While working for the charity MIND, I managed a team of counsellors working with high risk young people and adults struggling with and experiencing high levels of stress from very busy and demanding workplaces, issues with family, relationships and friendship breakdowns, and life changing decisions.
I offer Clinical Supervision and Counselling. My background is in education, providing support for students from Primary, Secondary, Sixth Form/College, and University. While working with a diverse range of people, I have received specialist training for working with students and adults with Autism, ADHD, Asperger's and challenging behaviour. I have also previously worked in a Specialist Autistic (SRP) unit. I also work with adults and those that have received a late diagnosis to help accept, adjust and make sense of this impact on their lives and that of their family.

Life can often be seen that we put the needs of others' before our own, therefore neglecting ourselves and experiencing difficult environments and emotions.

This is an extremely troubling time, I am experienced in working online. I work with Individuals and couples with anxiety, depression and finding ways of coping. Talking about sex, sexuality and relationships can be extremely difficult. Our own feelings of shame can keep us feeling trapped and feel that there is nowhere to go. I offer a non judgemental space to be able to talk sensitively working to resolve issues. We will agree the focus of the work from the outset and keep this in mind throughout the journey together. We will work together to facilitate change in the areas you feel are needed.

A successful counselling relationship is built on creating an authentic, confidential space between client and therapist. This is a safe place where you can openly explore your challenges, worries, anxieties, frustrations and emotional struggles. Within this supportive environment, you are met with empathy and without judgement, allowing time and space to reflect on the experiences that have brought you to counselling.

My clients are adults and adolescents who appear to be coping on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected inside. Many are tired of holding everything together and feel stuck in patterns of stress, overthinking, or emotional reactivity, sometimes without knowing why. They may be sensitive, reflective, or neurodivergent and feel deeply affected by pressure, relationships, or past experiences. They want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more like themselves again, with support that is respectful, paced, and genuinely helpful. They want therapy to improve their lives now and help them move forward.

Having worked in elite and grassroots sport, and as a leader in business, I have seen the transformative impact that comes from learning skills to handle difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively, so they have less impact and influence over you.

I bring a rich life experience to counselling, including teaching, business, charity work, governance, leading small teams, healthcare practice and administration.
What do you need? It is sometimes helpful to ask yourself - "What are my main goals as I go for counselling? What is important to me right now? How would I like to change?" Often all someone needs is some quality time and space to be able to be themselves, and be heard - not feeling judged no matter what they say, and feel some compassion from somebody who cares. In the busy and sometimes harsh world in which we live, I provide that space for you to come as you are, work with your expressed goals, rediscover a new way forward, and deal with the problems you are experiencing. Often people find a positive change in this scenario.

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.
