Perhaps you have spent years caring for others, meeting expectations, or simply getting through life while losing touch with self.
You may be self-aware, capable, and have spent years trying to understand yourself, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in the same patterns. I work with women over 40 who sense there is more to them than the roles, expectations, pain, and stories they have carried. Together, we explore what lies beneath these patterns, so you can remember who you are beneath the conditioning, pain, and stories that caused you to forget and begin your return to yourself.

My approaches support clients to metabolise and integrate these complex life experiences, deepening emotional embodiment, and restoring connection with innate wisdom, creative aliveness, and inner resources.
I work with arts-based, embodied and systemic approaches, all underpinned by Eastern and Jungian psychology orientations. Story, imagery, psychodrama, archetypes, art-making, family constellations - these are some of the doorways through which we might explore your experiences, healing and aspirations.

I offer counselling and therapeutic life coaching.
My specialisms include addiction, anxiety, depression, couples work, bereavement, relationship problems, self esteem, and trauma. I work with all sexual orientations and ethnicities. I use contemporary counselling theory, as well as less traditional theory. For example I spent seven years as a Buddhist monk and this also naturally informs my counselling work

Growing up and adulting can be challenging.

I offer trauma-informed counselling and holistic life coaching that is body-aware and practical.
I work with adults living with the lasting effects of childhood trauma, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm — including those who feel stuck in survival mode, disconnected from themselves, or repeating patterns in relationships and self-worth. Many feel they have lost their identity or never fully developed a sense of who they are.
I also work with women who feel lost — through motherhood, divorce, or simply years of putting everyone else first. My clients want more than insight. They want emotional stability, practical tools, healthier coping, and a grounded sense of direction and purpose — working with both the mind and body.

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.
