"Hello there!"
from the threads team.
We are Paul and Joy! A husband and wife team who each bring our own approach to coaching, but we share a heart for helping people grow with courage and clarity. Whether you're navigating change, looking for direction, or wanting to reconnect with what matters most, we invite you to explore what we offer. This is a space for honest conversation, reflection, and next steps that really fit you. We're so glad you're here.


Hey! I’m Paul — a pastor, coach, and someone who’s passionate about people knowing God and living out of true identity and purpose. I love helping others discover who they are as image bearers of God and what it looks like to bring that into their families, workplaces, and communities.
I care deeply about discipleship and growing in faith, and I believe real transformation happens when we walk with Jesus and step into the lives we were made for. Whether you’re navigating questions of calling, leadership, or everyday faith, I’d love to journey with you.
When I’m not coaching or pastoring, you’ll find me reading, watching or playing sport, enjoying a good craft ale, and spending time with my family — the people who keep me grounded and grateful.
Let’s discover what God might be inviting you into next.
Hello, I am Joy and I am a qualified Life and Leadership Coach. I love to help people weave their unique thread into the dazzling tapestry of the threads of life. I'd be delighted to partner with you to help you unlock your life potential and bring change to your world.
​
As a visionary leader, pastor and inspirational speaker, I have worked substantially across the UK church, public and third sectors and have pioneered and developed multiple transformative initiatives, projects and organisations that empower people to bring change to their world. I founded Acts Trust, a charity in Lincoln supporting local people to end poverty; formed GLX, a community of people with a vocation to bring hope to the world through their work; and co-created Transform Lincoln, combining multiple networks across the city to bring social and cultural renewal to the area.

"coaching was incredibly helpful in supporting me through some big business decisions and also facilitated the development of some big picture ideas and values to shape my work going forward"
