About ETC-UK
ETC-UK was created to offer thoughtful, values-led education, training, and coaching that responds to real people in real contexts.
The work brings together experience across education, family support, youth and adult development, coaching, and training, supporting individuals, families, educators, and organisations.
Whether working one-to-one, with groups, or within organisational settings, ETC-UK focuses on understanding the whole picture rather than isolated challenges, creating spaces where learning, reflection, and growth can happen in ways that feel steady, respectful, and genuinely meaningful.
Jan Seddon
Educator, Tutor and Q Pathfinder Practitioner supporting young people, families and educators through thoughtful, values-led education and coaching.
I’m Jan - an Educator, Trainer, and Coach with over 25 years of experience working across education, training, and learning environments.
My work focuses on supporting children and young people who may be experiencing anxiety, school-related distress, low confidence, or difficulty navigating educational transitions. I also work alongside parents who are trying to understand what their child needs when things no longer feel straightforward.
Over the years I have worked in international and bilingual education settings, delivered professional training within hospitality and corporate environments, and designed individualised learning programmes for learners across primary, secondary, and home education contexts.
Today my work brings these experiences together - combining education, wellbeing, and practical guidance to support young people and their families through periods of change.
Listening & Understanding
We begin by listening carefully, recognising that people’s experiences, concerns, and hopes matter and deserve to be taken seriously.
Context & Connection
Attention is given to the wider context around learning & development, including relationships, environments, and experience.
Care & Progress
Support is offered with care for pace and capacity, helping progress feel possible, grounded, and lasting rather than rushed or imposed.
