When we try to surpress strong emotions, they have a nasty habit of impacting on our lives in other ways through our behaviours. We can try to ignore them or numb them but they are still there. After a while the pressure grows and it starts to impact on those around us, our jobs, our families. You may feel alone and isolated and struggling to find the answer.

This means using affirming language; exploring life experiences though an ND perspective; focus on identifying and embracing characteristics and strengths.
Hello and welcome! I'm Philippa, an experienced and qualified therapist specialising in working with Autistic/ADHD adults (age 21+). Therapy is not a one-size-fits all, and being openly Neurodivergent myself means you'll experience therapy with someone who shares your language. Clients often tell me that it's refreshingly different to past therapy because "I just get it". ​ I can support you with how neurodivergence relates to: - Anxiety - Burn out - Family/issues/conflict - Low confidence - Late diagnosis - Masking - Perfectionism - People pleasing - Rejection Sensitivity (RSD)

Specialties • Anxiety & stress management • Burnout & work- life balance • Self-esteem & confidence building • Loss & bereavement • Life transitions & personal change • Relationship with self & others • Work-related pressure, isolation & overwhelm • Low mood & depression
I’m an integrative therapist, which is a fancy way of saying I don’t believe one size fits all People are complex, layered, contradictory… and therapy should be able to meet that. My work is strongly influenced by connection theory — because real change doesn’t happen through techniques alone, it happens through relationship. Feeling seen, understood, and safe enough to be honest (even about the stuff you’ve never said out loud) is where the real work begins I believe therapy should feel human, not clinical. Insight matters, but so does humour.

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.

Our Clients are typically busy individuals who are passionate about what they do and excel at work, they range in ages from 30-mid 60s and are based all over the world. The common factors are they are all genuinely seeking a monogamous long-term relationship and are in a positive state of mind for dating.

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.
