You may look like you’re doing fine on the outside, holding things together at work, fulfilling family expectations, showing up when needed but on the inside, you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not yourself. Maybe you’ve withdrawn from relationships, lost interest in things you used to enjoy, or feel constantly weighed down by worries you can’t switch off. Perhaps you’re exhausted from always trying to meet others’ needs, while struggling to express your own. I work with young people and adults who are silently carrying a lot. Some are dealing with anxiety rooted in overthinking, uncertainty, and self-criticism.

Using counselling, clinical hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, and coaching, I help you reconnect with your inner strength and create lasting change.
Hi, I'm Sariya. I work with people from CALD backgrounds, as well as young people and adults (16+) ready to heal and step out of survival mode.

I meet you exactly where you are, with genuine compassion and no judgment, using CBT, person-centred therapy, and hypnotherapy to build lasting, meaningful change.

I believe we are all doing the best we can with what we've got, but sometimes we don't have the right skills or viewpoint from which to understand and resolve the issues that cause us to suffer. Our old coping strategies fail and we become stressed, depressed, anxious, isolated, angry, fed up, stuck, lost or hopeless. And there's a voice in us that says we've got to figure it out for ourselves, we mustn't burden others or others won't understand us. I'll listen deeply and work beside you to find your own answers, in a confidential, non judgemental, safe space. We all need to be seen and understood and to understand ourselves.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
