I am passionate about the ability of the brain to heal and helping clients to understand how this is possible, enabling recovery, the strengthening of resilience and the ability to cope with life and the accompanying stressors in a much more effective way.
I use a pluralistic approach combining person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT and many other effective approaches to adapt to each individual need. I believe in the neuroplasticity of our brain and the ability we have to be able to heal from the many difficult blows life may throw at us, provided we have the correct support and environment.

Initially we would deeply examine your issues, and together make a plan to address them in various ways that help you get your life back on track.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety/panic, stress, depression, trauma, often related to relationships or family, or physical illness, I offer a safe space, using a wide range of treatment types, working out with each client what would be most helpful, in both Western therapies such as CBT and DBT, couples therapy and Eastern energy/body work which can work together holistically towards healing both body and mind. We would initially explore what brought you to therapy and decide what would help most to make a sustained improvement in your feelings, your thinking, and all aspects of your physical and mental health and wellbeing.

Summoning the courage to talk to a professional about what is distressing us can be the most difficult, but also the most powerful step towards improving our wellbeing and our lives to a standard that we are more satisfied with and that we deserve. I aim to create a space where the client feels safe, whilst also communicating trust, compassion and understanding so that I may understand what their current experience is truly like for them. I integrate various schools and models of therapy, which I have assessed, are the best intervention for a client in each session and closely monitor their reaction to these.

Just imagine handing a 17 year old the keys to a car on his birthday and saying "Off you go. Drive round Belfast, London or wherever" We'd never dream of it. Yet that is exactly what we do when a newly married couple leaves their wedding. We wish them luck and assume they'll figure it out as they go. But the truth is, love is not all you need as many of you know!

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.
