Life Coach
About Joanna
As a former nurse, mother of three, and qualified coach with an MSc in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with their strengths and create lives that feel meaningful and fulfilling.
My background in healthcare taught me the value of compassion, resilience, and truly listening to people, while motherhood deepened my understanding of life’s challenges, growth, and constant balancing act. Today, I combine those experiences with evidence-based coaching to support others in building confidence, wellbeing, and positive change.
Positive psychology is the science of what helps people flourish — focusing on strengths, mindset, resilience, happiness, and purpose. I love bringing these powerful tools into my coaching in a way that feels practical, supportive, and deeply human.
Clients often describe me as warm, insightful, encouraging, and easy to talk to. I believe everyone has the capacity to grow and thrive with the right support, and I feel privileged to walk alongside people as they discover what’s possible for them.

What to Expect
What can I expect from Coaching?
Before we start you will have explained what you would like to be coached on through our discovery call and we will have exchanged contracts and terms and conditions. We will be clear about our route forward. If you have any questions feel free to ask at any time.
Although I am a Mental Health Nurse I will not be providing a Counselling or Therapy session, although if it becomes clear that this would be the best route for you then I will signpost to an appropriate agency.
What do you, as a Coach, expect from me?
I would be grateful if you turned up to our agreed session on time and prepared to be coached. If you are unsure or unclear about anything I would actively encourage you to ask- there are no daft questions!
There might be times when you have to dig deep and do some hard work (emotionally or mentally). This can be anxiety provoking but I encourage you to do it – I don’t mind if there are tears!!
