Coaching for deeply thoughtful and sensitive humans

Hi, I'm Joanne...

I'm a PCC credentialed coach and an HSP myself, with 20 years' experience coaching individuals, leaders and professionals. My approach is relational and trauma-informed. My gift is in listening deeply, creating a safe space to think out loud, and knowing when a different perspective, question or approach might be useful.

You might be here because...

• You're overwhelmed or facing burnout.

• You hold complexity well and don't need things oversimplified.

• You can sit with paradox rather than needing a clean answer.

• You feel and process things deeply - maybe you already call this being an HSP, maybe you don't - and you want a coach who understands that either way.

• You've done the inner work already, this isn't about basics.

• Something about your work, workplace, relationships or circumstances isn’t working.

• You're looking for space to think at the level you actually think and someone you can speak to freely.

You don't have to work it all out on your own.

I help deeply thoughtful and sensitive people find greater clarity, confidence and courage.

You may already have spent a lot of time thinking about what's going on. You may have read, reflected, talked to friends, worked with a therapist or coach, or simply tried to figure it out yourself.

And still, sometimes, we go around in circles.

Human brains aren't designed to work everything out in isolation. We need other people to think with. Someone who can listen deeply, hold complexity, ask different questions, notice our patterns and blind spots, challenge assumptions gently, and, when needed, invite us towards places that might feel too risky to venture alone.

When you've outgrown simple frameworks

Some people come to coaching already having done a lot of self-work, therapy and development. What they are looking for isn't a framework, but someone who can be with them: a safe person to talk to outside their roles, families and friends, who can think with them at the level of complexity and lived experience in which they are already operating.

When high sensitivity is part of the picture

Some people are born with the highly sensitive person (HSP) trait which means they process deeply, and notice a lot. This can bring depth, awareness and care, but it can also make difficult environments, sustained pressure or values conflicts particularly intense.
I see high sensitivity as a way of experiencing the world, with its own gifts and challenges. Understanding it can help make sense of what's happening, and help you make choices that fit you better.

How we’d work together

I offer single session coaching, 60 minutes, my full attention and presence. There's no programme to sign up for and no pressure to return. For some one session is enough, and others come back, often monthly, for regular support.

After our session, I'll send you notes: my reflections, resources, and ideas, by email, usually within 48 hours.

Sessions are on Zoom.

$275 USD (or equivalent in your currency).

If you'd like some space to think this through, let's talk.
