Feeling stuck? Is anxiety or low mood affecting your life? People usually come to therapy when they feel that they no longer have the ability to deal with the difficulties they are experiencing.
Therapy will help you explore repetitive patterns, which can impact the view that you hold for yourself and others, and the quality you experience in your interpersonal relationships. Sessions at times might focus on past experiences which might still affect you, in order to process them and find new ways to move forward and live a fulfilling life.

Psychological approaches can help manage and reduce symptom severity and help improve overall quality of life, so that you feel less restricted by your health and able to start living a rich and meaningful life.
Others come to me due to changes in their sleep or activity levels, or with low self esteem, chronic stress, and loss of identity. I also help people understand the ‘why’ behind their health behaviours, and how they can begin to change them. Together we build your understanding, and bring in approaches based on your goals and what is most important to you.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults, especially ADHDers, AUDHDers, and autistic people, helping them understand themselves, identify and break unhelpful patterns, and build a life that works for them.
My approach is neuro-affirmative, meaning I don’t see neurodivergence as a problem to “fix” but as natural differences in how people think and experience the world. I can help with: overwhelm, emotional regulation, perfectionism, self-doubt, motivation, focus, executive function, sensory sensitivity, energy levels, navigating relationships, transitions

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.
