About me
Hi there, I’m Jo.
I specialize in helping parents and teens navigate anxiety and build lasting confidence and resilience.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an ICF-Certified Coach with a Master’s in Psychology. My journey began as a teacher and senior pastoral leader, where I spent over a decade supporting young people’s mental well-being. In that role, I led mental health initiatives, trained staff, and developed evidence-based interventions that helped hundreds of students overcome anxiety and build resilience.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I witnessed firsthand how anxiety and uncertainty affected our young people. I collaborated with students, parents, and external agencies to develop and implement strategies that made a real difference. This experience provided me with deep insight into what truly works when it comes to supporting teens facing anxiety and emotional challenges.
Building on my experience as a teacher and leader, I went on to pursue coaching and earned a Master’s in Psychology to deepen my understanding of mental health and emotional resilience. Now, as a coach, I specialize in helping both teens and parents break free from anxiety for good.
Does this resonate with you?
Is your teen struggling with anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm?
You may feel powerless to help them manage their emotions and anxious thoughts, leaving you both feeling frustrated and disconnected.
Does your teen lack confidence or feel misunderstood?
You want to help them feel more secure in who they are, but you don’t know how to bridge the gap between your efforts and their resistance.
Is communication with your teen challenging?
When your teen shuts you out or you feel like you're not being heard, it’s hard to know what to say or how to approach tough topics.
Are you concerned about their future or mental well-being?
You’re worried about their lack of direction, their fear of failure, or the pressures they face socially and academically.
Do you feel overwhelmed trying to balance support with discipline?
You want to set healthy boundaries while still being compassionate, but it’s difficult to find the right balance.
I offer a transformative coaching program designed to help parents support their teen through anxiety, self-doubt, and stress, while fostering better communication and emotional resilience in your family.
Through this program, your teen will:
- Learn how to manage anxiety and stress by understanding the nature of thought and how the mind works.
- Build self-esteem and confidence by shifting their perspective on failure and perfectionism, and teaching them how to embrace growth.
- Develop emotional resilience and gain tools to navigate peer pressure, social anxiety, and challenging situations with confidence.
- Gain clarity and motivation for the future, reducing feelings of uncertainty and fostering a healthier mindset.
For parents, the program provides:
- Tools and strategies to communicate more effectively with your teen, ensuring you understand each other and can have open, honest conversations.
- Practical ways to support your teen’s mental health by learning how to manage their anxiety and stress, and offering the right support without becoming overwhelmed.
- Guidance on setting healthy boundaries while maintaining a loving, supportive relationship.
- Confidence in your parenting approach, knowing you’re empowering your teen to handle challenges, make decisions, and grow with your support.

Testimonials
"I felt lost when my son started suffering with anxiety. It has been so nice to have someone to talk to about it. Jo is very experienced and knows teenagers. She’s done wonders with *Toby*. He’s more confident and has started socialising more. All in all, Jo has helped both of us no end.” Kelly
“There are not enough words in the English language -- especially the ones I know, to express my gratitude. I had hoped for some kind of help but honestly and truly I didn’t think it was possible to feel so much lighter, and feel confident and calm! I have never known such a powerful OK before. Each day, I have been feeling more and more secure and comfortable.
Your TIME, your PATIENCE, your words, your honesty and your wisdom are exactly what I needed and were exactly what I got. You are a truly magnificent being Jo and I am eternally grateful.” Natasha
"Jo’s coaching has been life-changing for both me and my daughter. I no longer feel like we’re worlds apart. She’s more open, confident, and calm. The whole program has been great.” Fiona
“I had lost all of my self-confidence and I was struggling with my daughters in every sense. Working with Jo has been an absolute pleasure from the word go. Jo has helped me to see things differently and to approach my life in a totally new way: wow has it been revolutionary. I now feel empowered and content. The most important lesson I have learnt though is that whatever happens in life, I will be ok. Jo has not only solved the issues that I went through the door with but she has helped me to find a way to know that I will be able to solve my own problems going forward. Jo has exceeded my expectations in every respect and friends and family keep telling me how different me and the girls are and how happy we seem. I cannot thank Jo enough for everything that she has helped me with and I would thoroughly recommend Jo to anyone. I feel that whatever your feelings or your problems, Jo can and will have a positive effect. Thank you so much!” Lottie
“I found working with Jo really amazing, life changing actually. I didn’t realise that it wasn’t the law that you didn’t have to worry. So now I don’t. I've gone from feeling insecure, to feeling an innate confidence that I hadn't felt in such a long time.
Jo has got a way about her that I could connect with and understand really easily. Once it went in, I had massive light bulb moments! It’s changed the way I think. I can’t recommend her enough.” Stephen
“I realsied how much pressure I was putting on myself and my daughter. I kept worrying about her future and it was exhausting. I see *Jess* in a new way now, I see her health and how well she’s doing. I would highly recommend Jo’s program.” Laura
“I felt paralysed. I was struggling with negative self-talk, sensitivity and low self-esteem. Now I really feel I have taken my life back to be honest. I feel optimistic, more connected to my kids., and more confident in my abilities at work.
Your approach is completely different from anything I’ve done before. I cannot believe my luck, it has completely and utterly changed my life. The way I feel now is just so liberating. There is a better way to live. You gave me that insight and I’ll be forever grateful.” Jed Barnes
“When I met Jo, it was her calm energy and joy that she exuded that I noticed. She is the perfect example of inner peace. Jo came into my life at a very critical time and her energy and presence helped me look inside myself for answers and the courage to see things in a different light. She's changed my whole families life. Being in Jo's company feels calm and safe.” Carla
"This changed everything for me. It’s been really wonderful. Jo has such a warm, laid-back approach. It seems like you are not doing anything, yet magic happens. It’s been a privilege being in this program and seeing the change in myself. It’s amazing how in the last few months the shift in me has been enormous. I didn’t realise how much was going on in my mind, now that energy has freed up, I am so productive. Life is so easy. I’m relaxed and enjoying my family more. It’s incredible. Sign up! Do it! It’s as simple as that. It’s life changing! Lindsey
