About me
John Blackburn – Coach & NLP Master Practitioner
Getting professionals unstuck, thinking clearly, and moving forward with purpose.
For people who want to feel in charge again - in life, work, and creativity.
About me
When you’re stuck, overthinking, or running on autopilot, even small decisions can feel heavy. Coaching helps people clear that fog - to think straight, feel energised, and take confident action again.
My clients range from professionals and freelancers to people in live entertainment and the arts - those under constant pressure to perform, make decisions in uncertainty, and create on demand. That pressure can easily lead to burnout, self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from what originally inspired you.
Coaching is about getting back in control of your mindset, habits, and direction - so you can work, create and live with balance, clarity, and confidence.
What you'll get
You can hear directly from clients by scrolling down to the video section below - several have shared what their sessions were like and how the work helped them move forward.
My approach combines coaching with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) - a practical way of changing how you think and feel, so that your actions naturally follow.
NLP is a tool for creating tools. It’s about learning how your own mind works, so you can build your own strategies for confidence, motivation, focus, calm - and just about anything else you can think of!
Sessions are conversational, structured and collaborative. You’ll leave each one with practical actions and a clearer sense of how to manage yourself between sessions. Clients often say the process feels “light but powerful” and that it helps them finally stop fighting themselves.
What to expect
You’ll start with a one-to-one session over Zoom. Together we’ll map where you are, what you want to change, and what’s been getting in the way.
Whether you want to:
• Build consistency and follow-through
• Make a decision you’ve been circling for too long
• Manage stress and pressure more effectively
• Reignite creative or professional motivation
• Feel calm, clear and confident again
…we’ll work in a way that’s tailored to you. Clients often notice immediate shifts - more energy, better focus, lighter thinking - and longer-term changes in how they approach both challenges and opportunities.
