Sometimes life can feel heavy.
I work online, in person, and outdoors through walk-and-talk sessions, offering a relaxed and supportive environment where you can show up as yourself. Tea, honesty and real conversations are always welcome here. Before becoming a counsellor, I worked for over 10 years as a psychiatric nurse, which deeply informs the way I support people.

I help people with resilience and wellbeing, as they move out of patterns of behaviour or situations that might feel stuck or unrewarding into lives that are compassionate, intentional and fulfilling. Using approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Coaching and Positive Psychology I help them set meaningful goals and take courageous action towards these.

Choosing to start counselling can feel like a big step, especially if you’re feeling anxious, low, stuck, or uncertain about yourself or your direction. I offer a warm, non‑judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and explore what’s going on for you at your own pace. I’ve been working as a counsellor since 2009 and I’m trained in person‑centred, humanistic and integrative approaches. This means I tailor therapy to you, rather than using a one‑size‑fits‑all method. Sessions can be short or long term, depending on what you’re looking for, and I offer flexible daytime and evening appointments, both in person and online.

My approach is person‑centred, shaped around your unique needs and experiences. Together we can explore what you can and can’t control, create space for growth, and recognise that while your past may influence you, it doesn’t have to define who you become or limit the life you want to build.

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.
