TESTIMONIALS
Here's what some of my clients say about working with me.
Lee
Jo’s coaching style has navigated me through some tricky parts personally and allowed me to give myself permission to stop, breathe and focus on investing in myself…. Something that most of us on the planet are completely rubbish at.
It may sound corny, but Jo has literally saved my life! There are so many of us who reach a certain age and start reflecting on what’s next and it can be terrifying, but Jo’s warmth, patience and passion for what she does it remarkable…

Since giving up drinking with the help of Sober Jo and the group program, back in March 2022, my confidence, wellbeing and outlook and life in general have gone from strength to strength
Coaching that started with a sober focus has seamlessly led to 1:1 life coaching, looking at goals and aspirations whilst managing fears and disruptive thought processes.
Together we have worked on my fear of public speaking which enabled me to pass a panel interview for a promotion at work with flying colours and more recently, the management of my nerves on performing.
If someone would have said to me 12 months ago that I would be competing in a UK championships solo event and be able to manage my nerves in the lead-up and on the rink and perform like I can at home during training and enjoy it, I would never have believed it. But it’s true, it was the best competing experience of my life and its all thanks to Jo’s support, mentoring, coaching and most of all her belief in me.
I am so excited for my next challenge with Jo. I feel like the possibilities are now endless.
Thank you so much Jo.

Her programme is not just a look at your drinking: it’s like an MOT for your soul! It’s jam packed with ideas, meditations, visualisations and exercises that help you deep dive into your life.
And then there’s Jo herself. Chatting to Jo is like chatting to a kind, articulate, funny friend, a coach and your own personal cheerleader all at once.
SoJ Prison Service
Thank you so much for coming and doing such an excellent job of raising the benefits and options for a life of sobriety, the risk of an enthusiastic sociable drinking being a ‘booze bully’ and the line not about necessarily encouraging sobriety but being ‘mindful’ in your drinking.
Thank you for being so open in sharing your story, this is where the real power lies…
Rachel
I can honestly say that I would no longer describe the relationship with my daughter as toxic, but going from strength to strength and Jo has played a huge role in this life changing development, and I can't thank her enough. I can say that I'm now consistently happy as my life is calmer. And I can manage each challenge that I face with more tolerance. thoughtfulness and understanding…
Carla-Marie
Jo is such a warm, bubbly, incredibly caring and genuine person, which is exactly the type of person you need when embarking on a (sometimes difficult) journey of evaluating yourself, your life, your work and your goals and ambitions…
Government of Jersey
Jo attended an event I helped organise promoting healthier relationships with alcohol. Jo took the audience on her personal journey who were able to resonate with her honesty. I think it’s so important to be empathetic in this space, and with her funny anecdotes and humility, she really helped open up the conversation around alcohol with sensitivity and warmth. If I ever have the opportunity to do so, I would love to work with her again. Thank you, Jo, you’re a real role-model.
Alexandra
I reached out to Jo after a pretty grotty year after losing my lovely dad and having to focus on professional qualification exams. I was struggling to manage my mood and my motivation. I was so stressed and confused that I couldn’t make decisions at all, and I was struggling to do things for me (I have always been a bit of a people pleaser)…
Kleinwort Hambros
Sober Jo provided an engaging presentation on her journey of personal change, speaking insightfully about her first-hand experiences in becoming sober. Jo sings high praise of how great it is to be sober – listeners take away positive feelings about a sober change.
Keilah
Before I started Sober Jo’s group program, I was in a pretty uncertain and unhappy place for quite some time. I wouldn’t say that I considered myself to be a big drinker, but I knew my relationship with drink wasn’t a healthy one. When I did have a drink, I’d drink too much and couldn’t quite handle it, which created problems…
Louise
“The reason I chose Jo as a coach is because I was drawn to her energy, honesty and relatability. I knew from the discovery call that there would be no judgment whatsoever, Jo tells it like it is and brings out the absolute best in you. Her positivity and confidence are infectious and you leave your session feeling like you can tackle anything…”
Alicia
Jo held such a great space for me. It was a beautiful space. I felt safe and like I could trust her and it led me to open up a lot quicker than I expected and able to lay everything out on the table. It’s changed my life and how I view the world. I am a happier person as a result. A beautiful style of coaching…
Katie
One of the things I liked about Jo as a coach is her energy. She listens with empathy, whilst helping you see through the emotion with a natural galvanised energy that can quickly move you forward. We met on a weekly basis whilst keeping in contact between sessions, helping to remind me of what I needed to do and made me feel cared for and a priority…
