Life Coaching Counselling in Exeter
Experiences earlier in life can leave us feeling unsupported, unseen, or responsible for managing things alone.
Together we look at what may be sitting underneath the anxiety or self-criticism, while also developing practical ways to support your nervous system and build genuine self-trust.
I draw on a range of approaches including therapeutic conversation, nervous system awareness, and reflective practices that help clients reconnect with themselves.

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.

With 16 years of leadership experience supporting large teams, I’ve seen how anxiety and depression impact everyday life.

My own experience of therapy taught me that real change begins when we feel safe enough to open and trust. I know how hard that can be—especially after heartbreak, loss, or years of self-doubt. I work with clients who want to heal emotional wounds, reconnect with themselves, and build relationships that feel secure and alive. My approach blends counselling, mind–body awareness, and practical tools to help you feel grounded, confident, and more at peace within 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.
