With over 25 years experience working as a therapist and my own life challenges, I am still continually stretching myself and increasing my knowledge and skills, for the benefit of my clients.
I believe the best person to understand and help deal with anxiety and trauma is someone who has experienced these, and I have. Over the last 25 years I have continually trained and have a Masters and BSc degree in Counselling and I use very effective Hypnotherapeutic techniques, Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques and most of all, how to listen to you.

Is anxiety and overthinking taking over your life?
I have chosen to specialise in working with neurodivergent clients because of my own lived experience, due to witnessing the challenges that can come with living in a world that is not always understanding or accepting of neurodivergent minds. The key to therapy is the client/therapist relationship, that’s why it is so important to find a good match for you.

No two people seek psychotherapy for the same reason, or respond to life events in the same way.
I work by first understanding your past experiences and relationships which affect how you deal with current life events and the people in your life. You may find yourself having the same reaction to people and feel unable to change this. You may have your favourite ‘bad feeling’, and I will work with you to find alternative, healthier choices.

My particular interest lies in guiding and encouraging people towards self-actualization and the integration of their fullest potential in whatever sphere of life they are engaged.
We identify and work with blockages that impede your unique personality from flowering. Often unconscious, our mindsets and reactive patterns of behaviour can restrict our vision of who we truly are and what we really want from life. Creating the life you want and experiencing happiness stem from self-acceptance - a place of unconditional positive regard.

Asking for help and seeking therapy can be difficult; you want someone to listen, but the idea of sharing your life experiences, thoughts and feelings can feel scary.
I consider the therapeutic relationship to be at the heart of effective therapy. It is this relationship that can elicit change and growth within the individual. My approach is integrative, which means I adapt and tailor to the needs of each client, understanding that not every modality suits every client. I offer 1 hour therapy sessions.

Through our work together we can identify unhelpful or destructive thoughts, feelings and behaviours. My professional passion is working with: Couples & Individuals with relationship problems (with others or self) Groups and Families.

People who are keen to re-orientate their lives in the direction of their values - towards what gives them a sense of meaning and purpose. Having a clearer idea of what really matters helps people motivate themselves - even to the extent of accepting the difficulties it may entail - to either change or persist - in behaviours that will move them in their valued directions. Typically, this approach can be powerfully effective in dealing with the pervasive problems of stress, anxiety and depression and other chronic issues where rigid patterns of avoidant behaviour have developed.

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.
