EXPERTISE & PHILOSOPHY
I'm Dr Jen Rankin, founder of Transition Point Coaching. I am a Consultant Psychiatrist (MB BCh, MRCPsych, PG Dip) with a special interest in medical education, coaching and professional development. I have also been coaching and mentoring people for over 10 years; often at points where they are working out what they want next.
My approach to coaching is evidence-based and draws on established psychological and behavioural science alongside recognised coaching frameworks. But in practice, that means something quite simple; giving you the time and space to think properly about where you are, what's getting in the way and what you'd like to change.
I am not here to tell you what you should do. We'll work together to make sense of what's going on, explore the options and turn that thinking into realistic steps moving forward.
My background as a Psychiatrist gives me a strong understanding of how people think, behave and respond to change - particularly when confidence, uncertainty or motivation come in the mix. I bring that knowledge into my coaching, while keeping our work practical, focussed and firmly centred on what matters to you.
I particularly enjoy working with people navigating career and life transitions. You might be doing well on paper but feel stuck, uncertain or simply aware that something needs to change. You don't have to have the problem pinned down to come to coaching. Working out what you want can be part of the process.
Coaching is distinct from medical or psychiatric care. I do not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment through my coaching practice. If you have concerns about your health, please seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional.
COACHING SERVICES
Coaching doesn't have to start with a perfectly defined goal.
You might be facing a specific change, or simply have a sense that something in your life needs to be different. These are some of the areas we can work on together.
PERSONAL & LIFE TRANSITIONS
For when life has changed or when you know something needs to;
Changing relationships, family roles, moving, returning to work or just feeling things aren't right.
Coaching gives you space to make sense of where you are, what matters now and decide what you want next.
Not sure where you fit? You don't need to know. We can use a free discovery call to talk through what is going on and whether coaching could be useful.
CONFIDENCE & GROWTH
For when self doubt or overthinking is holding you back.
You might know that you want a change but struggle to take the first step, question your decisions or feel less confident than you appear.
We'll explore what is getting in the way and use practical, evidence based approaches to help you move forward with greater confidence..
CAREER & PROFESSIONAL TRANSITIONS
For when you're questioning what comes next professionally.
Whether you're considering a career change, stepping into a new role, returning after a break or wondering whether the career you've built still fits, coaching can help you explore options and make considered decisions about your next move.
THE coaching PROCESS
What to expect.
1. Space to think
Time away from the noise of everyday life to reflect openly on where you are and what matters to you.
2. Clarity and Direction
We'll explore your current situation, what might be keeping you stuck and what options might be available to you.
3.Practical, evidence based coaching
Our conversations are supported by established coaching principles and practical tools; chosen around you and what you want to work on.
4. turning insight into action
When you are ready, we'll turn what we've discussed into realistic next steps. We will review what's working, what isn't and adapt as things change. Check ins between sessions will keep you on track.
You don't need to arrive with a clear goal or plan - working that out can be part of coaching.
Ready to Talk?
You don't need to know exactly what you want from coaching before getting in touch.
If something feels stuck, you're facing a transition, or you simply want to explore what might come next, we can start with a free 30 minute discovery call.
It's a chance to talk about what might be bringing you to coaching, what you'd like support with and whether working together feels the right fit.
Sessions are available online or face to face in Newport, Cardiff and surrounding areas.
Please note: my coaching practice is separate from my clinical work. I do not provide medical assessment, diagnosis or treatment through my coaching practice.
