My method & credentials

I’m Jilly Dawes, an International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited coach and facilitator. My practice blends positive psychology - the science of human flourishing with eco-coaching and systems awareness.

Together, we focus on building strengths, cultivating optimism and intrinsic motivation, developing habits such as gratitude and presence, mixed with time in nature, that helps you thrive.

I help you to develop a mindset and skill‑set that supports both your personal well-being and finding your contribution in the world.

This is your space to explore what’s next…

Feeling stuck, stretched, or simply not functioning at your best.

When life feels overwhelming, full of deadlines, decisions, or uncertainty, it’s easy to lose focus. Our coaching helps you reconnect with what’s important to you.


Through our work together you’ll learn how to…

Manage emotions under pressure and stay calm when life feels chaotic.
Build focus and confidence so you can act from a place of strength.
Create habits that support your well‑being, from daily routines to restorative pauses.
Trust yourself and your choices, knowing they align with your values and context.
Reframe challenges with curiosity, turning obstacles into opportunities for growth.

It’s about feeling steadier, more open to growth, and ready to take steps that feel right for you.

Coaching approach

Coaching is an 1:1 conversation that does not occur in a vacuum, each person brings their histories, experiences and the context and systems in which they live. We attend to these wider systems so you can understand how your inner world connects to your relationships, work and environment.

At the same time, we integrate evidence‑based practices from positive psychology and blend them with eco‑coaching principles. This means you’ll build on your strengths, cultivate optimism and learn to flourish as part of our living system.
