Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, or going through a life transition, I can help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with more clarity and confidence.
In our work together, we’ll gently explore what’s been weighing on you, understand the patterns that keep showing up, and find new ways forward that feel more aligned and empowering.

I specialise in helping women overcome emotional eating, sugar addiction, and binge eating through Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and coaching.
I work mainly with women who are stuck in a cycle of emotional eating, sugar addiction, or binge eating. My clients have tried countless diets but know their struggles are rooted in deeper emotions and beliefs. They crave lasting transformation – to feel in control around food and break free from guilt and shame. Their goal is peace with food and their body, driven by self-acceptance, not punishment. They are ready to heal, seeking a compassionate guide to help her rewrite their story and build new, empowering habits.

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.
