend Jo, and now I look forward to working with her in the next stages of my journey. (2022)

Cardiff

Solihull

I felt completely lost, as though someone had pulled the rug from under my feet and my life had come tumbling down.

I contacted Jo initially having no idea what I wanted or needed to get myself feeling better – and now eight months later I don’t really know what happened!! But Jo somehow gave me the permission I needed to stop, embrace myself and my achievements, to re-evaluate what I wanted in life and begin to explore a new direction.
 
I’m on an incredible journey and that is purely because of Jo, her kindness, wisdom, support, empathy and passion for what she does. She has been there for me every step of the way and I know even as I approach my first destination I’m confident and excited for my journey to continue.. (2020)

South Wales

I’ve been seeing Jo on and off for years. Whether it be on a weekly basis, helping me get through some of the really tough times in my life, or just once every few months for a catch up session.
 
Whatever the reason, I come away from a session feeling 100 times better and feeling positive about myself. Jo makes me realise that I can achieve anything and no problem can’t be fixed. I can’t recommend her highly enough! Everybody should have a Jo in their lives!​ (2019)
Just a huge thank you for your excellent service, without which I wouldn’t find myself in the position I am today.​I had made a decision to move to a new employment (leaving a role after 11 years feeling comfortable and happy) the decision I made to move was made as I had just reached my 50th birthday and felt now or never. I soon realised that I had made a mistake (or so I thought) – the confident, happy, carefree person that I once was had gone, I became anxious, my confidence hit rock bottom, I felt that the younger team were jumping above my head, making me feel totally inadequate and not feeling good enough. I wasn’t sleeping, dreading every day, and every minute. Things had to change but I didn’t know how.​I contacted Jo who spoke with me, over a coffee sometimes over the phone as well. Jo focused me. She highlighted all my skills and experience that was already there but thought I had lost.​Jo set me manageable goals which I found easy to achieve that helped me to build my self-confidence. This within a small amount of time enabled me to apply for a career move (within the same company) where I am now the person that I knew (and loved). Where I am the go to person – I am me again! Thank you, Jo. (2020)
