My aim is to help you feel steadier, more resilient, and better equipped to manage life’s challenges.
If you often feel misunderstood, overwhelmed by your emotions, or trapped in patterns you can’t quite explain, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with appear capable on the outside while carrying shame, self-criticism, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences internally. They want to feel steadier, less reactive, and more in control of their lives. Together, we focus on building emotional resilience, understanding how the past is shaping the present, and creating meaningful change before things reach crisis point.

Many of my clients decide to work with me because something significant is changing in their life.
Maybe you can’t quite put your finger on it. It might be that you feel like you’re just going through the motions. Perhaps there’s nothing wrong as such, but you’d like to explore the questions and possibilities that are in your mind. Together, we find ways for you to lead a more satisfying life – being true to yourself … the fullest version of yourself.

Lorna Evans - The Mind Movement
Psychotherapist, MSc, MUKCP

We’ll explore what’s going on for you and what you would like to work on together to create change in your life.
My approach includes the body as well as the mind. As the phrase “The Body Keeps The Score” suggests, our experiences don’t just live in our mind, brain & thoughts, they’re felt physically too. I see mind and body as connected. Emotional stress and trauma can be held in the body, and over time, this may show up as physical symptoms or illness.

People come to counselling for all kinds of reasons from childhood trauma to life events as adults such as divorce, bereavement and stress and what they all have in common is a desire to feel better and begin to enjoy life.
It can be hard to work out how to improve your situation on your own as, negative thinking patterns and behaviour patterns, can keep us locked in the same cycles of feeling overwhelmed and struggling to be optimistic about life. CBT helps clients identify these negative patterns and provides effective ways to make positive changes and reach your goals.

Dr Sally Conway
Psychologist, HCPC - Clin. Psych.
I offer gentle therapy and coaching for sensitive adults who have lost themselves through difficult life events, prolonged stress, or years of people-pleasing.
Specialising in trauma, stress, and sensitivity, I draw on approaches that honour both mind and body. You’ll be gently supported to explore inner patterns that hold you back such as people-pleasing or self-silencing, creating space for calm, harmony, and a freer, authentic expression of yourself. This work is nurturing, empowering, and deeply transformative

Relate trained, I can help you to figure out whether you should mend bridges, re-organise your life or move on.
When we are struggling with the people closest to us, it can lead to feelings of uneasiness, anxiety or depression. Whether it's difficulties with or changes in relationships, or struggling with endings or new beginnings, it can help to talk to an impartial person to find some clarity. Sometimes change is driven by others, or maybe you need something to change but don't know the best way to go about it. Perhaps you’re finding that you’re stuck in a destructive communication pattern and feel like you’re going round in circles. Maybe you don’t really know what you want, but would like to find out. I can help.

If you're not sure why you're here, then maybe I can help find out why. You may feel sad or confused, or you may just want to understand what's on your mind.  Therapy can help you explore the issues you are currently having.  Talking to a neutral, non-judgmental person can help you understand your feelings. My approach is flexible, which I believe helps meet the individual's desired outcomes.  I am gentle and self-effacing, and I offer a caring environment to help you openly share your process.

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.
