I am a Clinical Psychologist specialising in EMDR therapy and EMDR-informed coaching.
You may look like you’re coping well on the outside, but inside feel anxious, exhausted or close to burnout. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning professionals who carry a lot of responsibility, struggle to switch off, and feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, pressure or emotional overload. You might be dealing with anxiety, stress, sleep problems or the lingering impact of past experiences, and want things to feel calmer, clearer and more sustainable again.

You may be someone who is outwardly coping, managing responsibilities, relationships and expectations, yet privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or unsure of what you need. You might notice yourself feeling responsible for others while struggling to prioritise yourself, or finding that the same relational difficulties repeat despite insight or effort. Perhaps you feel emotionally shut down at times or easily flooded. You may feel lonely or unseen, even within close relationships. You want more than strategies to cope and wish to understand yourself more deeply and to create meaningful, lasting change.

The way to heal is to get to the root cause of the problem, this eliminates symptoms and leaves you in charge of your life rather than feeling it's running you.
Healing is about time, place and person. When you are ready the right person will appear. Personal recommendations can be helpful, but in my experience you know the right person for you. I offer a 20 minute discovery call where you can see for yourself if we are the right fit. You and I will both know if this feels "right" and we can chat about the different ways in which I work to see what's best and where you would like to start. I work in an integrated way using talking therapies, bodywork, breathwork, energy healing, flower essences and sleep hygiene to support your journey to wellness. I cannot wait to connect with you.

Maybe now's the time for breakthrough discoveries and a brand new life you'll love.
Success is often depicted as a series of milestones achieved through talent, hard work, and perseverance. Yet, there’s a hidden dimension to success that goes beyond external accomplishments. The "secret language of success" includes understanding and overcoming personal emotional challenges that can impede our progress. Every successful individual has faced various personal challenges. Typically, the impact of such challenges goes unnoticed for quite some time. Anxiety can make it hard for us to focus and perform. Depression can cast a shadow over our aspirations. Low self-esteem and self-doubt can inhibit our confidence.

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.
