Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anxiety or hormonal changes leave you running on empty.
I bridge counselling and coaching, working with both mind and body. We look at the root causes of stress and how it shows up physically as well as emotionally. Using holistic tools, nervous system techniques and practical strategies, I help you untangle patterns, build confidence and create real, lasting change.

This has been a deep, extensive journey into oneself which has supported me, not only in my work, but also in personal my life.
My direction towards self-development has exposed me to deep & wonderful values. I now understand that feelings don’t need to be avoided or feared, they just are. I know people are all inherently creative & given the right environment of empathy, non-judgmental & unconditional positive regard everyone can find their way.

Although difficulties arising from life transitions, sex and relationships are much more prevalent than most people think, only a few people can still share their struggles with others.
Working integratively, I use different approaches depending on the needs of my clients. I believe that no two people are the same, and everyone responds to difficulties in uniquely different ways. Therefore I carefully and sensitively work with individuals and couples.

My aim is to walk alongside you, at your own pace – offering guidance, support, and encouragement – as you move towards a life that feels safer, more balanced, and more connected.
My ideal client is someone navigating the long-term effects of trauma, particularly complex PTSD (CPTSD), childhood abuse, domestic violence, neglect, or coercion, such as victims of modern-day slavery or human trafficking. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself and others. Your story matters – and together, we can begin to make sense of what you've been through, exploring ways to move forward at a pace that feels right for you. If you're ready to take the first step, I invite you to reach out – I'd be honoured to walk alongside you on your journey.

Assists clients in cultivating long-lasting self-help and empowerment skills, navigating their challenges, and forging a joyful, fulfilling, and purposeful life.
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

I love working with people who are looking at or wanting some kind of change in their lives, and wanting to find a way of doing it that lasts and more importantly feels like it adds to their life.
I am excited by the new discoveries in neuroscience and my work can take on more of a coaching style, where we discover together the things that have been holding you back from living the life you want to live, discovering how old habitual patterns keep you doing the same old things, and learning new ways to create a new future for yourself.

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.
