Coach

Being an accomplished professional in a second language is not easy. The journey can be filled with self-doubt, isolation, and feeling like you’re not reaching your potential. Do you work in an international environment, contributing skill and dedication daily, yet still find yourself second-guessing your abilities or struggling to connect with colleagues and clients? My coaching is designed to break through those challenges, helping you feel more confident, capable, and connected – both in the workplace and in life.

Who is it for?

My coaching is specifically designed for second-language English speakers who are:

Aspiring Senior Leaders: You’re ready to take the next big step in your career but find the language barrier holding you back. You know you have the potential to be in a leadership role, but expressing your ideas clearly and confidently can feel like an uphill battle.

High-Achieving Professionals in International Organisations: You’re talented, ambitious, and work hard. But despite your capabilities, connecting deeply with your team, feeling truly ‘you’ in meetings, and overcoming that lingering self-doubt remains a challenge.

People Seeking Genuine Connections: Living and working in a new culture can feel isolating. You want to expand your network, build friendships, and enjoy your surroundings fully but feel stuck in small talk or afraid to open up.

What will you gain from coaching?

My 1:1 and group coaching options provide a structured, supportive environment for you to explore and build the confidence needed to succeed in your second language. By joining, you will

Feel Empowered to Progress in Your Career: Gain the skills and self-belief to apply for promotions, make your voice heard in meetings, and communicate comfortably with colleagues and clients alike. You’ll discover how to leverage your unique background as a strength and navigate cultural differences with ease.

Develop a Thriving Community: Leave isolation behind. Through our coaching, you’ll feel empowered to create authentic connections at work and outside. Think weekends full of plans, building friendships that make where you live feel like home, and engaging in meaningful conversations that go beyond small talk.

Communicate with Confidence and Clarity: No more overthinking emails or fearing client presentations. You’ll develop communication skills that let you speak up with confidence, articulate your ideas effectively, and embrace your style in a way that works for you – not against you.

What people say

  • "Before starting I felt nervous and unconfident with my communication. [I wanted to build] confidence with my communication and a better understanding of better ways to communicate with others. [The] biggest breakthrough is the positive feedback I’ve been getting from work since doing it. Also building confidence with my directness and knowing this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It was brilliant and just what I needed. If you're thinking about it, go for it, Julia is amazing!"

    Christie, UK

  • "I believe the sessions helped me from the beginning, almost without realizing it, and gradually. Above all, I started gaining more confidence in myself after sharing with you what my difficulties were, as we worked on them together. The breathing techniques, resources to better organize my ideas and express myself more concisely, exercises to improve fluency, and most importantly, the conversations about the expectations we think others have of us, were what helped me feel more secure and self-confident."

    Sandra, Spain

  • "I started the sessions with Julia wanting to focus on presentation skills but ended up working on so much more! Julia's coaching enabled me to better understand my natural communication - and get comfortable with it. Overall, I feel more confident with a better understanding of myself."

    Sarah, UK

  • "Julia is brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions. During my time, I had an interview to prepare for, and Julia also taught me how to prepare for a presentation as I'm currently styuding and have to do a few during my degree. All the advice Julia gave me was invaluable, she made me see both an interview process and presentation in a different way which has given me more confidence. Before the interview I went through the techniques, and felt calm facing the questions - something that is unheard of for me. She has really made me change my addtitue towards things, and now, dare I say it, I'm kind of looking forward to the next challenge of a presentation!"

    Rhodd, UK

  • "I would 100% recommend anyone working with you, I have found it really beneficial and strangely validating. I think if anyone isn't sure whether professional coaching is for them, they should definitely reach out to you and consider an initial session to find out what it's all about. I do think a lot of these formats can be as much about clicking a little with the way a practitioner works, I'm grateful that I felt at ease discussing things with you."

    Laura, UK

  • "I came to Julia without the strongest sense of what I should work on. I have some communication anxieties. I have also been stuck for a really long time, and shortly a lot of things in my life are about to change. Julia helped me feel lots more confident about my natural communication style. She gathered and synthesised a lot of the details and helped me with tools, and got me out of my rut better than anyone else has been able to do for a long time."

    Jena, UK

  • "Through Julia’s questioning and effective coaching strategies, she helped me to realise and get curious about which areas of my life would benefit from my work with her. Julia really got me thinking and after every session, I came away inspired and with so many areas that I wanted to work on. Julia is so friendly, relatable and realistic about real life and how that impacts us. Her approach is non-judgemental and supportive. She makes you realise there is no such thing as a silly question and helped me to look at other areas of my life that were holding me back, such as self-esteem and believing in myself."

    Jo, UK

  • "I worked with Julia for several months and we did some specific sessions in order to prepare for an important job interview. She puts in so much effort to get the best results and I recommend her 200%. She is so lovely and makes you feel confident from the first day."

    Maria, Spain

  • Before I start the coaching with Julia I was shy to talk, didn’t have much self-confidence and was overthinking what other people thought about me when I speak up. I enjoyed so much our sessions, after each one of them I felt like I had more confidence, power over myself and my thoughts. Julia supported me to think about myself in better ways, to not over think and how to talk to people around me not just at work but in my personal life also. I think most important for me straight away was Julia's approach and the trust, I never felt judged by her in any way, and the calmness and way of talking gave me feeling of knowing her forever and that I could talk about anything. I will miss our 1:1 sessions, I can't recommend her enough.
