Why ProAge matters
I bring more than 40 years’ experience across corporate, government, agency and entrepreneurial environments, including over 30 years building and leading businesses.
I understand the responsibility of senior roles, the isolation of difficult decisions and the challenge of balancing work with the rest of life.
At 57, I began asking different questions. I hadn’t lost my ambition or ability, but my priorities were changing. Rather than wind down, I chose to use everything I had learned differently and retrained as an Executive Coach at Henley Business School.
That experience shaped ProAge.
To me, ProAge means valuing your experience, staying open to change and making deliberate choices about how you want to work and live.
Today, I coach senior professional women who need space to think, clarity about what comes next or support to make an important change last. My role is to help you make confident choices and move forward in a way that works for you.

Testimonials
Discover how my coaching has helped others find clarity, confidence and fulfilment. Their experiences might just inspire your own next step.
Jackie created a safe space where I could honestly explore the issues that had been holding me back for years. Her direct, insightful approach challenged my thinking, helped me recognise the success I'd earned, break old patterns and gave me the clarity and confidence to move forward with purpose.
Working with Jackie gave me a new perspective on both my life and myself. Her coaching challenged me to think more deeply, reflect differently and ultimately take a significant step forward in this next stage of my life. I've learned so much from our sessions and feel better equipped to move forward with confidence knowing what I want.
Looking back to where I started, compared with where I am now, it really does feel like night and day. I'm so much more confident and positive, and that's thanks to Jackie, who gave me the space to think clearly, challenge my thinking and find the direction that was right for me.
Jackie's coaching has been a truly transformative experience. Without our sessions, I'm sure I would have felt far more anxious and stressed about my work and where I was heading. Instead, I now feel so much more confident and in control of my future, ironically because I've learned to embrace uncertainty rather than fear it.
Working with Jackie helped me overcome the beliefs that had been holding me back. Her coaching has had a profound impact on both my confidence and the way I approach my work. I genuinely enjoy what I do so much more as a result, and I'm incredibly grateful for her thoughtful and sincere approach.
At the end of a 35-year Armed Forces career, Jackie provided invaluable guidance at a critical point in my transition. Always professional, kind and discreet, she worked at my pace while offering thoughtful challenge and compassionate, balanced feedback. Her insight gave me the confidence and clarity I needed to move forward.
Following my appointment to a number of external boards, I wanted to develop my leadership style and strengthen my self-belief. Jackie's supportive, direct and, at times, challenging approach kept me honest while helping me grow in confidence and gain a deeper understanding of myself. It was an incredibly valuable experience.
Think clearly
When you’re the person others rely on, it can be difficult to find space to think about what you need.
You may be dealing with a leadership challenge, weighing up an important decision or simply sensing that something isn’t working as well as it could. When you’re close to a situation, it’s not always easy to see it clearly.
Coaching gives you a confidential space to step back, question established patterns and consider the situation from a different perspective. You don’t need to arrive with a clearly defined goal. Sometimes the first step is having the space to work out what really needs your attention.
Shape what's next
Change doesn’t always mean leaving a career, role or life behind. It may mean approaching things differently, reconnecting with what matters or acknowledging that what once felt right no longer fits the person you are today.
The experience you’ve gained gives you judgement, perspective and a clearer understanding of what you do and don’t want. It also gives you more choices, even when those choices aren’t immediately obvious.
Together, we can explore what is changing, recognise the strengths you already have and intentionally shape what comes next around the life you want to live now.
Make change last
Knowing what you want to change is often the easy part. Staying with it when work becomes demanding or life gets busy is where many good intentions begin to unravel.
That doesn’t necessarily mean you lack motivation or willpower. You may need a clearer focus, a more realistic structure or support that helps you keep moving when progress feels difficult.
With the right structure and accountability, change becomes more manageable and consistent. The aim is not to make you dependent on coaching, but to help you build the habits, confidence and momentum to continue for yourself.
