Starting therapy is brave-and life-changing.
I’m a CBT therapist with four years of experience. I have been living in the Middle East and the UK throughout my life and that experience gives me the experience of understanding multiple cultures and issues we may face in life. I believe sometimes all we need is to be heard in a safe place without being judged and I can provide that space for you.

I also have a passion for helping people put their lives back together, which may be best described as life coaching.
I work from a base of a person centred and relational approach. That means building a relationship with you and exploring issues under your direction, focusing on exploration, empowerment and growth. From there we can find the direction to go and a way to move forward. I tend to bring CBT into it later, as extra tools for us to work with.

You will escape the diet cycle and find lasting peace with food in my coaching programme.
Escape the diet trap and find lasting weight loss with me. You may have tried many different diets, but can never do them for long, or regain the weight you have lost. You are not on your own; Diets do not work in the long term. In fact, going on a strict ‘diet’ can lead to yo-yo dieting and weight gain. Some people find they start a diet as many as 5 or 6 times a year, and people do on average 126 fad diets across their lifetime. How much time, energy, money, and effort is that? I can help you get out of the dieting cycle for good, by helping you to find what works for you, and a method of sticking at it.

I give the tools and techniques to rapidly transform your life, but that only works if you have the determination to take persistent action every single day.
I help those whose traumatic experiences hang over their heads like a black cloud and those who have been ostracised, rejected and ignored by those they love because they 'should be over it by now' regain a sense of self and find happiness in everyday experiences from the very first session. Whether you've experienced one cataclysmic traumatic experience or wave after wave of smaller ones - your mind, body and soul will react the same. Which means, its the same exact process to rapidly reverse the effects.

A Counsellor helped my suffering, and when I looked into the eyes of the counsellor all I saw was somebody who was not judging me, and too shared my desire for change that would help me in my life.
You have made it this far because you have realised that this issue is now causing you emotional or psychological pain.  You owe it to yourself to take the next step and go and reach out for help whether it be with myself or another therapist.  Don't let yourself down any longer,  I wish you well and know from my own experience a little more awareness can create in you the healing you ache for. I will provide a unique tailored therapy that is yours alone.

Are you feeling lost, questioning what is happening for you, or struggling to find answers to how you are feeling? If you’re experiencing what feels like a crisis, you’re not alone. Many people reach a point in their lives where they try to appear calm and composed yet feel an internal storm of stress and exhaustion. If anxiety and overthinking are impacting your relationships, work, and overall happiness, you're not alone. Imagine what it would be like to free up some mental energy and feel less burdened by anxiety.

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.
