Life & Therapeutic Coaching
For individuals navigating challenges, transitions & decisions
Maybe you’re feeling stuck.
Maybe you’re navigating a life stage or transition.
Maybe you’re going through a period of uncertainty and confusion.
Maybe you’re dealing with a difficult interpersonal or work situation.
Maybe you want to start something new, but haven’t quite got the confidence yet.
Maybe you have an important decision to make.
Maybe you know something needs to change.
Maybe you’re just trying to figure something out.
If one or more of these feel like you, then you’re in the right place.
The first step is Awareness.
The second is Acceptance.
The third is Action.
In Life, Personal & Therapeutic Coaching, you are met with compassion. What you bring is explored with curiosity.
What you leave with is a deeper understanding of yourself, greater clarity on your challenges, transitions & decisions, and practical next steps.
It is not just a chat. It is an active and collaborative partnership and transformative process, with you as the focus.
Coaching Outcomes:
Clarify your personal values and explore how your life and work meet them, or where attention is needed.
Talk through your current challenges, transitions & decisions and what changes you are hoping for.
Identify your passions and aversions, successes and struggles, strengths and growing edges.
Explore patterns, beliefs and blind spots that might be getting in your way.
Experiment with tools, techniques and different ways of being and doing.
Map out actions, resources and next steps.
Your Coach:
Sitting across from another human, listening and providing support, is an immense privilege, and one I take very seriously. My practice is, at its heart, ethical and anti-oppressive.
My approach to coaching is integrative, influenced by psychodynamic, behavioural and humanistic psychological principles; as well as body-based approaches (breathwork, mindfulness, somatic work). I blend leadership and career knowledge, coaching techniques, and psychoeducation, in service to each client, tailoring sessions to their individual needs.
Real-World Experience:
Lived experience of career change: Technologist > Delivery/Project Manager > Portfolio/Programme Lead > Executive Leadership
Former Head of People, resulting in a sound understanding of employment and recruitment

Coaching With Integrity
Life & Therapeutic Coaching can be emotive, and though there is some overlap, it is not counselling or psychotherapy. I hold this in mind at all times, and should we come close to very delicate material (i.e. abuse, complex trauma, etc), I will be mindful of the limitations of the coaching practice. As a trainee therapist, I do not yet offer counselling or psychotherapy via my private practice, but I do work with low-cost counselling services. I am happy to make suggestions for where you can get further support.
