In the initial series of therapy sessions, we will explore the presenting issues and how it is effecting your life in terms of your emotional realm, thought process and energy levels.
Sometimes in our lives our thoughts can become scattered and our emotions like anxiety, sadness and overwhelm can begin to weigh heavy on our hearts with how intense they can be. We also may not understand where our negative thoughts are coming from and why they feel emotionally exhausting. This can lead to a situation where someone may experience emotional burnout. There is a belief in psychotherapy that shining a light on an issue and gaining clarity and a full understanding of why and how suffering is occurring allows a person to take back there lifeforce energy and remove power and control from the overwhelming thoughts.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in your thoughts, or carrying grief that feels heavier than you expected. Maybe you’re exhausted from overthinking, people-pleasing, masking, or trying to hold everything together. You want to feel calmer, clearer, more like yourself again. I offer a warm, grounded and non-judgmental space where you can slow down and untangle what’s going on. I work holistically, looking at the whole of you — your thoughts, emotions, past experiences, relationships and values. I draw from CBT, ACT, psychodynamic approaches and mindfulness.

Life can be a struggle, but you do not need to be alone in it - Attending therapy in the past helped me understand myself and what I wanted and needed out of life.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed and unable to focus? Feeling worried, struggling with the world today. Recovery is possible - I use Trauma Informed Care, EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I focus on working with clients struggling with Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Trauma and Unresolved Childhood Issues. When I first meet with a client, we discuss what has brought them to therapy. With this information we discuss how we will work with together. The first session with any new client is to assess if we can work together and if the client feels comfortable with continuing the therapeutic process.

You might be someone who appears to be coping on the outside but feels anxious, low, or uncertain underneath. Perhaps you struggle with self-doubt, overthinking, or a persistent sense that you’re not “enough.” You may be questioning your direction, your relationships, or your sense of purpose. You want clarity, steadiness, and a deeper understanding of yourself. You want space to think, feel, and speak openly, without being judged or rushed. Most of all, you want to feel more grounded and confident in who you are and the choices you make.

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.
