About Me

Jo Horwood is an Executive Function coach based in Bath.

I'm Jo Horwood, an Executive Function coach based in Bath, with a background in education and a deep commitment to helping people move forward with purpose. I believe that choosing coaching is a positive and empowering step - one that reflects a desire for meaningful change and personal growth.

My passion for this work was sparked in the classroom, where I saw first-hand how uneven the playing field can be. Those experiences shaped my belief in the power of personalised support and the importance of equipping individuals with the skills they need to navigate life with confidence.

Trained through Connections in Mind and drawing on my career in teaching, I support individuals from all walks of life - including those facing challenges with focus, organisation, emotional regulation, or mental health build practical skills and develop greater self-awareness. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each person’s unique journey.

With over 15 years classroom and specialised tutoring, I’ve seen how confidence grows when people feel understood. I bring that same relational focus to coaching - creating a space where clients feel safe to explore, experiment, and thrive.

What our clients say...

"Jo has tutored my 14 year old daughter for a few years, and now she has just started EF coaching with her.  The set up process has been great so far with 2 sessions where Jo has explained things thoroughly to my daughter and engaged her fully.  They have come up with an initial plan together to help with her working memory and my daughter is excited to try it and then have a “check-in” with Jo.   I can highly recommend Jo - she is enthusiastic, engaging, and really wants to help children achieve their potential. "
