I’m Melanie Jones and I’m a professional and personal coach. After an early post-graduate career running my own business as a graphic designer and a translator / copywriter, I studied for a Masters Degree in Counselling. An imaginative friend (another coach) recognised some value in this apparently unlikely combination, made a few subtle suggestions, delivered several gentle prods, and I was away. Though still working part-time as a counsellor, I have been a coach now since 1997, working with corporate (to Board level, public and private sector) clients, as well as people who have sought out coaching to address personal goals.
I believe that my strength as a coach lies in building a solid, supportive relationship with my clients and quickly gaining insight into their particular concerns and requirements. I have been told that I have a knack for hearing the unspoken, which I imagine comes partly from training as a counsellor but also from feeling much more comfortable as observer / listener than protagonist. An awareness of how tough it can be at times to get up there on the big stage of life undoubtedly underlies my approach. However, as I have also been told that I have “a terrier-like tenacity when it comes to ensuring courage follows conviction”. Apparently that means that I don’t let people off too lightly!
If you want to experience coaching with me, please contact us and we’ll set up a free trial coaching session.
