About me

Hi, I am JK (Jennie-Kate) I help adult men and women (Typically 29-55 years old) to create more confidence and balance in your life. 

Through career, life and well-being coaching. 

My sessions centre around a Nature-led approach, drawing on the benefits of nature reconnection for personal growth, mindset and emotional resilience. 

Helping to make the process of change and development feel more easy and open. 

For those a little further afield then North Yorkshire (where my woods are located) or to meet in N/W Yorkshire for walk and talk sessions (coaching outdoors in parks and public nature spaces) I also offer sessions online via Zoom. 

Most of my clients find themselves too busy or struggling with beliefs (and the feelings) that go with self-doubt, imposter, confusion or frustration. 

Many clients come to me with a sense of what they want to change, but feel overwhelmed about how to create that, or worried about making the 'wrong choice' which leads to analysis paralysis and procrastination. This could be in work or personal situation. 

I also work with plenty of people who know things need to change, but don't actually know what they want from life, or where to go next and how, if this is you. Be reassured coaching can help with the clarity and confidence to know this for yourself, so it becomes easier to define and take your next steps. 

I love to work with:

  • Women and Men struggling with anxiety, stress or confidence that currently feels its changing who you are, and how you experience the world. 
  • Busy mums and dads who struggle to make time for yourself and know you need to make some changes to stay at your best. You are looking for new ways of being that means you have time for you in the day, as well as the people you love. 
  • Those working in purpose led, charity or voluntary sector roles who feel over-busy, overwhelmed and lost or burning out. 
  • People who label themselves as People Pleasers or describe themselves as experiencing Impost Syndrome. But recognise the challenges this causes you with time, energy and self esteem. 
  • Ready to change your career, but confused or lost with where to begin. Needing a balance of practical career coaching support with a space to truly understand yourself, your talents and what you want from life. 
  • A big change or impending redundancy is leading to pressure, worry and a need for decisions and you need help to figure out your options. 
  • People who feel they'd like more ways to understand themselves, how themselves and others mindsets can impact change and find better ways to communicate, regulate emotions, assert yourself without feeling horrendous or guilty for it, or who need help creating better boundaries. 
  • Individuals who care about Nature and the planet and want to design a life & career aligned to this. 
  • You've just received an adult diagnosis of ADHD/AUD or another neurodivergence and need skills to process and adapt to this part of you. 

I help you with:

  • Career Change & In-Work Support 
  • Confidence & Self Esteem
  • Emotional regulation 
  • Belief systems and identity 
  • Well-being, Habits and Mindset
  • Grief, Loss and Adversity. 
  • Communication Skills 
  • Boundaries 
  • Taming Imposter Syndrome
  • Change & Goal Setting 
  • Creating a simplified and beauty life 
  • Valuing your uniqueness. 
  • Personal Leadership Skills, development and growth. 
  • Money Stories 
  • Phobias and Fears 
  • Improved relationship dynamics (work/personal)
  • Guilt, Shame, Regret, Frustration and Confusion (stuck states) 
  • Creating more Freedom, Creativity, Joy and Flow

Further information

Sessions together, are delivered at private woodland near Ripon or sessions can be held online, via zoom. 

I also offer walk-and-talk coaching sessions from a range of public woodlands in Leeds.  These are offered to clients who have completed an initial session together. 

Sessions last around 90 minutes, most people benefit from 1-6 sessions on average. 

I offer packages for online and in nature. 

As well as pay-as-you-go and bespoke approaches.

Most people will have sessions every 2-4 weeks - everyone is different. 

Coaching in Nature combines practical coaching and reflective activities and approaches. With time in and alongside nature, reaping the benefits of a calming and inspiring setting. 

I help you to better understand yourself and your situation. Identify where you are and where you want to be in work, life and your relationships with others. Support you to set intentions and create changes that mean you reach your goals, change behaviours and create beliefs that support you to feel confident about life.

This includes helping with planning, options, beliefs, values, self-talk, emotional regulation and creating habits and actions. 

I also understand that your life may be faced with challenges, unexpected changes and unknowns. So we ensure that you have a wide range of opportunities to deal with the rough and the smooth of life.

I work with people who see value in creating a life that also helps their well-being and happiness too. 

The private woodland is abundant with wildlife from deer to stoat, birds of prey and woodpeckers. 

Postcode for the woodland venue is HG4 3PU. (Sessions run at this location between March and November)

Walk and Talk coaching sessions available at various public nature locations in Leeds & North Yorkshire

I am also certified as an experienced advanced integral eye movement therapist and run sessions for clients who experience adult single trauma events.
