Together, we can gently explore what’s happening beneath the surface, make sense of your experiences, and find new ways forward—helping you feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your life.
Many of the adults I work with experience anxiety, depression, trauma, or personality-related difficulties, and often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and others. They seek a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic space where they can explore their experiences, process emotions, gain insight, and develop practical coping strategies. Their goals include fostering self-acceptance, strengthening relationships, building resilience, and living more authentically. Ultimately, they want to move from merely surviving to truly thriving — feeling grounded and empowered.

I’ll walk alongside you with care and guidance, and provide tools that can help you make meaningful changes in your life.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent 30 years in senior management roles across both public and private sectors. That time gave me an understanding of the pressures women face, especially when we’re trying to do it all. I know what it’s like to juggle work, family, health, and the needs of others, often putting ourselves last in the process.

Life Coaching Counsellors
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.
