How I Work
My work begins with trust. I create confidential, reflective spaces where individuals, leaders, professionals, and boards can explore what’s happening beneath the surface. The patterns, pressures, and possibilities that shape how they think and act.
Each conversation is guided by curiosity, care, and integrity. My role is to help you slow down, see clearly, and take purposeful action that leads to lasting change.

1:1 Executive Coaching
For leaders seeking deeper insight into their patterns, motivations, and decision-making to create change that lasts.
Leadership brings both privilege and pressure. Through one-to-one executive coaching, I offer a steady, confidential space to reflect on challenges, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with purpose.
Together, we explore what drives you, the stories, assumptions, and dynamics that influence your work, and develop ways of leading that are grounded, authentic, and sustainable. Coaching is available online or face to face and can include work with leadership teams where group dynamics come into play.
What We Can Explore
- Leading through uncertainty and transition
- Building confidence and managing self-doubt
- Working productively with ADHD or high emotional load
- Navigating difficult conversations and team relationships
- Restoring motivation, balance, and wellbeing
What You Can Expect
- Greater clarity and perspective in complex situations
- Stronger emotional regulation and confidence in decision-making
- Healthier relationships with self, colleagues, and the ‘why’ of your work.
- Sustainable wellbeing and renewed energy for leadership

Board Reviews
Supporting boards to strengthen relationships, sharpen focus, and align around the purpose that drives effective governance.
Every board is a living system, shaped by relationships, roles, and culture. My reviews explore these dynamics to reveal how decisions are made, how trust is built, and where clarity is needed.
Through one-to-one interviews, tailored surveys, and thematic analysis, I help boards gain insight into performance, purpose, and culture. The process provides practical feedback and clear steps to improve accountability, strengthen relationships, and govern with confidence.
What We Can Explore
- Board and executive dynamics
- Clarity of purpose and role distinction (board and committees)
- Board performance and accountability
- Chair and leadership effectiveness
- Governance of organisational culture
What You Can Expect
- Improved decision-making and strategic focus
- Healthier relationships between board, CEO, and executive team
- Renewed culture of trust, respect, and reflection
- Enhanced performance and community confidence
“Joy combines deep governance insight with an extraordinary ability to see the whole system, guiding boards toward real transformation.”
Change Counselling
Helping individuals and organisations navigate times of uncertainty with reflection, steadiness, and renewed purpose.
Change often stirs confusion, grief, or resistance. I help people work through these experiences with understanding and care. Whether you are facing professional transition, personal loss, or systemic change, counselling provides a safe, non-judgemental space to reflect, process, and move forward.
Sessions are available online or face to face. My approach draws on frameworks that help you understand the patterns that shape your responses and develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and clarity.
What We Can Explore
- Life transitions, retirement, or role changes
- Grief, loss, trauma, or burnout
- Navigating conflict or relational breakdowns
- Living and working with ADHD, dementia, or chronic stress
What You Can Expect
- Emotional relief and stability in times of disruption
- Clarity of purpose and direction
- Healthier coping strategies and behavioural change
- A sense of renewal and confidence to move forward
“Joy’s unique combination of insight, systems thinking, and reflective practice helps people connect dots they haven’t seen before — and to make lasting change.”
