My name is Jan Kassell and I am a fully qualified coach and hold a professional diploma in Coaching from NCFE. I have had my own Coaching Practice for over five years and have experience of working with a wide range of issues, specialising in personal development such as self-esteem, confidence and life purpose and frequently work with clients experiencing low mood and anxiety.  I coach privately and work for organisations such as Surestart, supporting young mums.

My core approach is to work with your belief system and your thinking to help free you up to experience yourself, your relationships and your life more fully. I am most interested in the techniques used in cognitive behavioural therapy as a way of helping you to think about yourself and your life in a more effective way as a means to unblocking unhappiness and lack of movement in your life.

I have a varied career of over 15 years including working in Health and Social Care and in Education, this has enabled me to work with a whole range of people from children to the elderly who have their own individual issues. I have a great deal of experience and expertise in working in a solution-focused way, in other words working out ways to solve difficulties, whatever they may be.

I have experienced a range of challenging and difficult life experiences and this has enabled me to truly work with all of my clients in an non-judgemental and open-minded way.

I am committed to Mental Health issues and hope that the Coaching I provide goes someway to preventing common mental health issues such as stress and low mood and certainly towards maintaining good mental health and wellbeing. I am a Trustee on Mind’s management committee; an excellent mental health organisation.

Be assured that all my coaching sessions are confidential.
