Jackie Fletcher BSc (Hons) Psychology LCH Diploma Licensed career coach EFT Practitioner Level 2 (AAMET) MIPA Life Coach Helping you create and live the life you really want

Following a 22 year career in an industry where she was applying coaching skills on a daily basis, Jackie has been helping people transform their lives as a professional life coach for more than five years.

Qualifications

Jackie holds the accredited LCH Diploma after training as a Life Coach Practitioner with Curly Martin, the International Life Coach and author of 'The Life Coaching Handbook' and is a licensed career coach. She also has a Diploma in Business Performance Coaching and a Life Coaching Certificate, both from Newcastle College. Jackie recently achieved EFT Practitioner Level 2 (AAMET) and has completed Reiki levels 1 and 2. With an honours degree in Psychology from the Open University, Jackie is now training with the Coaching Supervision Academy to become a coaching supervisor. This reflects her commitment to continually broadening her portfolio of skills and techniques to enhance and develop her coaching practice.

Background and experience

Following years of soul-searching, Jackie faced the reality that her life was seriously out of balance. She knew she needed to make some major changes if she was ever going to be happy and fulfilled. It took a few months of dedicated planning before she made her escape from the corporate world in 2001 - since when she has never looked back.

Jackie had worked as an insolvency practitioner for 22 years, dealing with receiverships, liquidations, and bankruptcies - none of these very positive life experiences for the people concerned. So not only did she gain extensive business experience, she was also helping people find a way out of crisis situations, thereby naturally developing her life-coaching skills. A big realisation for Jackie in all this was that she would have to start applying these skills to herself if she was to emerge from the crisis in her own life.

This transition meant moving out of the very negative place where she was - affecting her health, her relationships and her outlook on the world. It meant doing some hard work on herself: examining how things were, how she really wanted them to be: what she had to do to make the necessary changes: and what things she had to actively lose or acquire in her life. It meant learning some difficult but valuable lessons.

One of the most important lessons Jackie learned was that she could not have done this alone - the guidance and help she received from skilled people had been crucial in the achievement of her goals. Another was that she had to discover who she truly was - her personal values and her real needs - her authentic self. Once this was clear, she was able to work with other people to help them through a similar process.

Jackie has learned that changing our lives for the better is easier than we may believe if we get the right support, guidance and encouragement. Above all, this needs to be given in a non-judgmental way. This is where our friends and loved ones may fall short.

This is not because they don't love us or care about us, but because it is hard for them to be objective and they do not necessarily have the capability to give us the right kind of help. Just as you would not let your partner perform heart surgery on you if she/he were not a trained specialist, you need a trained specialist to help you transform your life.

Jackie Fletcher is certainly a well-trained specialist in the field of Life Coaching. She's been there, she's done it, and she's living the life she always wanted - enjoying helping lots of other people do the same.

Whilst Jackie's coaching practise is based in Hampshire, UK, she has worked and continues to work with individuals from all over the UK.

"I had 12 mentor coaching sessions with Jackie, as part of my Achievement Specialists Life Coaching qualification. Without these sessions I certainly would not have made as much progress as quickly as I did, and it was very satisfying to share my success - from my first client to completion of my course and qualification. Jackie is extremely encouraging, warm, supportive, challenging in the right doses, a great listener and an invaluable source of knowledge, experience and inspiration that really helped my motivation and momentum in setting up my coaching practice. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jackie as a coach and mentor, and will most definitely be keeping in touch."Sarah Robinson, www.sarah-robinson.co.uk

"Jackie has been a real support to me over the initial phase of starting up my own coaching practice. The discipline of our regular sessions encouraged me to focus on my goals and our conversations gave me the space to talk through several aspects of my work and how it fits in to the rest of my life. By talking to Jackie I have been able to establish my own style and to build my confidence - I am grateful to her for her advice and good sense. " Alison Robinson http://www.alison-robinson.co.uk/

"I had several objectives at the start of the sessions and we were able to discuss each one, and in each session you were able to provide me with techniques and resources which enhanced my understanding of the topic in question and which proved invaluable. Your style was challenging but supportive, and that's what I was looking for in a coach". Gary Cookson, Cheshire
