Whether you’re early in your IT career, mid‑level, senior, or somewhere in between — the pressure is real. You deserve support that understands the reality of technical work.
Working in IT is demanding in ways most people never see.
You’re expected to be fast, accurate, calm, available, and endlessly resilient — even when the workload is heavy and the expectations keep rising.
You might recognise yourself here:
-
Constant context switching that leaves your brain exhausted
-
High cognitive load and unclear priorities
-
Being the “go‑to person” for everyone
-
Pressure to deliver faster with fewer resources
-
Feeling undervalued despite carrying the load
-
Struggling to switch off, even outside work
You’re not failing. You’re operating in a system that demands more than any human can sustainably give.
And you deserve support that understands the reality of modern IT work.

Kitty, Shropshire
I had no idea whether this would work or not but was willing to give anything a go if it would help me achieve my goal (which in my case was doing well in a job interview).
Now I am a total convert! Not only did it boost my confidence for the interview meaning I got the job, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience that relaxed me and I will 100% do it again whenever I need a confidence boost.
Julia is friendly and professional and genuinely makes you feel as though she cares about your unique situation. Highly recommended
Paula, Cheshire
I am not a person who is comfortable asking for help… it is more normal for
people to seek me out to help them…. So accepting help from Julia in working
though my future plans was already a new practice for me. Julia understood!
And it is this understanding and empathy for her clients that is the bedrock
of all that Julia does.
In the space of a day, we had looked at my priorities, the things I
perceived held me back and, most importantly, dealt with and dismissed the
misconceptions and imagined barriers to me achieving what I wanted.
Julia’s expertise means that she is able to tailor sessions to precisely
meet the needs of her clients. Julia listens intently and adjusts the
sessions as she goes, ensuring that clients get the best possible outcomes.
Anyone who comes to Julia with an open mind and a hopeful heart can expect
to leave with a new sense of clarity and purpose and I would unreservedly
recommend her for those, like me, who would more usually ‘do it for
themselves’…. She will help you to harness your potential.
Sean, Yorkshire
I’m a northern lad. My career spans Engineering, Construction, IT and Management Training. I’ve worked in both Private and Public Sectors.
I wanted to commit these words to ‘paper’ in order to thank Julia for her time, patience and care in providing me with coaching in both my professional and personal life.
Let me begin by saying Julia is a woman who gets things done! That’s a bold statement and one that can often conjure up images of a bullish personality. However, Julia is far from that. She is relaxed, caring and warm. Julia has a nature that puts you at ease. Just spend 10 minutes speaking to Julia and you’ll find you’re in the presence of someone who is understated, yet with a sublime, innate ability to understand you. She is to the point, yet again, is able to deliver that in such a way as to leave you smiling with the thought: “Ah, she gets it!”.
Julia delivers her coaching in a simple yet comprehensive way, guiding you to the answers you need. Showing you how to take control, how to switch your thoughts from negative to positive and how to make that your habit.
Having worked in various sectors, I can say with experience and without doubt, Julia McHugh is the best…
I’ve spent 26 years working in IT — from hands‑on specialist roles to leadership. I understand the pressure, the pace, the expectations, and the emotional load that come with supporting complex systems and demanding stakeholders.
I’m also a certified transformation coach, ICF‑trained coach and NLP master practitioner. My clients describe me as:
-
“The woman who gets things done”
-
“A calm, grounding presence”
-
“Someone who understands the reality of IT work”
-
“A coach who sees the whole human, not just the job title”
I’m here to help you work, lead, and live with more clarity, confidence, and ease — no matter your role or level.
You don’t have to keep pushing through. You don’t have to carry everything alone. And you don’t have to wait until burnout forces a change.
The Clarity & Confidence Approach is the way I hold space for IT professionals — a calm, grounded, supportive environment where you can think clearly, explore openly, and reconnect with your confidence.
It isn’t a method, a model, or a set of tools. It’s a coaching partnership built on:
-
Powerful questions
-
Deep listening
-
Emotional steadiness
-
Curiosity without judgement
-
Space to reflect, reset, and breathe
This approach helps you untangle what’s going on beneath the surface, understand what you really need, and make decisions from a place of clarity rather than pressure.
It’s simple. It’s human. It’s grounded. And it’s designed for the realities of modern IT work.
Let’s talk about what you need and whether we’re a good fit.
