Life can be overwhelming — and when we carry unresolved stress, trauma, or pain, our bodies remember even when our minds try to move on.
Embodied therapy helps you feel safe in your body again. You don’t have to re-live painful memories to heal. Instead, we work gently with your nervous system — using tools like breathwork, grounding, guided visualisations, mindfulness, and creative practices — to explore what your body is holding and what it needs to let go of.

You may be here because something in your life feels stuck, painful, or confusing – and you’re ready for change.
As your therapist, I’ll support you in short or long term work every step of the way. I’m especially drawn to working with creative individuals and the unique challenges they face. My approach draws on psychodynamic psychotherapy along with transactional analysis as an integrative approach which incorporates both talking and creative methods when useful.

My clients are adults and adolescents who appear to be coping on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected inside. Many are tired of holding everything together and feel stuck in patterns of stress, overthinking, or emotional reactivity, sometimes without knowing why. They may be sensitive, reflective, or neurodivergent and feel deeply affected by pressure, relationships, or past experiences. They want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more like themselves again, with support that is respectful, paced, and genuinely helpful. They want therapy to improve their lives now and help them move forward.

We encounter various kinds of difficulties and challenges every day. At times, it can be challenging to open up to others, therefore leading to feelings of confusion and a sense of powerlessness. Recently, many individuals from Hong Kong who have relocated to the UK have faced setbacks in their social, professional, or academic pursuits. Such challenges often stem from uncertainties surrounding self-image and self-worth while adapting to a new environment. If you find yourself in a similar situation, exploring yourself through psychological counseling can provide you with more effective means to understand and address these emotions

Modern life is very stressful.
Hypnosis simply takes advantage of a naturally occurring psychological state, like being half awake in the morning. It helps you to embed the new pre-agreed cognitions, more quickly than simply talking about them. Together we'll explore your situation and use hypnosis to change your cognitions and bring about peace and clarity

Perhaps you're feeling trapped or blocked by the past, confused knowing there must be more to life but feeling stuck in survival.
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.

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.
