Ready to Unlock Your Potential?
Let’s start your journey today.
My journey isn’t just built on academic expertise—it’s shaped by real-life challenges, resilience, and transformation. I understand how setbacks, uncertainty, and self-doubt can hold us back, but I also know that with the right mindset and strategies, change is possible.
With years of experience as a practitioner, researcher, published author, and former Deputy Head for Education and Student Experience at the University of Brighton’s School of Business and Law, I’ve supported countless individuals in achieving academic success, career growth, and personal breakthroughs.
But my approach goes beyond traditional coaching. I bridge the gap between academic research and real-life transformation, combining psychology, personal resilience, and confidence-building techniques. I challenge individuals to move beyond overthinking, unlock self-awareness as a tool for growth, and take bold, meaningful action.

I can thoroughly recommend Julie as a life coach having worked collaboratively with her for over twenty-five years. At Brighton Business School we drove forward a skills development programme covering personal, academic and employability skills whilst focusing on students’ personal development to improve their chances of ultimate success. This led us to co-author two editions of our book, How to Succeed at University (2009 & 2015) for Sage Publications, again covering personal, academic and employability skills. During this time we were concerned with our own personal development which involved a high level of mutual support and encouragement. We also gave attention to developing our team members and other colleagues and in some cases initiating research projects with them. More recently we have contributed online materials to Sage Skills ‘Student Success’ website. Julie has many skills and life experiences to draw upon. As a life coach I see her as an empathetic communicator with a remarkable ability to bring clarity of thinking to others supporting development.
I am very happy to recommend Julie as a coach, as she will help you succeed, whatever your endeavour! I was very lucky to work with Julie at the School of Business & Law where we not only established a fruitful research partnership but where Julie provided me with a wealth of coaching and guidance that helped me to develop as an academic when I returned to lecturing. Julie used her depth and breadth of knowledge in the areas of personal and professional development, emotional intelligence and leadership to provide expert mentoring that allowed me to grow in confidence in my new position. Never afraid to ask challenging questions to get to the heart of the matter, Julie will use her expertise to provide you with insights into your academic and professional development and help you set achievable goals that enable you to keep moving forward.
I had the pleasure of working alongside Julie for five years, and I can confidently say she is one of the most empathetic, diligent, and approachable professionals I have ever met. With a strong background in the People Profession and a deep understanding of Emotional Intelligence, she has always been a natural coach—guiding, supporting, and uplifting those around her.
At work, Julie was incredibly hands-on, ensuring that both her colleagues and students felt heard and valued. Her ability to navigate complex workplace dynamics with grace and emotional insight made a significant impact on staff morale and their sense of belonging. She has an innate talent for helping people unlock their potential, offering not just advice but true transformation. She was my mentor when I joined the business school, and I learned so much simply by observing her. As a mentor, Julie genuinely cared, listened deeply, and provided thoughtful guidance.
I have no doubt that she will be an excellent life coach, and I wholeheartedly recommend her!
