Jo Nash

I offer strengths-based, solution focused coaching to help you achieve your academic goals. I have twenty years of coaching experience and twenty five years teaching experience in UK post-secondary education and universities, with a specialist teaching qualification in online learning. This means I am especially skilled at equipping students with the skills they need during online coaching sessions.
First, we’ll explore the academic challenges you currently face and identify your academic goals to assess your needs. While my main subject area is psychology, I can help students in subject areas across the social sciences and humanities as I have an academic background teaching across those disciplines from secondary to postgraduate level, including supervising Masters and PhDs. Together, we will then complete a strengths assessment. Everybody has strengths whether they are aware of them or not- and most of us aren't! We then discuss how we can use your strengths to overcome your academic challenges using a range of science-based tools and exercises that are tailored to your needs. Finally, we’ll agree a schedule of coaching sessions including accountability check-ins between sessions if required.
As your coach, I also support you with emotional and cognitive challenges that can interfere with academic learning and writing. I'm a fully Accredited Member of the International Association of Coaches, Therapists and Mentors (IACTM) and adhere to their code of ethics to ensure we work together safely in a way that prioritises your needs. I also offer editing and proofreading services for those in need of extra support and confidence when submitting assessments and other written work including essays, dissertations and theses. I have helped hundreds of students achieve their academic goals. I'm a reliable clear communicator and compassionate coach, with a passion for supporting students with additional needs.
