JK (Jennie-Kate) McQuinn

I love to work with you if you find yourself at a transition or choice in life that you are just feeling confused or overwhelmed with, or leaves you feeling lost in direction or choice. 

This might relate to wellbeing, career, life decisions and changes or could be related to an experience of loss or adversity. Whether that happened in the past,  is happening for you right now or happening soon. 

Our focus together is on helping you define what is stuck and what you want to change. Because sometimes even that feels difficult to know. 

I'll help you understand the key beliefs around the issue, some of which might not be obvious to you right now - this is where coaching can help with clarity. 

We'll address inner critics and self sabotaging patterns that might show up and get in the way of the life you want or the behaviours that would help you.  

If emotional stuff feels like its out of control or you get stuck with stress, worry, overanalysing or self doubting thoughts and feelings. We'll make space to create techniques and actions to help you shift this. 

With neuroscience to help you understand mind and body connections more deeply, so you feel more connected and confident with what shows up and how to deal with it. (Because life isn't fixed, it is ever changing and we might not have been taught how to handle that change and the feelings that go with it!)

We'll look at where you feel you have confidence, and where you need help to feel at your best. Nurturing strengths that already exist, rather than having to begin everything from scratch. 

If everything had just got too busy and full. Coaching helps you slow things down and create intentional rhythms (or at least the way we coach together does!)

Together sessions can help you understand how the past might inform your present and future, without having to dwell too deeply on that, as we look at ways to take steps forward and do so with more ease, energy and freedom. 

Often when people are at a crossroads of decisions, choices or just a bit stuck. Or have faced a big life event like loss, grief, adversity or a life change like redundancy, divorce/relationship break down or something else that changes it all for you. Coaching will offer you the space to really understanding what you value and what you need from life to feel happy, healthy and fulfilled. Looking at both short and long term goals. 

If you've tried and failed at stuff,  or are dealing with guilt and shame around your decisions;  I'll support  you to turn this into something useful and less disruptive, so you can learn to trust yourself and others again. Restore self-belief and confidence and learn from what has gone before to help make you wiser and better in tune with yourself. Learning to practice curiosity and compassion for your inner world, as well as that around you. 

I work with both men and women 18+. Put simply, you are just seeking a simple and beautiful life. You'd like to find ease and flow. Create good memories and life experiences. You want more time to be creative or 'more yourself' and might feel like some of the parts of you, feel lost, hidden, tamed or confused. Stories about being 'good enough' too much or not enough, might be part of your inner discomfort and sessions can help you make peace with valuing your uniqueness, support consistency and help you show up for yourself. 

 You'd like to have more energy and be able to feel like choices, decisions, the day to day and your life and career are heading in a positive direction. (I want this for you too!)

You realise some life experiences have had an impact on your well-being. This might be around upbringing, changes, health, or devastating things that happened. 

When you are honest with yourself, there is a desire for life to look a little different to now and that may be because the recent events have made you re-evaluate life and you can feel a little pressure not to waste time, and create change for the better. 

You might be sick of having to talk about the same issues over and over again and feel like you are on a loop with it all. This might be impacting relationships or feelings of connection to your purpose. Or causing distraction or restless nights sleep. 

The good news is, I have been working with people like you for nearly 10 years now as a coach. 

We focus on your whole self, not just the symptoms or one part of your world. Understanding that things might be inter-connected. 

We zoom in and zoom out, because it can all feel too much some time, that that keeps things stuck. 

Or you've become so focused on the detail, that this focus on control means nothing can change right now

Working in Nature or/and online means you have the space where we just look at you and your world. Time and energy to focus on what matters and help you change what needs to be different. 

I noticed that everyone comes with something slightly different to sessions, as unique as each client is. But underneath it all is a feeling of grief, and sadness for something, that often cultivates in shame or guilt too and causes anxiety and frustration (that just keeps looping) because your situation just isn't where you want it to be right now, and acknowledging that is such a HUGE part of it beginning to change. 

Let's change that together. With hope, creativity and leave more joy, freedom and ease in your life. 

That might mean we have to help you change a whole lot. Or it might just be a few subtle tweaks.  That's why people typically work with me for anything from 3-12 session depending on what you need help with to change. 

Find out more about how are sessions will be together, and  if we are excited to work together on this (Because we probably both need to be excited about the opportunity together)

 I offer a free discovery call for anyone curious about coaching together in nature or online. 

You're getting real, honest human connection with me. 

We work in the wild, because sessions offer your a break from your norm and our environment helps supports that. 

No AI coach doing my work for you and over looking to nuances of your individual human self. Just a trusted experienced human alongside you, for connection, reflection and to help you with direction.

As a Nature-led coach I work out in Nature, in a private woods or from public park spaces for walk and talk sessions. I also offer sessions online. 

People who are experiencing feelings of burnout, stress, anxiety or low mood, or those who require sensory regulation (for example due to neurodivergence) may value the sessions in Nature as the natural world can support emotional regulation and also enables you to think, focus and problem solve in a more relaxed way - making conversations and coaching activities feel more natural and easy to explore as you feel more resourced around a busy life. 

As an employability worker before becoming a life/career/wellbeing coach. I have a vast experience of helping people whose wellbeing is impacted at work due to stress, culture challenges, conflicting relationships, bullying and self esteem experiences or lack of motivation or trust. 

Our sessions can help you to understand whether you want to develop skills to stay in your role or if you need help changing roles. 

I can provide employer funded and access to work funded coaching sessions. As well as privately funded sessions. 

I am also an Advanced practitioner in Integral Eye Movement Technique which can be helpful for strong emotions, beliefs that feel stuck or dealing with aspect of your identity that you feel contribute to challenges in your life, or prevent you from reaching your goals. 

As a Nature-Led regenerative life and career coach I also specialise in helping people with hope and purposefulness in the face of eco-anxiety or fear and uncertainty about the future of our planet and social systems. 

I offer a range of pay-as-you-go and coaching package options for one to one and couples coaching (career/life, well-being and self-leadership) 

As well as retreats and events - for those looking for group opportunities. 

Pricing above includes Pay As You Go Option. Packages and Personalised Retreats - Some packages include payment plans. 

We'll use the discovery call to help you understand which option might best fit your circumstances. 

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.
