My journey to today
Jo Mitchell
I’ve worked in education for over 30 years; as a class teacher, Special Needs Co-ordinator, Deputy Head, Head Teacher and a Specialist Teacher. I believe I am compassionate, creative, and resourceful. Finding ways to enable every child to reach full potential and be 'happy in their skin' is my core purpose.
I am deeply passionate about supporting the emotional well being of all children and I recognise that the educational environment is not always helpful for every child. Whilst the systems are difficult to change, I can support children and their parents with strategies to successfully manage them.
What I do
Blending educational expertise and transformative coaching
Throughout my career, I have seen and been touched by so many unique stories.
My journey into coaching began six years ago when I experienced the transformative power of coaching for myself. I recognised the profound impact it could have on children and families. It compelled me to want to find out more, and put what I had learned into practice for others.
​
I'm an affiliated Presence in Action Coach (PIA), and I use the P6 Constellation framework. What I love about it is that it helps develop emotional literacy and fluency, helping connect our thoughts with our feelings in a uniquely structured way. It fosters self-awareness, enhances our capacity for honest and genuine communication, reduces stress and anxiety, and strengthens our connections.
​
It's great for children and parents alike, and when used regularly, it can transform our relationships with ourselves and others.
​
Everyone has a story to tell.
I will help empower you and your child with the tools to navigate a way through life together, and to tell those stories with authenticity and courage.
