I’m Jacqueline Davis, the founder of Igniting Minds a provider of executive coaching and psychotherapy in London.
I bring over 30 years of experience as a CEO, charity trustee, consultant, coach, coaching supervisor and psychotherapist.
Alongside my psychotherapy and coaching practice, I am an assessor for the Institute of Directors, assessing leaders for the Chartered Director award.
This combination of leadership and therapeutic expertise enables me to work with both the practical and deeper psychological dimensions of personal and professional development.
My journey
Early in my career, I experienced first-hand the pressures and challenges 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 observed that meaningful and lasting change often came through deeper self-exploration. As my clients achieved greater insight, confidence, and authenticity, they were able to navigate both their personal and professional lives more effectively. This led me to undertake further training as a transpersonal and depth psychotherapist.
I trained as a psychotherapist to understand what truly drives human experience — not just at the surface level, but at a deeper emotional and psychological level. My work is grounded in the belief that lasting change begins with deeper self-understanding. By bringing conscious awareness to the patterns that shape our lives, we create the possibility for greater freedom, choice, and connection.
This gives me a unique understanding of the personal and professional challenges faced by leaders, professionals, and those navigating significant life transitions.
