I have 15 years’ experience in organisational learning and development, and 14 years in private practice. I left school early to work with horses, and then tried diverse lines of work before discovering where my most natural skills lay.

About

Gill Coombs

I’m a qualified Therapeutic Counsellor, Coach-Mentor, and Supervisor. I have an MSc in Holistic Science from Schumacher College and a Diploma in Gestalt in Organisations, and I nourish my work through participation in groups such as the Cambridge Jungian Circle, Sacred Earth Activism, and Eco Psychology UK.

I’ve written three books, several published short stories and poems, and numerous articles. I’m on a committed path towards eldership, inspired by the work of Jane Goodall and Arne Naess, Bill Plotkin, Mary Midgely, Iain McGilchrist, and Rupert Sheldrake.

I enjoy singing, words, kayaking, ceilidhs, and forests; exploring and sleeping outdoors. I’m interested in deep ecology, societal evolution, rewilding, and farm animal wellbeing. I’m inspired by human kindness and resourcefulness, and endlessly astonished by the diverse creative genius of the world.

Business coaching and mentoring

Gill’s coaching for teams and individuals is heart led, professional and attuned to the needs of all involved and a must for anyone seeking insights on better improving relationships in a professional and/or personal setting. Her sensitive and deeply insightful mentoring approach in guiding both groups and individuals in conflict resolution, helping steer results towards inner clarity and best outcomes, and brings out the best in both the macro and personal planes.

Team programme participant

Gill’s been great to work with – a soul guide, a thinking / feeling companion with compassion and awareness who came alongside me to help navigate some personal and vocational changes. During our meetings (online) I’ve felt sensitively held in a space by her presence, her ability to attune to the current situation and resonate to the depths and breadths of my sharing. I’ve benefited greatly from Gill’s gifts in her offering, many of which I feel are authentically rooted in wisdom, knowledge and connection to lived experience. I’m super grateful also for the synchronicity that brought us together given our shared passion and appreciation for eco-psychology and the more-than-human world. Coupled with this Gill’s experience and appreciation of organisational development and systems thinking, alongside an awareness of current macro environmental and cultural challenges, helped me to stay grounded, to reflect and notice actions and patterns in behaviors in both myself and of those around me. I’ve no hesitation in recommending Gill.

Gill has worked extensively for the GreenSquare Group for a number of years facilitating and supporting the development of its existing and aspiring managers. I have the highest regard for Gill, a view shared by the vast majority of colleagues who have worked with her and benefitted from her knowledge, skills and confidence building style. At an organisational level her impact on leadership effectiveness and culture was both significant and invaluable as we sought to build a supportive people and customer focussed organisation. I would commend Gill to anyone looking to develop and improve the performance of the managers and teams at all levels.

Business Client

Gill Coombs is a good coach for psychotherapists and healers. I have worked in the behavioral health field for over 20 years, met and supervised many professionals, as well as done private therapy with several therapists. My work with Gill has been some of the most powerful, insightful and deeply symbolic soul healing work that I have ever done. She is truly gifted. Her ways of working with the variety of issues and material I sought help with included work with dreams, somatic imagery, ecotherapy and depth-work. My sense was that Gill was always there, close to my psyche, tracking my process with the stealth and grace of a rain forest leopard. I honestly feel that one session with Gill is the equivalent of multiple sessions with other therapists. If you are at a place in your life where you want to find yourself and walk your purpose, you would be very lucky to work with Gill.

I am so grateful for the time we have spent together, for your gentle guiding presence and listening ears. I have felt heard and seen and this has helped me navigate the tough times. You helped access parts of my mind/soul that I wouldn’t have been able to access before and opened me up to fascinating worlds.
