Perhaps you're feeling down or anxious, maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead.
My view of therapy is that it requires a holistic approach. I work in an integrative manner, which means I use a variety of tools depending on client needs, including person-centered and CBT, as well as mindfulness and self-compassion. A good deal of my experience is working with men, and members of the neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ communities.

From there, my work has extended to individuals facing a range of life difficulties, including domestic abuse and social isolation, grief and loss and significant life transitions.
Modern day life can have a profound impact on our emotional wellbeing. The pressures and pace of everyday responsibilities can lead to feelings of depression and anxiety, including panic attacks. These experiences can create a sense of loneliness and disconnection, often causing inner unrest and a loss of connection to ourselves and others.

I work with adults who appear to be coping but feel anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. Many struggle with overthinking, difficulty switching off, low mood, or patterns they don’t fully understand. I also support those who find it hard to open up, including men’s mental health. I provide a calm, non-judgemental space to help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface, gain clarity, and move forward with greater confidence and emotional balance.

I create a warm, safe, supportive (yet sometimes challenging) place to help you navigate through the complexities and messiness of your relationships and work- life.
I am a London-based UKCP and BACP accredited Integrative fully qualified Psychotherapist. I am also a trained coach so weave these two skills into my practice. I specialise in relationships – the most critical being the relationship we have with ourselves, but also our partner, siblings, parents, our children, friends and work colleagues. I also specialise in helping people in highly demanding jobs. I used to work in corporate consultancy and so know first-hand the stresses of such an unforgiving career. Thus, I am more likely to ‘get’ the struggles of what it is like in your role.

Maybe now's the time for breakthrough discoveries and a brand new life you'll love.
Success is often depicted as a series of milestones achieved through talent, hard work, and perseverance. Yet, there’s a hidden dimension to success that goes beyond external accomplishments. The "secret language of success" includes understanding and overcoming personal emotional challenges that can impede our progress. Every successful individual has faced various personal challenges. Typically, the impact of such challenges goes unnoticed for quite some time. Anxiety can make it hard for us to focus and perform. Depression can cast a shadow over our aspirations. Low self-esteem and self-doubt can inhibit our confidence.

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.
