Emotional wellbeing coaching is a collaborative, client-led space designed to help you gain clarity, direction, and steadiness during times that feel overwhelming, confusing, or emotionally tangled.

Rather than offering advice or “fixing” you, I work in partnership with you — supporting you to deepen awareness, explore what feels true, and identify aligned next steps. My role is to hold a compassionate, non-judgemental space where your own insight and inner wisdom can emerge.

Coaching and counselling are both powerful, transformative modalities — they simply serve different purposes.

Counselling and psychotherapy often focus on exploring the past, understanding patterns, processing trauma, and supporting people through mental illness or emotional distress. They are essential spaces for deep healing and clinical support.

Coaching, by contrast, is primarily forward-focused. It centres on where you are now and where you want to move toward. Rather than analysing the past, we work with your present awareness to build clarity, confidence, and aligned action.

Many people find coaching especially supportive after doing therapeutic work — once they have explored their history and are ready to rebuild, realign, and move forward in a way that feels authentic and steady.

If someone is experiencing significant mental health difficulties, active trauma symptoms, or requires clinical care, counselling or therapy would be the more appropriate support. Coaching can complement therapy, but it does not replace it.

Both approaches honour growth. The key is finding the right container for where you are in your journey.

Each session is a 50-minute, confidential conversation where we focus on what feels most present and important to you.

You might bring a specific challenge, a sense of feeling stuck, self-doubt, or a life transition. Through thoughtful questions, reflection, and gentle structure, I help you untangle what’s going on and reconnect with your own clarity. I will sometimes use coaching models such as the GROW or OSCAR model to ensure we make momentum toward goals.

At times, we may incorporate light somatic awareness — noticing what’s happening in the body — to support integration. Everything is invitational, and always led by your pace and consent.

Not at all.

Many people come to coaching precisely because they don’t feel clear. Feeling messy, conflicted, or unsure is welcome here. Together, we can gently explore what’s emerging and allow direction to unfold naturally.

Coaching is about supporting your agenda — not imposing one.

During our initial discovery session, we will do a review of your ‘wheel of life’ where we understand the full picture of your life map. From this we can understand the areas that aren’t so fulfilling, and what feels good. This exploration often gives clarity on what may be useful to focus on.

If you are experiencing mild to moderate emotional overwhelm, life transitions, or self-doubt, coaching can be deeply supportive.

However, coaching is not appropriate for crisis situations, active eating disorders, unmanaged trauma symptoms, or severe mental health conditions requiring clinical care. In those cases, therapy or medical support is essential.

If I ever feel coaching is not the right container for you, I will communicate that transparently and compassionately, I have an ethical duty to do so.

Yes. Our sessions are confidential and held in accordance with professional ethical guidelines.

The only exception would be if there were concerns about serious risk of harm to you or others, in which case I would follow appropriate safeguarding procedures. This is always explained clearly before we begin working together.

I work to ethical guidelines, namely the International Coaching Federation’s Core Competences and Ethical Frameworks. I will always work in accordance with these to ensure I always prioritise your physical and psychological safety.

Being trauma-informed means I prioritise safety, consent, pace, and nervous system awareness.

I understand — cognitively and somatically — how overwhelm can show up in the body and mind. I will never push, rush, or override your experience. You are the expert in your life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering grounded presence and thoughtful guidance.

I have completed specific and detailed trauma informed training through charity work and trauma informed yoga training.

This varies and is led by you.

Some clients come for a short series of sessions to navigate a specific transition. Others choose longer-term support as they rebuild or realign.

We can review regularly to ensure the work continues to feel useful and aligned.

I work to a minimum of 6 sessions and we will generally set goals in 6 session increments.

In many cases, yes — coaching and therapy can complement one another beautifully.

Coaching can offer a forward-focused space alongside therapeutic work, particularly if you are wanting support with clarity, direction, or rebuilding while continuing to process deeper material in therapy.

However, it’s important that any professionals involved in your care are aligned and working ethically. I am comfortable working within a multi-disciplinary context, but this would always be considered on a case-by-case basis. Open communication and clarity of roles are essential to ensure your wellbeing remains at the centre.

If you’re curious about whether this might be right for you, discuss with your existing professional(s) and please feel free to email me and we can explore it together.
