Book 1:1 Coaching
I offer 1:1 transformational coaching, online or in-person, for doctors, and anyone in an emotionally demanding role, helping them to find focus, create balance, and find their own solutions to the challenges they face.
What is coaching?
Coaching provides a space to explore your own goals and decisions.
-
Find clarity on your next steps
-
Reduce overwhelm & stress
-
Build resilience & confidence
The main purpose of coaching is to provide a safe space in which you can find your own answers or work towards a chosen vision or goal without unsolicited external influence.
There are many different models and styles, but the overarching premise of coaching is that you are most likely to find the answers to your UNIQUE needs, values and desired outcomes.
Coaching with About Wellbeing
Different people will need or suit different coaches. Sometimes the only way to know is to try.
Coaching provides a neutral space so a coach’s professional background shouldn’t influence the techniques which might help you as the coachee.
However, if a coach has experiences or shares a career background which reflects your own this can improve empathy and reduce the coachees potential sense of feeling exposed or judged.
For this reason most of my coaching is done with Doctors – but anyone is welcome!
I have a diploma in Transformational Coaching, experience of running retreats and wellbeing workshops and over 20 years as a Paediatrician behind me.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some answers to some most frequently asked questions.
If there is anything else that you’d like to ask, that I haven’t covered here, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.
How long does coaching take?
It depends on your goals and needs. Some clients benefit from a few targeted sessions, while others prefer ongoing support. To access discounted rates, a minimum commitment of six sessions is required.
How is coaching different from therapy?
Coaching focuses on professional and personal growth, helping you move forward and reach specific goals. It’s future-focused and, although it may suit you to reference your personal story and context this would be to enable and empower you rather than explore past trauma, diagnose or “treat” anything per se.
Do you have experience working with doctors/healthcare professionals?
Yes, I specialise in working with professionals in emotionally demanding roles, including doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers. I worked as a doctor for over 20 years, and understand the pressures and challenging aspects of the profession. All of our About Wellbeing coaches have a background of medical training.
What happens in a coaching session?
Sessions are structured but flexible. Essentially it is a form of guided conversation. You get to speak and/ or think as much as it suits you to do. The coach is there to listen actively, allowing you space to explore challenges, clarify goals, and develop practical strategies. Sessions are confidential, supportive, and focused on what you need most. Pure coaching is aimed at helping you find your own solutions.
Can coaching help with burnout and stress?
Yes, coaching can help you identify stressors, develop strategies for resilience, and create a healthier work-life balance without compromising your professional success.
How much does coaching cost?
Prices: £90 per hour long session. Course of 6 sessions £450 (Online via Teams or Zoom, or in person in the Wiltshire area) NB. All attendees of a Woodlines retreat or workshop can access up to 3 sessions at £75/hour
Is coaching confidential?
Absolutely. Everything discussed remains confidential, within professional ethical and legal guidelines.
How do I know if coaching is right for me?
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or want to make a change but aren’t sure how, coaching could be beneficial. A free discovery call can help determine if it’s the right fit for you.

Dr Jo Hacking
Transformational Coach
Founder & Director of About Wellbeing Ltd
Jo has a medical background of over 25 years as a doctor, with 10 years as an NHS Consultant in Paediatric Emergency Medicine. She experienced a burnout and mental illness journey some years ago and learnt the power of accepting help, honest self-awareness and compassionate self-care. Her lived experiences – with the benefits of going through psychotherapy (provided through Practitionner Health) and coaching – inform her current work, but it is the importance of Nature – and the human experience of being a part of nature – which provides the dominant theme underpinning Jo’s value set.
She is an advocate of creating cultural change and increasing opportunities to support the benefits of nature connection for wellbeing. This has now become a full time occupation, such that she finally stepped away from clinical medicine in 2023.
She lives in Wiltshire with her husband, three children and various other animals.
