I love helping people and finding solutions to things, which is why I became a therapist over 25 years ago and developed my practice to include coaching and supervision.
My therapeutic background is based on a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic model, which means that I am interested in how our past and mental processes affect us. I have worked in universities for over 20 years and was the head of counselling at the university of Cambridge for over 7 years, helping students and staff with personal and work related issues.

My aim is simple: to help people who need some support in life.
I am particularly interested in working therapeutically in a natural (outdoor) setting. I believe that undertaking counselling in the “real world” is enormously enriching. Research shows that being outdoors is beneficial to our health and that walking helps us to process our thoughts and feelings. Walk-and-talk therapy offers so much more.

We will look at deep and unconscious patterns and explore different ways of making life less stressful and more meaningful.
If things aren't going well at the moment and you feel alone then maybe I can help? I offer the opportunity to explore whatever may be causing you pain and anxiety in a safe and caring space. Some people come because they want short term help with a particular issue which may be causing them problems with getting on with the process of living. Other people come because they would like to work longer term with a complexity of issues sometimes originating from childhood. Whatever is worrying you book a free initial assessment and see if working with me helps make a difference.

Whilst there are definite differences between Counselling/Psychotherapy and Coaching, and there are professional ethics and boundaries I abide, I also believe that the two have similarities in enabling and empowering people to make change.
There are lots of counsellors and coaches practising and we all work differently which is the beauty of this field. I believe the relationship is the most important thing and finding the right person for you to work with, the person that will most empower you to make the important changes in your life is of utmost importance.

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.
