STEP AWAY FROM THE LAPTOP
THINK CLEARLY
SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY
I’m Roisin Jones. I am a strategist and psychotherapist, specialising in coaching people in creative and ideas businesses.
Coaching ranges from short-term interventions when you need a robust thinking partner, to in-depth support if you would like a confidential ally away from the politics and pressures of work.
“I greatly appreciated your thoughtful interpretations and helpful promptings, which have been instrumental in me returning to more enthusiastic form!
You may be interested to know that the Board meeting could not have gone any better with all my recommendations accepted. A rare circumstance but I had a queue of people coming to congratulate me on the analysis and presentations I had done. You must take much of the credit for this – thank you.”
“As a coach, I combine decades of experience as a strategy director with my listening and interpretative skills as a psychotherapist.
I provide a space for calm analysis, open thinking, and thoughtful decision-making.
If your work is affecting you emotionally, the structure and containment of the sessions will help you deal with difficult feelings without them spinning out of control.”
HOW I CAN HELP
Analytic coaching is a way of working together, rather than a set programme. It is a joint endeavour to think strategically and analytically about all aspects of your work.
After thirty years as a strategist on global businesses, analytical thinking and problem-solving are second nature to me.
As your coach I act as a thinking partner when you are dealing with thorny issues at work; and as a supportive critic to help you hone your own skills.
If you are dealing with challenging politics or people at work, taking time out to analyse what is at play beneath the surface can help you stay sane, and avoid getting caught in the weeds.
I draw on my extensive training and experience in group relations and systems theory to help you identify and navigate the (often hidden) undercurrents that shape organisations and relationships.
If work is affecting your confidence or wellbeing, analytic coaching helps you you think calmly, regain your personal sense of agency and control, and and ensure you always act in your own best interests.
We all have blind spots – behaviours or beliefs we are not aware of. These can often act as brakes on our progression at work, or make us feel that we don’t fit in. Analytic coaching can help you see yourself as others do; sometimes small behavioural adjustments can have a disproportionately powerful effect.
ABOUT ME
I was for thirty years an award-winning brand strategist, with roles including Global Strategy Partner on Dove, Global Strategy Director on Vodafone and International Strategy Director on M&S. I also delivered behaviour change programmes for the Cabinet Office and other government departments, and for the NHS during Covid.
Before that, I was a Commissioning Editor for an arts publisher in Paris. Coming back to London I was a founding Director of Ark, a pioneering environmental marketing organisation; and an advisor on environmental consumerism to the European Commission. I left to do an MBA at London Business School where I was awarded a scholarship.
I have a Masters degree in Organisational Consultancy and a post-Masters Practitioner Diploma in Systems-Psychodynamic Coaching, accredited by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.
In 2019 I completed a four-year, Masters-Level 7 UKCP training in Psychotherapy.
I am in private practice in London and Essex.
A WARM WELCOME
The first step is to have a 15-minute conversation by phone, so you can tell me what’s on your mind and we can see if I am the right person for you.
There is no charge for this and no obligation to take it further.

How frequently, and for how long, we meet depends on your needs, and will be by mutual agreement. Analytic coaching is not suitable for one-off sessions, and the minimum number of sessions is three.
I like to meet in person, at least for a first session, and my meeting room is in central London.
If you are based outside London, or if your work commitments make in-person meetings difficult, I also offer wholly online coaching.
I look forward to hearing from you
