Life Coaching Counselling in Rochester
I primarily work with Anxiety, Depression and PTSD and their associated symptoms but these can occur from a vast range of life changing events, therefore I provide bespoke Counselling based on your individual life experiences.
Good rapport with your Counsellor's the first step towards achieving change. My Counselling approach is different to anything my clients (both Adults & Children) have experienced before and it's because of this, they've felt at ease quickly and gained maximum benefit from their sessions. I've Counselled since 2019 and have a diverse range of additional skills that I integrate into my Counselling work. I work with Victims of Crime within Kent, as well as Children & Families who've been bereaved. I have over 10yrs experience working with Children & Young People, including those with additional needs, so my approach is inclusive.

I understand that life can be a challenge and at times it may be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but I want to assure you that you do not have to go through life’s struggles by yourself.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy allows us to recognise that our beliefs and interpretations of events can impact our emotional reactions. By challenging and modifying unhelpful beliefs, you can experience a shift in how you perceive and respond to situations. Our work will vary and will be tailored around your needs.

I've also worked with the RIBA & understand the complex emotions arising from challenges such as relationships, bereavement, anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed with life’s demands & many other concerns.
My background in working for organisations across London & Kent gave me a particular understanding of the emotional challenges that many of us face including, depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, bereavement, relationship & family issues. I believe that evidence based psychological therapies such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) along with an integrative counselling approach allows flexibility in dealing with each individual’s needs.

Sometimes it's about coping strategies and supporting my clients through a tough time or loss, want to change something about how they feel, think or behave, many look to free themselves of the past whilst some aren't sure exactly what they need, they simply feel the struggle to be happy in their life or relationships
Trauma and Relationships I am truly passionate about; my past and lack of understanding had me struggle (that's a good thing) and it lead me to understand my struggles, the routes and decisions to find peace and contentment in life and relationships. I found myself training and engaging so deeply in finding answers to help others it helped me and in doing so; I see and can proclaim the power of Psychotherapy in developing the mind, behaviour and attitudes to overcome life challanges. Use an accredited specialist in the area you have difficulty with, make sure you and they have compatibility.

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.
