About Me -
Dr Mary-Jane Budd
A common theme amongst my clients is a feeling of loss and disconnection from their true selves. As a coaching psychologist, my mission is to empower women who have lost their sense of identity and vitality. Through a personalised journey of self-discovery and empowerment, I help them reconnect with what truly matters to them and unearth the strengths within. Together, we reignite their inner spark and unlock their full potential, allowing them to embrace life with renewed purpose and passion. It's time to rediscover your oomph and live a life that resonates with your authentic self.
I am a Chartered Coaching Psychologist with the professional body of the British Psychological Society.
What is Coaching?
I am often asked what actually is coaching? Some people answer this question by saying what coaching ‘is not’ – coaching is NOT therapy. In coaching, the aim is to generate new behaviours rather than repair old behaviours. But I’m not sure this is a full description of coaching and it certainly doesn’t explain the process behind coaching. In coaching, I want people to unravel their thoughts and sort of break things down into manageable parts. Life can be very overwhelming at times and if we can use a coach as a ‘thought partner’ to help assess needs, come up with options, and then decide which path to take, then we can be more in control of how we go about our lives. So this picture is a good analogy for what coaching is but I think that there is a step missing. The part where we externalise those thoughts by verbalising them. So the tangled ball of wool may first be in front of us before we start to unravel it. We hear what we are saying and this means that we can process the challenge as if it is being spoken by someone else. This gives us space to come up with a plan to address the challenge and some neat balls of wool to work with.
So why do we need a coach for this? Well I think it is because it helps us to see more clearly if someone is there asking questions and listening to us. As a coach, there are a number of tools I use to first do the unraveling and then bring it back neatly – drawing, use of metaphor, journaling (for example). But I also think that coaching brings accountability and this means that people actually do what they say they are going to do!

Taking control of (peri) menopause
1-1 Coaching
To support women, I offer 1-1 coaching that individualises the approach you need to take to embrace this stage in life. An opportunity to reconnect with your values and make sure you are being the person you want to be. By taking you through a number of exercises I will show you how to be a more confident and value-driven person. I also offer tips and strategies to alleviate some of the more common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause such as anxiety and sleep disruption.
Group coaching
I also offer group approaches to address topics such as: alleviating anxiety, interrupted sleep, acknowledging your strengths, developing resilience, and building your confidence. It will also give you an opportunity to share your experiences with each other. The aim of these sessions is for you to take control of your menopause journey rather than menopause controlling you.
Menopause in the workplace
I offer talks, training, and coaching to organisations to encourage a culture of openly talking about menopause and how symptoms can impact the working day. This service is offered to women affected by menopause, their colleagues, and management to create an environment that women feel comfortable in expressing how they are feeling and what support they might need through this life stage.
I also offer consultation on creating a menopause policy for your workplace.
