About me

I offer career, life and well-being coaching to people who currently lack confidence, or feel over-whelmed with life and/or work. You're looking for ways to create more fulfilment. 

Hi, my name is JK (Jennie-Kate) McQuinn I help people to find the confidence, esteem and connections to live life as your 'true self' - contented. 

I coach men and women who currently feel stuck, fearful or confused with your current situation.  You know you want to change things in your life or work. But are struggling with the clarity and confidence when it comes to the what and how. 

This has probably led to you either procrastinating or over-thinking which often means your situation - and the challenges it brings you and those around you- has ended up going on much longer than you wanted it too. 

Many of the people I coach tell me they feel they are more introverted than extroverted. In a world of 'big characters' and 'outgoing expectations' this can lead to you second guessing or self-doubting how best to 'be yourself' and communicate. 

It might have led to you having to mask behaviours, which can be exhausting to sustain. 

Or left you withdrawing or feeling isolated and often mis-understood by others. 

I help people to better understand the whole malarkey of 'being human' in a complex world. Helping you to find your own version of confidence and esteem and show you ways you can feel calmer and connected in social situations. 

Sessions in nature help to deepen ways to reduce stress and boost confidence, helping the mind and body recover from the challenges and intensity of the modern world. Whilst practical resources, strategies and coaching will help you find ways to reach goals, boost confidence and feel you are more aligned with the life and future you want for yourself. 

The best way to discover whether coaching together will be a good fit, is to book in a FREE 20 minute discovery call by zoom or telephone.
