Our Ways of Being
A coaching practice by Jane
Whether you're looking to transform your life or optimise your professional performance, I'm here to facilitate your journey.
Take a moment and reflect: When was the last time you felt truly heard? I mean really listened to, without judgment, by someone fully present and in tune with your experiences and emotions. This is the kind of coaching relationship I'm offering—a supportive, respectful space where you feel seen and heard.
Whether your goal is personal transformation or performance coaching, our sessions will be tailored to meet your unique needs. What sets me apart as a coach is the holistic approach I take to transformation. It’s not just addressing surface-level behaviours or short-term goals. It's about delving deep into the core of who you are – your language, emotions, and physical embodiment – to create lasting, meaningful change. Due to my background, I specialise in career change, career breaks, and making difficult choices.
My commitment to you is that I'll be there with you, every step of the way, supporting you as you discover your strengths, embrace your authentic self, and step into your full potential.
If you're ready to make a change, I invite you to reach out and book a non-obligatory introductory call with me. Let's see if there’s chemistry and explore the potential for a great partnership.
What is ontological coaching?
In a nutshell, traditional coaching is about getting the client from A to B without necessarily changing their perspective range.
Ontological coaching goes beyond getting from A to B by supporting the client in examining their way of being, to open new paths and make space for radical shifts. Ontological coaching integrates language, body, and emotions as part of the personal transformation process.
This article goes into more detail.
Explore your way of being
As an ontological coach, I believe that the way we show up in the world - our ways of being - are fundamental to how we experience our lives, and that transformational change is possible when we shift our ways of being. Whether you want to talk about your personal life, career, or finances, I’ll support you.
Our Ways of Being is my coaching space to explore the continuum of being you: who you were, who you are, and who you will be. Whether you know what you want, or you’re unsure about your future, I’ll hold space for you to explore.
In keeping with the ontological coaching methodology, we won’t look only at the language you use, we’ll also explore the body and emotions that make up your way of being.

Newfield’s approach is grounded in the study of ontology, the branch of philosophy which addresses our “beingness.” We are continuously becoming and developing. Through the ontological approach, we become astute and compassionate observers of ourselves and others. This has a powerful effect: it puts us at choice. Instead of re-actively going down the same paths which don’t work, we open up to new horizons in our leadership, coaching, and personal life.

This page is hosted on my website, so please feel free to nose around and get to know me. Here’s what else I can tell you about me, that won’t be written elsewhere: I’ve survived mental health challenges, successfully transitioned through THREE major career changes, hit CoastFI, taken two career breaks, been self-employed for three years, and figured out how to live a joyful and meaningful life along the way. I have plenty of life experiences so I know how hard it is to be human and make lasting changes. I’m going to be in the trenches with you.
As mentioned above, I practice ontological coaching. This isn’t the usual “get from A to B” coaching, we’re talking about exploring the depths of your being to make lasting change.
