Life Coaching Counselling in Newtownabbey
I have over 20 years experience working with individuals with the complexities of life.
You may be ambitious, creative, or in a leadership role yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, trauma, burnout, addictions, low self-esteem, or relationship issues. You might feel pressure to hold it all together while battling self-doubt or disconnection. Your goal is often to find balance, regain confidence, and build healthier relationships with yourself and others. You want to feel calmer, more grounded, and able to step beyond your comfort zone with clarity and courage, without the weight of overwhelm holding you back.

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.

It can be a huge step to decide to talk to a counsellor/psychotherapist about personal issues so it is important to find someone you are comfortable with, who will not judge you but accept you for who you are. I offer office based and/or telephone therapy. The relationship between therapist and patient is fundamentally important. I liken psychotherapy to being in a clothing shop changing room where we get a unique view of ourselves from all angles. Likewise therapy is about helping someone to glimpse and explore hidden parts of themselves or just helping them make sense of their distress.
I am trained in EMDR

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.
