Jo Bishop – Medical Coach

Working with Jo has been a truly transformative experience. She is calm, kind, and incredibly nurturing, creating a warm and safe space in every session. Her presence alone is grounding, and I always felt seen, heard, and supported. I’ve had therapy in the past, which was helpful in its own way, but I found medical coaching with Jo to be even more effective. Her approach felt more holistic and empowering, giving me practical tools and insights that really made a difference. Jo helped me navigate a difficult period of anxiety, and thanks to her guidance and care, I feel better than I have in a long time. Her support has made a lasting difference in my well-being, and I’m so grateful to have had her as my coach.

Jo has been a great coach and reliable support for me and I am so delighted to be able to give a testimonial for her as she’s been such a positive influence in my life. Jo has helped me to navigate and develop positive working relationships with a diverse and ever surprising mix of colleagues. I am a freelance makeup artist in the film industry, a career I love for its creativity and variety, but I often find myself flustered, trying to quickly adapt to new group dynamics. Jo has helped me feel confident and secure to have constructive conversations with colleagues, this has been particularly useful when interacting with senior team members and designers. Conversations which at first thought seemed impossible to voice but by learning to approach them in the right way, have really helped me to have a better understanding of my colleagues needs and expectations and thus create a better and happier work environment. It amazes me how by carefully selecting your words, you can change the entire meaning and guide the outcome. Jo is wonderful at helping me see things from a wider perspective, coaching me through situations I felt were uncomfortable at work and teaching me how to communicate more effectively. She has and continues to help me to have the courage to make decisions with certainty.
Jo is so generous with her time, balanced with her knowledge and open with her heart. I cannot recommend her enough and am so grateful for the impact and ongoing courage she’s given me, and the kindness and thought put into her delivery.

The safe space Jo has created on my journey with pain has been such a transformational experience. I’ve felt so much trust and safety in sharing realisations and experiences that were difficult to process. Jo had wonderful ideas in how to challenge me but remain with in my comfort zone. A notable session was sharing an experience of bad medical practice. Through writing a letter and thinking about how I would have preferred the situation to be more comfortable or acceptable for me, I was able to release some fixed ideas I was really struggling to move past. I appreciated the writing tool as it was then my choice what to do with it. Jo has very balanced ideas of how to help with better communication and how to implement healthy boundaries. She’s wonderful with reflecting back and summarising what I’m trying to convey.  Above all I appreciate the warmth and support I’ve received whilst addressing and learning how to move forward. Jo really holds space for deeper reflections and I’m so grateful for the time we have spent together.

Last year some of my peers identified some issues in my communication that were having some impact in my day-to-day work. I thought Jo could coach me and help me improve my communication skills.
Jo was always welcoming and made me feel at ease from early on. Feeling a gap in one’s communication skills can be overwhelming and emotional, but she reassured me that we would be working together. Before the session she prepared me with some things to think about in advance, which ended up filling my thoughts most of the time until the session.
I was really happy to go to the Coaching Cabin: it is a beautiful and relaxing place, and I was able to disconnect from the world and concentrate only on our work together as Jo helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses in communication and some of the factors that contribute to my better or worst performance in different contexts. At times it was a bit emotional, but I felt Jo was always supportive, helping me to identify strategies for different situations or more emotional reasons that lead to some lack of confidence in communicating.
Since the session, I’ve received a lot of positive feedback on my efforts to improve my communication skills. I had asked some people to give me feedback before the session, and the same people have been very positive afterwards. It’s been amazing and it really helped me realise where I could improve at different levels – from putting in place procedures to make sure I communicate in time, to preparing for meetings, to having more confidence in myself.
