We know that life is sometimes very hard, and that we are supposed to be able to absorb and grow from the inevitable ups and downs that come our way.
I work with a range of issues from anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship issues. When unsure how to name a feeling and put it into words, I will work with you to untangle your experience and support you in finding clarity. If there is a need for tools in order to move forward and make changes in your life, I will assist you in creating them.

Learning to recognise, accept and welcome in whatever life brings you at the door is a difficult task.
Is it difficult for yourself to connect to your emotions and feelings? Sometimes it is complicated to find a link to enable us express freely. Unintentionally, we can create a habit in which we suppress, run away, deny or manipulate our emotions. It is normal to try to push away feelings of discomfort like stress, fear or pain; but there are tools you can learn to help you cope with these emotions in a healthy way. Instead of denying, distracting yourself, manipulating or disconnecting, you can accept, observe, acknowledge and connect deeply with your feelings.

I have many years of experience in working with different people from all walks of life.
We all experience difficult times in our lives. I believe that the way we manage those hard times is dependent on our previous experiences, and on the beliefs, thoughts and feelings we hold on to as a result of this. This can inhibit us from feeling happy and fulfilled, and from being our true authentic selves.

Perhaps you feel trapped by the past, knowing there must be more to life yet stuck in survival mode.
Trauma does not only live in memory; it lives in the nervous system and body. It shapes how we experience the world. Alongside talking therapy, I work somatically, supporting nervous system regulation helping you understand how experiences are held physically and emotionally. I integrate creativity, allowing processing and expression beyond words.

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.

I work with clients managing anxiety, low mood, relationship breakdown, divorce, stress, and periods of crisis, as well as those navigating life transitions, burnout, and challenges around identity and self-esteem.
Together, we explore patterns, experiences, and what may be keeping things feeling stuck, while also thinking practically about how things can begin to shift . Alongside this, I incorporate elements of coaching where appropriate, supporting clients not only to understand themselves more deeply, but also to move forward in a more grounded and positive way.

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.
