Keri Jarvis

My special interest is everything & anything around relation- navigating difficult conversations, feedback, conflict- in work and beyond. I believe many of our seemingly practical difficulties emerge from relational stickiness. I love this complexity so that you don’t have to (but you might do, eventually).

I bring an equity centred lens to all my work and am certified by LSE in Inclusive Leadership.

I take a relational approach- most of my client sessions feel like an organic conversation where I pay exquisite attention and offer enquiries or reflections. Most of us are not afforded this kind of non-judgemental time, space and focus in our daily lives, and this alone can be transformative.

Sometimes, where relevant, I might suggest we explore some developmental theory. I’m always meeting the client in the moment and I could include any combination of parts work, pure coaching, behavioural science, thought partnership, and a diverse array of recommended resources from the ecology of my own sense making.

My approach is always client centred and flavoured by a commitment to equity and justice.

I’m an ICF Accredited Coach with coaching experience spanning nearly 20 years and various contexts. I’ve worked with clients at all levels of seniority and in a range of sectors- financial services, charity, marketing, property development, etc.

I’m certified by the London School of Economics in Inclusive Leadership Through Behavioural Science and am deeply committed to holding an equity centred lens in all my work. I’m experienced in supporting managers to cultivate belonging in their teams.

I’ve got a degree in Management, but more importantly, plenty of lived experience. I’ve worked in Corporate Retail Management running huge teams and turnovers. After becoming a mother in 2013 I founded (and later sold) my own company, a pregnancy and parenthood studio called Do It Like A Mother. I’ve done lots of client work around the re-evaluation of identity that often comes with children, as well as the practical challenges.

I’m the Co-Founder of Southend Care Bank, a Registered Charity focussed on the alleviation of hygiene poverty and the redistribution of resources in our city and I’m involved in local organising for parents who are worried about the impact the Climate Crisis will have on the next generation.

All of this informs my practice.
