My Story
I had a tough childhood and slipped into drugs and alcohol at a very young age. I was anorexic, bulimic, depressed and suffered terrible anxiety and cripplingly low self-esteem. Finding comfort in my addictions, I spent my time functioning badly or in total isolation. I simply couldn’t handle life.
In my mid-twenties, I hit rock bottom and couldn’t continue. I decided something had to change. No matter what it took I was going to transform my life. Somewhere deep down inside I knew I was here for much more. I tried different forms of therapy but felt no one ‘got it’, that no one really understood me. So I decided to start studying and find a way to help myself.
From the day I made that change I haven’t looked back. Over the last 20 years, I’ve studied all over the world and along my path I have come across people desperate for advice and guidance just as I had been years before. They turned to me asking for help. Having been there myself, I found it easy to appreciate the battles they were fighting. More and more people approached me and it became evident my coaching practice had to be set up.
These days I grab life with both hands and believe strongly that anything is possible. I believe that we can do or be or have anything we want once we truly manage our mind. Each experience from my own story taught me so much. I am grateful for every single lesson and now get to give back.
I began my formal studies at the exclusive Bennett Stellar University in Florida, USA. I went on to train further in the ‘Austin Method’ of Advanced Structured Hypnotherapy in London, England and then continued my studies at the prestigious Life Coach School. I also trained as a Health Coach at the IIN. As important as these formal qualifications are my life experience and intuition are key to my success. I am an advocate of the works of Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson and Dr Wayne Dyer.
Having trained extensively in a number of different techniques from Advanced Structured Hypnotherapy, NLP and CBT (essentially methods of changing thought processes to eliminate negative behaviour) to life coaching, weight coaching and health coaching, I work with clients from all over the world who feel stuck, unable to change patterns of behaviour or move forward with issues and problems.
I use a variety of tools and techniques, unique to each client, to help them release anything and everything that is holding them back so they get free and feel fabulous. I help people help themselves.

I tell my clients the truth: the truth that other people will not tell them. I help people see the downside of being mean to themselves. I challenge any held belief that is not in my client’s best interest. I pull my clients up on the lies that they are telling themselves. I help my clients show up when they want to quit. I help my clients act from a place of love rather than fear. I ask my clients to reach for more of themselves. I help people figure out exactly what they need to do in order to change.
EXCELLENT Based on 117 reviews HC BM2025-01-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently worked with Jacqueline and it has been truly life-changing. Her guidance, insight/intuition, empathy and genuine care have helped me identify strengths I didn’t even know I had! Every session felt like a haven to explore, grow and thrive. Furthermore, Jacqueline gave me practical tools that have transformed how I approach challenges in my life. I cannot recommend Jacqueline highly enough to anyone seeking clarity, growth, and lasting change. She and her work get a massive thumbs up from me. Emily Riggs2024-12-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went into my first session with Jacqueline not really knowing what to expect, however I can't believe how impactful I have already found my time with her. Jacqueline, your attention to detail is incredible and how you have picked up on things that now seem so obvious to me but I know I would never have seen them without you is amazing. Thank you so much, my thought process and awareness has changed dramatically and I now go through life completely differently. Thank you! Angela Harkness2024-11-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I decided to work with Jacqueline, it was after a particularly sad time in my life following the passing of a parent. This marked a significant change for me, as I had spent a long time caring full-time for both parents. While grieving, I felt ready to move forward with my life. I wasn’t new to personal development; I had some qualifications from a couple of decades ago and had been on a self-development journey for years. However, there were still some major blocks in my life that felt immovable. No matter how many books I read or podcasts I listened to, the limiting beliefs persisted. After doing thorough research, I chose to work with Jacqueline because she met all the criteria I was looking for in a coach. From the very first session—one of the most powerful coaching sessions I’ve ever experienced—my thinking began to shift profoundly. Jacqueline is kind yet honest and forthright, which was exactly what I needed to break the cycle of limiting thoughts that had held me back. She is a master of detail, often pointing out subtle nuances in my language and how I spoke about myself, which had a direct impact on how I was feeling and perceiving my own worth. Working with Jacqueline has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made, and I will definitely be working with her again in the near future. Sarah Ryan2024-11-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Jacqueline in advance of going back to work after staying at home for eight years to raise three children. While my expectation was that i would work with her to develop skills and routines to better equip me to manage a new full time career as well as my home life, in actual fact it ended up being so much more than that. What Jacqueline did, was equip me with a tool kit for life that cut out the massive amounts of physical and emotional energy i was wasting on what I would now call damaging or wasteful thought processes. The new manner in which i approach work, home life and my relationship has resulted in a calmer, more free headspace, and a better quality me in all areas of my life. If you're struggling, lost or just in need of a shakeup in your life i couldn't recommend Jacqueline more, you will never regret it! Nichola des Lauriers2024-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jacqueline is adept at getting to the heart of the matter. Her straight-talk approach swerves away from the pitfalls of getting lost in a whirlpool of old stories. Trust me when I say that real change can be swift and easeful! I highly recommend her work to anyone ready and willing to go beyond those pesky perceived limitations... Lauren Birt2024-10-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jacqueline has taught me that it is possible to manage my mind. Her work with me is and will continue to be life changing and I’m baffled with how much progress I’ve made with her in just 3 sessions. I will be working with her again soon! srajani2024-08-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jacqueline has truly changed my life in such a short space of time. I was skeptical as to how I’d be able to make lasting changes but Jacqueline equipped me with the tools I needed to breakthrough my limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns that I know will serve me well in any situation I come to face in the future. Jacqueline is not only the best teacher but she is kind, has so much empathy, is non-judgemental and went above and beyond to help me and make sure I was staying on track. Her friendly nature put me at ease straight away and I will definitely miss speaking to her on a weekly basis. Investing in life coaching sessions with Jacqueline is the best gift I have ever given myself.
