I am currently undergoing a therapeutic art life coach certification.
My ideal client is someone who values authenticity, seeks neuroaffirming support, wants something different, values compassion and understanding, and is on a journey of self-discovery. You are looking for an approach that diverges from traditional psychological and medical models. Perhaps you've found that conventional methods haven't resonated with you or addressed your unique needs. You're also open to exploring integrative and holistic practices that consider the mind, body, and spirit.

Over 20 years experience has enabled me to offer skilled support and practical approaches to help clients address a wide range of life challenges.
We don't learn from experience. We learn from reflecting on experience. The quality of our learning depends on the quality of our reflecting. Moreover, insight alone can still leave us stuck in patterns of being or relating. We need to take action or do things differently to change our outcomes. The right support can make all the difference, and has done so for local and international clients.

Whether you simply need someone to talk to - to better explore and unpack your current situation or past circumstances - or whether you are actively wanting to engage in changing certain thought, emotional and behavioural patterns that may be limiting you in your life, my approach can be of great value to you.
My role as a counsellor is to help my clients to see themselves more clearly. When we take a step back and observe ourselves - our thinking, our emotions, our everyday behaviours - we put ourselves in a position of power. We become self-aware, which gives us the option of choosing different responses to life.

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.
