Julia is a visiting tutor for the Henley Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching, Professional Certificate in Coaching Supervision and MSc in Coaching for Behavioural Change. She is an accredited Master Practitioner Coach with the EMCC, a Professional Certified Coach with the ICF and an accredited coaching supervisor. Julia spent the first 10 years of her career as an officer in the Royal Navy, after which she specialized in assessment and development centre work, alongside learning and development. Julia runs her own coaching and supervision practice, working with leaders from across the public and private sectors. Her special area of interest is self-awareness and how to understand all aspects of identity; this sees her work focusing on self-awareness, so that individuals have more choice and develop self-acceptance to be more effective leaders and contentment with who they are as a person. Julia has recently completed her PhD research exploring the role of self-awareness in the development of the coach.

Julia completed the Henley MSc in Executive Coaching and Behavioural Change in 2014. Alongside her PhD and MSc she is a NLP Master Practitioner, an accredited Time to Think Coach, a Fellow of the CIPD, and is licensed to use MBTI, Lumina Spark, OPQ and 16PF. Julia draws on a wide range of psychological dimensions in her coaching work; including the Time to Think, Gestalt and psychodynamic approaches. She is passionate about her own CPD and enjoys the challenge and reflection her regular supervision brings.

Outside of work Julia enjoys spending time with her husband and supporting her son in his budding eventing career.
