"Every journey, honestly undertaken, stands a chance of taking us toward the place where our deep gladness meets the world’s deep need." - Parker Palmer |
Work together
Having recently relocated from London to Melbourne, I now offer in-person services across East coast Australia (predominantly Melbourne), while online work with clients across the English-speaking world will continue as before.
If you are interested in in-person facilitation outside of this, please contact me so we can determine what is practical in the current circumstances.
Helping You Find and Follow Your Unique Thread
Life coaching
Within life coaching I support people who are navigating transitions and times of change. Although the nature of the transition and the ‘presenting problem’ varies, what lies beneath is often a desire to connect and live from a deeper sense of self and purpose – where values, strengths, meaning, relationships and contribution align.
Coaching is not about me telling you the answers, but helping you listen and grow your own inner voice and then tune into the wider system. Through a process of deepening awareness, intentionally inviting what nourishes you, and creative ways of mapping patterns and hidden dynamics in the wider whole, you are able to find your place – your unique thread – and see how it stretches from the past to the present and into the future.
Primarily Gestalt-focused, I also integrate Systemic Coaching and Constellations, LEGO Serious Play, and nature-based settings where appropriate and desired.
The relationship between coach and coachee is one of the most significant factors in effective coaching. I offer a free no-obligation 45 minute discovery call for us to jointly clarify what you want from coaching, my approach, and whether we wish to work together. If you would like to book a call, please get in touch.
Leading from the Inside Out
Leadership coaching
I support leaders to lead with confidence, awareness and compassion.
With over a decade’s successful experience creating and leading high-performance teams in high stakes environments, I have walked my talk.
Through 1:1 coaching, leaders are invited on a journey beginning where all transformation begins – within ourselves.
This inner journey of self-discovery, in combination with the best practices from management, neuroscience and psychology, gives leaders the confidence to lead themselves and their teams with clarity, courage and compassion.
If you are interested in leadership coaching for your organisation, or yourself, it is important to understand the fit between your needs and my approach, as well as rapport between coach and coachee. Please get in touch to book a complimentary discovery call.

Rehumanising Work through Play
Team facilitation
"Values-based leadership and attention to community are always smart, but now they are mandatory" - Jamil Zaki |
I work with teams to facilitate conversations that strengthen team performance and relationship.
By exploring purposeful alignment and resonant relationships, individuals experience a sense of mattering, teams engage in more meaningful work, and leaders are able to see new patterns in the kaleidoscope of work – enabling individual and collective thriving even in adversity.
These conversations are facilitated through LEGO Serious Play and grounded in Gestalt and Systemic Constellations approaches – find out more in my blog.
Please get in touch to discuss a bespoke package for your organisation.

Testimonials
I could do this again and again
"It is an approach that is rich in content, accommodating as an methodology, elicits critical thinking effortlessly, and a lot of fun! As an educator, it was intriguing to see how one can weave in the 21st Century skills of collaboration, critical thinking, communication and team work."
A light activity with deep impact
"If you are curious about how playing with purpose might help you and your team, I encourage you to connect with Joanna. Her skilful facilitation and insight made a light activity have deep impact - and she is just an all-round incredible human."
Finding hidden strength in imperfection
“The series of sessions helped me reassess my approach to work and life, and changed very fundamental aspects in my perception of myself and the environment…It was aimed at a certain goal in my career and, on top of achieving it, unveiled some bigger things… I am savouring the change, and I am curious about more results of these changes that will emerge with time.”
Put me at ease with what I was feeling
"Joanna’s questioning enabled me to really open up and get to the root cause of what I perceived was my problem. The journey over the three months we worked together has put me in a more confident place with my work and in a better place to deal with potential challenges that lie ahead."
