The Intentional Growth Path: Your Steps to Flourish
Bespoke 1:1 psychology-informed coaching for women who are done waiting and are ready to step forward with purpose.
Move beyond what holds you back and create meaningful change through a four-month 1:1 coaching journey with psychology-informed support and practical tools so you can thrive your way.
On the surface, you are doing well, but deep down you sense there is more than this.
You're allowed to want more from your life, more freedom to be yourself.
Sometimes the desire to do something differently grows from a steady rising realisation that staying where you are is starting to cost you more than the uncertainty of moving forward.
When something inside you has shifted, you can’t unsee it. Yet if you feel held in place, there is usually a reason. What makes it hard to move forward, achieve the goal or make the change is rarely a lack of willpower or effort. Often it is fear and self-doubt that limit what feels possible.
It might be past experiences that taught you to keep yourself small, or fear of what might happen in the future if you take up the space you deserve. So you stay where it feels safer even when it no longer fits.
Or perhaps it is the weight and familiarity of years spent putting yourself last. You are the capable, caring and conscientious one who keeps everything moving for others whilst your own next step keeps waiting.
It’s about giving yourself permission. You don’t have to wait for a crisis, something else or someone else and you don’t need more time to think about whether things need to change.
You need someone alongside to support you as you move, so the gap between knowing you are ready and actually getting there can begin to close.

This work is for you if you have already decided you want things to be different and you are ready to step forward with real support.
If any of this feels familiar:
You're done thinking about change and are ready to take intentional, supported steps that gather momentum.
On the surface you appear to be doing well, but underneath it feels different, as though you have lost a sense of connection to yourself.
You want to feel more like yourself again, more connected to what matters and with more freedom to be you.
You're ready to begin prioritising yourself: your self-care, your needs, your goals, your desires and your sense of joy.
You no longer want fear, self-doubt and old patterns to have the final say over what you do next.
You're ready to trust yourself again. Your voice, your intuition, your yes and your no.
You're ready to create foundations that support your growth and allow you to flourish long after our work together.
Welcome, I’m so glad you are here.
If you're ready to step onto your Intentional Growth Path, the Discovery Call is a first step where we can explore what that might look like for you.
‘I believe we have an innate drive towards healing, growth and flourishing and that so much wisdom already lives within us. In the busyness of life we can lose our way and that’s where a steady helping hand, grounded in psychological understanding, can make all the difference.’ Jo
A new way forward
You may already have tried the books, podcasts, courses and journalling prompts, perhaps even pushing yourself to feel the fear and do it anyway. If something still keeps getting in the way, it does not mean you are not trying hard enough. It often means there is something beneath the surface that needs understanding and tending to. That is a different kind of work, one that goes deeper than self-help tips or motivation.
The Intentional Growth Path is a four-month 1:1, psychology-informed coaching journey with me, Dr Jo Phillips, HCPC-registered psychologist.
Together, we work at the level where real change happens: clarifying what you are moving towards, understanding and shifting what has been holding you back and supporting you to take values-aligned action, so that the growth you create continues long after our work together ends.
Your Intentional Growth Path
This is the path we take, a journey that responds to your needs and moves at a pace that fits where you are.
Getting clear on what you are choosing to move towards in the life you want to be living
Not what you think you 'should' want, but what genuinely calls to you when you let yourself listen. The change you are ready for, what you want to reconnect with, your values, the goals you want to bring to life, what you want to see flourish and bloom.
Understanding what holds you back
Old beliefs, familiar fears, patterns you learned a long time ago that once kept you safe but now block the path, cloud your clarity or pull you off course. We make sense of these together, because understanding is often the first thing that loosens their hold.
Working with what lies beneath
This is where psychology-informed coaching goes deeper than reflection alone. We work to shift what is stuck and held beneath the surface, creating the conditions for growth and change to take root.
Building momentum and self-trust
As clarity emerges and old patterns loosen their hold, you start to move differently. Decisions feel clearer, confidence grows, and you notice belief and trust in yourself returning, with more compassion and courage alongside.
Making it last
We embed the habits, practices and self-care tools that mean your growth continues beyond our four months, supporting you to thrive your way under your own momentum.

What’s included in The Intentional Growth Path
A four-month 1:1 coaching container for personal growth and development. This is a nurturing space to plant and tend what you are choosing to grow: your intentions, your goals and the changes you want to make. This journey is designed to unfold over four months, giving you time to practise and reflect so that learning and change can strengthen, take root and bloom.
Included in your four-month container:
Six 1:1 sessions with Dr Jo, spaced in a way that fits you
A welcome pack including a copy of The Intentional Growth Book: Your Guided Journal to Nourish & Flourish
Client Hub access with resources to support you between sessions and for one year beyond
Optional brief check-in between sessions, when supportive and by agreement
Psychologist-led support from Dr Jo Phillips
What is psychology-informed coaching?
Psychology-informed coaching is a collaborative and forward-focused coaching space grounded in psychological expertise and evidence-based practice. We work with protective patterns, your nervous system needs and the inner blocks that can keep you stuck, so you can move towards your goals and create change that lasts beyond our sessions.
I draw on EMDR-informed principles and an IFS-informed parts approach where they are a good fit. This can be especially powerful when you feel held back by the past or pulled off course by fear and self-doubt about the future. It helps you step forward with more understanding, compassion and freedom to be yourself.
This work is most supportive when you are ready for growth and change and want a space to help you take the next steps. If you are unsure whether psychology-informed coaching or a more intensive therapy approach is the best fit, we can explore that together on the Discovery Call.
*EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing
*IFS: Internal Family Systems
Imagine walking your path led by you, not by what has been holding you back.
Imagine walking your path led by you, not led by what holds you back.
Speaking up, saying yes and stepping forward with clarity, self-trust and confidence.
Whether that’s trying something new, becoming more visible in your role, stepping into leadership, speaking up in the room, delivering the presentation, completing the exam, advancing in your area of expertise, or moving through imposter syndrome with more courage and self-compassion.
So you can show up at your best and take steps that feel true to you.
Client reflections
Working with Jo was a truly transformative experience for me. It gave me the space to properly reflect on what was going on in my life and the way I was functioning (there was definitely more surviving than thriving at that point!).
Through our work I was able to identify what was helping me and what was not serving me well - including an unhelpful ‘default’ belief pattern I had fallen into - enabling much more conscious and intentional decision making going forward.
Jo brought all her skills and experience to the sessions, but as importantly she brought compassion, support and a clear sense of purpose which was so important in helping me to make progress.
I cannot thank her enough or recommend her highly enough.
