I’m Jacqueline Davis, the founder and Managing Director of Igniting Minds.

Early in my career, I experienced first-hand the pressures and challenges of executive leadership. This informed my decision to provide a meaningful way to support others,

I retrained as an executive coach and founded Igniting Minds in 2010.

Over time, I observed that meaningful and lasting change often came through deeper self-exploration. As my clients achieved greater insight, confidence, and authenticity, they were able to navigate both their personal and professional lives more effectively. This led me to undertake further training as a transpersonal and depth psychotherapist.

My work is grounded in the belief that lasting change begins with deeper self-understanding. By bringing conscious awareness to the patterns that shape our lives, we create the possibility for greater freedom, choice, and connection.

Alongside my psychotherapy and coaching practice, I am an assessor for the Institute of Directors, assessing leaders for the Chartered Director award. This gives me a unique understanding of the personal and professional challenges faced by leaders, professionals, and those navigating significant life transitions.

I bring over 30 years of experience as a CEO, charity trustee, consultant, coach, coaching supervisor, and psychotherapist. This combination of leadership and therapeutic expertise allows me to work with both the practical and deeper psychological dimensions of personal and professional development.

I trained as a psychotherapist to understand what truly drives human experience — not just at the surface level, but at a deeper emotional and psychological level.
