I’m Jacqueline Davis, founder of Igniting Minds, where I offer psychotherapy and executive coaching for adults and professionals seeking deeper, lasting change.

I bring over 30 years of experience in leadership, coaching, supervision and psychotherapy. My background includes working as a CEO, charity trustee, consultant, executive coach and UKCP registered psychotherapist.

This breadth of experience enables me to understand both the visible pressures of professional life and the deeper emotional patterns that can shape how we relate, work, lead and live. I work with adults who may appear to be coping well on the outside, yet privately feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, uncertain or ready for deeper change.

My journey

Earlier in my career, I experienced first-hand the pressures, responsibilities and complexity of executive leadership. This led me to retrain as an executive coach and to found Igniting Minds in 2010, creating a space where I could support others through meaningful personal and professional change.

Over time, I became increasingly interested in the deeper emotional and psychological patterns that shape how we relate, work, lead and live. I saw that lasting change often involves more than practical strategies; it also requires self-understanding, reflection and a willingness to explore what sits beneath the surface.

This led me to train as a transpersonal and depth psychotherapist. Today, my work brings together leadership experience, psychological coaching and psychotherapy, allowing me to support clients with both the practical challenges they face and the deeper questions that may be emerging in their lives.
