Life Coaching Counselling in Chelmsford
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.

Life is so beautiful, and life is so hard.
I am here to help you take that first step. Therapy is a safe, supportive space where we can explore what’s troubling you and understand what’s holding you back. Using approaches like Compassion-Focused Therapy, ACT, and coaching, I’ll help you uncover your strengths, reduce anxiety, and build confidence to create meaningful, lasting change.

I use an integrative approach as I do not believe one style fits all. This means I will suggest utilising the most appropriate approach according to individual needs and wants. The main approaches I work with, but not limited to, are EMDR & CBT.
My 'Intensives' offer the depth of long-term work in a condensed format, allowing space for insight, emotional processing, and lasting change; working in half/ full day or week blocks- for people who prefer taking time out to focus on accelerated change without the delay of years of weekly sessions (this isn't appropriate for every body and is on an individual basis).

I provide a non-judgemental space where you can learn how to respond, rather than react to what life deals you, which can strengthen your communication and relationship with yourself and others.
Whether its childhood experiences or current circumstances that are weighing you down, through our session we will focus upon building self esteem and a secure base within yourself. When individuals begin to feel greater self worth, feelings of low mood and conflict within will lift. New found confidence will promote you to make better choices for yourself.

My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based psychological approaches, while also remaining sensitive to each person’s unique identity, values, and life experiences.
I am a clinical psychologist with experience working with individuals from diverse cultural, religious, and clinical backgrounds. I offer a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic space where clients can explore their difficulties at their own pace and feel genuinely heard and understood.

For me whatever my client brings to our safe space is important-as well as myself being unconditional to all they open up about. They may feel it is less important to 'other issues' that 'other people' may have, but to me, all problems or troubles that someone is going through, are valid. I have six years experience working as a counsellor with children and young persons as well as adults. I have worked with the bereaved in a Hospice, those who have experienced sexual assault in other agency settings and also my private practice in Chelmsford where I offer counselling for children from the age of 4 up, young people and adults.

I work with people who want more from themselves and their lives. Many are high performers, professional athletes, business owners, executives and professionals, but performance doesn’t protect you from anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties or feeling stuck. Most people I work with aren’t looking for someone to simply listen. They want to understand why they think, feel and behave as they do, remove what’s holding them back, and build the mindset to live and perform at a higher level.

My work is dedicated to helping individuals understand how their past experiences and unconscious thoughts powerfully shape their present-day emotions, behaviours, and relationship patterns. We are often influenced by feelings and motivations outside of our immediate awareness, which can lead to recurring difficulties, emotional distress, and a sense of being stuck.

Everyone is an individual who experiences life and the issues it throws, in very different ways.
Previously I have worked as a trauma counsellor - predominately with young girls and women who have experienced sexual violence, rape and childhood abuse. With this comes PTSD, self harm, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and self loathing. I also specialise in abuse within relationships - particularly narcissism.

On the surface, you may seem like you're coping well, but underneath you might feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that are hard to shift. This may show up as overthinking, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, losing yourself in relationships, or finding it hard to trust your own needs and feelings. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients seeking an affirming, respectful space. I offer a warm, collaborative approach to help clients understand their patterns, build self-awareness, strengthen boundaries, and develop a more grounded sense of self.

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.
