What is Educational Coaching?
Jacqui is a qualified life coach who works with young people seeking clarity and confidence as they make decisions about their future. Many of the conversations she supports centre around choosing the right university course, exploring career pathways, and understanding what environments they are most likely to thrive in.
Jacqui is also a certified ADHD coach, bringing specialist understanding of attention, motivation, executive functioning, and the unique challenges neurodivergent young people may face. Her approach is supportive, practical, and strengths‑based, helping students recognise how their brains work and how to use that knowledge to make decisions that feel aligned and achievable.
Coaching is all about helping young people understand themselves better — their strengths, values, motivations, and aspirations — so they can make informed choices with a sense of ownership and direction. Through structured conversations, reflective questioning, and practical tools, Jacqui creates a space where young people can explore possibilities, overcome uncertainty, and build a plan that feels authentic to who they are becoming.
Read a review from the Sixth Form College where Jacqui coached a number of students :
Jacqui was an outstanding coach for our Sixth Form students. She brought a consistently positive and encouraging approach while also providing the right level of challenge to help students truly reflect, grow and progress. Her sessions were thoughtful, well-structured and thorough, and she quickly built strong, trusting relationships with the students.
Jacqui supported them in navigating difficult and sometimes complex situations with confidence and clarity, helping them to develop resilience and self-belief. She also played a key role in helping students overcome academic hurdles, guiding them to find practical strategies and renewed motivation.
Her impact was clear, both in students’ confidence and in their mindset towards learning and challenge. Jacqui’s work has been invaluable, and I would highly recommend her as a coach.
