About Jessica Shields Coaching

Welcome to Jessica Shields Coaching

Meet Jess, a highly skilled Coach and Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) based in the West Midlands. Jess has devoted her career to supporting individuals in achieving their professional and personal aspirations through coaching and training in a variety of diverse environments.

With an initial focus on coaching and mentoring students aged 16-18 in Further Education, Jess founded ‘Jessica Shields Coaching Ltd’ in 2015. Since then, she has diversified her reach and skills by offering NLP-informed coaching to adults in multiple industries, including education, healthcare, NHS, prison and probation services, professional services, manufacturing, community interest companies and not-for-profits. Jess has honed her ability to work flexibly within different contexts, always striving to find practical and effective solutions to each clients unique needs. She has certainly enjoyed the variety over the years!

Jess’s commitment to unlocking potential extends beyond coaching, as she also offers an essential Mental Health First Aider® training program to private sector employees. We believe it is vital for individuals to feel psychologically safe to talk about their mental health in the workplace, to receive effective support and be able to work productively in a non- judgmental environment. This is why Jess chose to become an Instructor Member for Mental Health First Aid England in 2018, to deliver their informative courses.

Jess’s coaching approach has been described as supportive and compassionate, with a strong element of positivity. She works with clients on the belief that they have all the answers within themselves and often feels in awe of the transformation of people through the power of the coaching space. Jess has always been fascinated with human behaviour, therefore, to work with clients in helping them understand their own behaviour is a pure joy. 

Jessica Shields Coaching Ltd is a member of the ‘Association for Coaching’ meaning our coaching services meet the ethics and competencies outlined by this accredited coaching body, to ensure we are delivering a safe and ethical service to all of our clients.

Client Testimonials

“The support you have given has been invaluable in helping me to gain new insights and clarity, particularly on work decisions and life balance, it just shows that one person can have a big impact and keep you accountable!”

“I would thoroughly recommend anyone wishing to embark on a coaching journey to do so in collaboration with Jess.”

“Whilst I continue to practice self-development, having regular meetings with Jessica allows me to see what’s working and what isn’t. When I look through my notepad from my first session with her, I can see real and tangible development in myself. This benefits everyone around me. Thank you Jess!”

“Jess helped me change my life. I was depressed, anxious and felt exhausted with not knowing what to do in my life. But Jess gave me the tools I needed to deal with life. I developed the confidence to apply for University and the sessions made me realise I could believe in myself. I would recommend her services to anyone feeling lost or confused.”

“Having never done anything like this before I wasn’t sure how it would work out, but I am really pleased with the results. Jess took time to understand and clarify what I was trying to achieve. The coaching tools really worked. Even after the first session I was able to apply what we’d done to help my situation. I’ve definitely achieved what I was looking for when I started the process.”

“Thank you so much for all you’ve done so far. It has already changed my life. I described it to my brother as ‘undoing the knots’.”

“Jess was lovely, encouraging and knowledgeable. The course was really informative and Jess went at a good pace and had a lot of information.”

“Very informative course and Jessica was a fabulous instructor who shared lots of useful links, applications and advice which I know I will use in the future. Great session!!”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect from the course, but it was absolutely amazing. Jess was an incredible instructor and made the course easy to understand and very enjoyable. I could not recommend it enough.”

“Jess was incredibly knowledgeable on the subject of mental health and had a wide range of useful links and charities and support groups that could be accessed for people needing support. There was no question that she couldn’t answer!”
