Counselling and Coaching for Teens to Adults
Life brings many challenges, but you don’t have to face them alone. As a counsellor and coach, I feel privileged to provide a safe, supportive space to witness your story, help you navigate whatever you are experiencing and move toward the life you want.
Through counselling, we can explore and make sense of experiences, emotions, and patterns, past and present, that may feel difficult and overwhelming. Coaching will help you reconnect with your values, passion and purpose, giving you clarity and confidence to take meaningful steps forward.
I work with teenagers, young adults, and adults navigating transitions such as exams, university, career changes, relationships, or loss. Whether you’re facing challenges or seeking direction for your next chapter, I’ll support your journey with compassion and curiosity.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”
How Counselling can help you
As a qualified Counsellor, I create a safe, non-judgemental space where both individuals and couples can explore the issues they face. With a background in Transitional Analysis, I believe that our early life story impacts our present. I don’t offer advice or suggestions, instead, through a curious, compassionate exploration of your thoughts, feelings and behaviour, we’ll uncover patterns that may be holding you back and empower you to create meaningful change. Working collaboratively, sessions will help you to build a healthier relationship with yourself and others. As a classical musician, I enjoy weaving creative practices into sessions, enabling us to view experiences through a different lens.
Some clients I work with may:
Struggle with a specific issue in the present
Feel held back by past experiences
Want to explore the impact of a traumatic event
Experience a general sense of unease or disconnection
Want to work through relationship challenges in a safe, supportive space
Whatever you’re bringing, you don’t have to face it alone.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and I am committed to help you make sense of what you are experiencing, and find a way forward.
Individual sessions are weekly and 50-minute duration.
Couples sessions are weekly and 75-minute duration.
How Coaching can help you
As a qualified Transformational Coach, I’m passionate about helping others build lives that are purposeful, aligned with their deep held values, and are creative. I believe that having a coach in your corner, becomes your superpower. Our sessions will enable you to find your authentic voice, get in touch with your values and forge your own unique path. Coaching is recognised as a powerful tool for improving performance and enhancing personal effectiveness. Working at transition life stages, I support teenager, young adults and adults to identify their passion and purpose and realise their vision and goals.
Some clients I work with may:
Be unsure about their life direction and feel stuck
Be at a transition stage in life and need some support to move forwards
Be overwhelmed and heading for burnout
Be looking to strengthen their relationships and communicate more effectively
Seek clarity about their values, purpose and what’s important to them
Are you ready to take confident steps toward the future you want?
Sessions are available weekly or bi-monthly, with packages ranging from 6 weeks to 6 months
