Coaching conversations become an opportunity to clarify issues and values, and to imagine and plan next steps.
You are a mature and accomplished person, but you've had a lot to cope with lately, and you're seeking insight and resources. Your most immediate need may be to recover a daily life that works for you, or to cope with stress, or to grieve a loss. You may be at a crossroads with decisions to make, or in the midst of a transition. You may carry the responsibilities of a leadership position. As a Life and Leadership Coach, I meet you in conversations which inspire and equip you to know yourself, to identify your goals, and to design strategies for moving forward.

I like to think of good mental health as not just the absence of sadness or difficult feelings but also how vibrant and energized you can feel about your daily life! I provide a compassionate and safe space, where we build a trusting and empathetic relationship.
Do you struggle to feel the joy in your days? Do you feel stuck in patterns that you didn’t intend for yourself? Wishing away your days by counting down the hours until the end of the workday or the kids' bedtime... Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Calmer? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives in our fast-paced world. I believe that in our work together we can create the LIFE you want and the YOU that you want to be.

With a background in the application of Quantum Physics in Human Development, Alternative Dispute Resolution, The Gottman Method, Trauma Healing and a spiritual approach to my coaching, I can help you transition resignation and despair into action.
I guide people through powerful life transitions and support them through the process of self-discovery and rebirth. Self-awareness is essential to overcoming life's obstacles. But there's often a catch isn't there. The story you tell yourself, it seems to have an agenda of its own. (I'm not good enough, someone's always achieving more than me. Why do I have to do all the work?) So how do you move beyond your current thinking? What has actually happened to warrant your thinking? What's been the core pattern in your relationships till now, and what happens when you challenge that pattern? Pause.... and sit with these questions.

But one thing is certain: happiness and fulfillment are attainable if you are clear on your purpose, learn to deal with negativity from your life, and have the tools and techniques to develop meaningful relationships.
I take a holistic approach to helping you achieve your goals. Combining psychotherapy theories with co-active coaching principles I conceptualize a plan that is unique to you. Together we will help you better understand your feelings and uncover sources of conflict in your life. You will discover more about yourself, define your aspirations and values and most importantly, build skills for dealing with obstacles in the future. Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Based Therapy are just some of the few theories I enjoy utilizing in my sessions.

Anxiety, depression and trauma are common in life today.
Over my 36 years of counselling I most enjoy working with clients who are committed and motivated to ‘do the work’. My expertise is focused in the areas of anxiety, depression, emotional abuse, trauma, PTSD, Complex-PTSD. Most of my clients have priorities that compete with the time they have for self care so my style is to focus on facilitating the achievement of your counselling goals in a patient but progressive pace. For me, counselling is not a ‘one off’ thing, and I enjoy building lasting relationships with my clients who often come back for support as needed intermittently over the years.

Do you feel existential angst or anxiety? Has trauma interfered with your ability to function? Many of us need to explore the depths of our conscious and unconscious mind in order to uncover and try to resolve issues affecting your life. This will help you not only get insight on your past, but will help influence your present as you seek to end negative patterns in your life and foster personal growth and emotional healing. Explore unconscious patterns, relationship dynamics and try to gain emotional insight. I will work with you to increase your conscious awareness of things holding you back.

The relationship between therapist and client is a fundamental aspect to facilitating change, possibly more so than the theoretical background. When we begin a therapeutic relationship, I hope you will feel supported through a genuine connection, where you will feel safe to bring your story and all of you into the therapy hour. Together, we will work through issues, worries, crisis's, life events, or the challenges of long term conditions, as a team. We will work together to look for positive change, resolutions to emotional suffering, and perhaps acceptance.

I would be honoured to accompany you on a portion of your walk through life.
Many of us have forgotten how to let our emotions move through our bodies like pure energy forms - letting anger churn, hope to blossom, grief to contract, or sit with unmet longing. My approach is to simply be with what's true for you, moment to moment. I practice this through supportive listening and staying with whatever comes up in the present. I create a safe space to help unravel beliefs & emotions, and offer personalized, therapeutic techniques to support individuals to gain awareness and clarity about themselves, their patterns and the decisions they make in their life.

Is there something missing from your sex life? Is it all you thought it would be? Do you want more intimacy? More pleasure? Passion? Desire? We are not born knowing how to have great sex or develop healthy relationships. Nothing could be further from the truth! Sex and romantic relationships are both an art and a skillset developed through experience, and also through support and guidance. In my practice, I aim to help you to learn and understand how to create a sex life filled with pleasure and intimacy rather than shame, fear, or performance anxiety.

If you are looking for a therapist who comprehends and celebrates your unique life journey without holding any judgment, consider booking a free consultation call with me.
Are you seeking a therapist who respects your complex life experiences and does not ask you to fit in a box? I help folks explore identity quests, build self-esteem, healthy relationships and conflict-resolution styles, and understand anger, depression, anxiety, people-pleasing or avoidant behaviour, and trauma. With 6+ years of experience in working with folks who have faced and perpetuated interpersonal abuse, I deeply care about breaking the intergenerational trauma and abuse patterns. I advocate for men's mental health rights and support survivors of gender- and honour-based violence in co-creating their resilience narrative.

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.
