I work integratively, blending counselling and embodiment coaching — tailoring the approach entirely to you.
My ideal clients are executives, senior professionals and high achievers who have become so focused on performing well for others that they've lost touch with what they need for themselves. They are often intelligent, self-aware and highly capable — yet find themselves stuck, depleted or quietly anxious in ways they can't easily explain to the people around them.
They may be managing teams, navigating high-stakes decisions, or sustaining a demanding lifestyle — while privately wondering how long they can keep going at this pace. The drive that once made them effective has quietly eroded the things that sustain them: relationships, i

• Sexuality issues;
• Anxiety, depression, stress, burn-out;
• Confidence and self-esteem-building;
• Decisions about having a baby/egg-freezing/adoption;
• Relationship-building;
• Finding your purpose.

Online 'shopping' for a therapist can be tough. I know, I've done it. Scrolling through faces and bios.
So why me? I love my job and I love to share what I have learned over the years. My approach is direct, yet compassionate and practical but evidence based. I don't do 'therapy' talk, I do 'human' talk. I also do a lot of listening. Our sessions are a chance for you to fully be yourself - with no judgement - or to find out who you really are. Together we will explore the barriers holding you back - and slowly break them down, so that you can start living right now, instead of waiting for that perfect version of you to turn up.

Do you feel stuck, disconnected from yourself, or as though something important is missing in your life — even if, on the surface, things seem “fine”?
I believe we all have a natural capacity for love, creativity and fulfilment, but that difficult experiences, emotional wounds and long-standing patterns can leave us feeling blocked, fragmented or disconnected from who we really are. I offer a space to gently explore these patterns, heal what needs healing, and reconnect with your own inner resources

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.
