Coaching is about looking at where you are right now, and where you’d ideally like to be in the future. It is very specific to you and it can be challenging. As therapists, we are often expert at seeing other people’s needs and blind spots, but not always our own. A good coach will encourage you to confront things that are keeping you back, hold you accountable for any changes you commit to, and be your greatest cheeleader when you find your way to that new career, home, family circumstance, whatever it is that is most important to you. If you would like to discuss coaching options, book a call and we can work out what you might need.

Our ‘Mehub’ community is a place to talk with other clinicians, share how you are feeling with people who probably feel the same, to raise questions and challenge ourselves to find solutions. If you are a clinician who is prepared to look at things a little differently, who can see a better way both for yourself and your colleagues, who is prepared to debate, with compassion in the pursuit of positive change in healthcare, please sign up to the Mehub community, come and join us.

You Matter is a podcast dedicated to you, the person behind the uniform. Join host Jo Turner, Physiotherapist and Coach, in conversations that reach to the heart of healthcare. Who are we? What do we see for the future of our professions and the wider culture of health? And how do we sustain ourselves on that journey? Click below if you’d like to listen!

Over the past few years, I’ve developed and delivered courses including Coaching Unpeeled alongside Joanne Elphinton, which brings practical coaching skills into clinical conversations, and Behind the Clinical Mask, exploring the person behind the professional role.

I love developing new ideas in response to the things clinicians and healthcare teams are actually grappling with. Future courses, workshops and perhaps the odd retreat will grow from those conversations, whether that’s around working relationships, confidence, overwhelm, communication or something I haven’t thought of yet.

If there’s a subject you think deserves some time, thought and a different kind of conversation, I’d love to hear about it.

I also offer 1:1 coaching and bespoke workshops for healthcare teams and organisations. Book a free 30-minute discovery call if you’d like to explore what might be useful for you or your team.

The diversity of roles, experiences, personalities and ways of working within healthcare teams, can be a real strength, but can also make working well together complicated.

I design bespoke, interactive workshops that help teams explore the things that can get in the way: difficult conversations, misunderstandings, lack of confidence to speak up, assumptions about each other and patterns that have become a little entrenched.

I work with organisations to understand what is actually happening in their team and design the workshop around that. Speaking Up, Stepping Forward, for example, was created for an NHS team wanting to build stronger relationships, make it easier for people to speak up when they felt unsure, and to help colleagues understand each other better.

Other teams will have different sticking points. If there’s something affecting how your team communicates, works together or handles the pressures of healthcare, we can start there and work out what would genuinely be useful.

After one recent workshop:

“The shift in people the following day was huge. People were upbeat, checking in on each other and asking how everyone was. People seemed to approach each other differently. It felt like something had lifted.”
