Life Coaching Counselling in Angus
I view my job as helping you to say what it is that is troubling you and then working out what it is that you might want to change in your life and then helping you put that into practice.
A lot of my work is around trauma which client's have suffered, whether because of something that has happened to or how they were treated by parents/partners/others. Trauma is often at the root of addiction; bereavement can be traumatising and anxiety is very oftem associated with trauma. I am trained in trauma work and it is a key element of my practice.

As a pluralistic counsellor I hold the view that different things work for different people at different points in their life and that no client's experience is the same.

There are many reasons why life can feel difficult and I would work alongside you to explore your unique story, how and why you have arrived at this point. As a psychodynamic practitioner I have witnessed the profound benefits of uncovering the links between current patterns of behaviours, emotions, thoughts and our personal history.

Life can be a challenge, especially now.
My extensive experience is that everyone’s starting point is different and so I don’t have a “standard” approach. A strong relationship with your therapist is the foundation to connecting with unresolved thoughts, feelings, hopes and fears. As I get to know you, I work with you in a way that suits you and your unique situation.

I have struggled with bulimia and binge eating my whole life, and having the lived experience of an eating disorder helps me to understand the highs and the lows of eating behaviours.
I believe we all have the ability in us to make the changes that help us live our lives happier and fulfilled. I am honest, and I will ask questions to challenge you
If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and distress about your eating behaviours?
If you feel dread over the next meal or anxiety around food?
Do you reach for food as a reward and then not be able to stop?
Sometimes, past events/trauma can cause a lot of anxiety around food and our behaviour towards food. This can lead to different types of eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. What can we do to find peace with ourselves and with food.

As a registered counsellor, I really believe that each of us has the essence and capacity to grow and that your life experiences deserve to be heard.
My therapeutic practice is rooted in Transactional Analysis (TA). This counselling approach is based on the principle that each of us has a Parent, Adult, and Child within us, influencing our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. TA recognises that our early life experiences play a key role in shaping who we become and how we present in our day-to-day lives.

Maybe you've spent years feeling like you had to be someone else—constantly trying to meet the expectations of others. Whether it’s unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or the weight of anxiety and depression, it can leave you feeling disconnected from your true self. You might find yourself stuck in people-pleasing, overworking, masking, or repressing your emotions. Coping can turn into unhealthy patterns like self-harming, developing addictions, OCD, or eating disorders. Together, we can unravel those patterns, understand how your past is shaping your present, and help you develop what you need to feel good in your own skin.

I also work with people navigating grief, trauma, and major life decisions.
I draw mainly on a person-centred approach, but I adapt sessions to fit your needs blending techniques where it helps. Every client is different and I believe therapy should reflect that.

CAT is particularly helpful for understanding how early life events and relationships influence individual behaviour and emotions, and developing better ways of relating to our self and to others.

I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Analytical Therapy (CAT) as my main approaches, however I'm also accredited Clinical Psychologist in Portugal. This means that I'm able to draw upon a number of different psychological approaches to meet the individual needs of my clients. CBT helps people learn how to identify and change the destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on their behavior and emotions

You may be living with anxiety or trauma alongside neurodiversity (ADHD, autism) or the emotional shifts linked to PMDD or perimenopause.

Therapy offers a steady space to understand your nervous system, your history and the patterns shaping your present

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.
