Counselling & Coaching Practice Summary

I offer a thoughtful, integrative counselling and coaching practice for individuals, leaders, and professionals who want to understand themselves more deeply and make meaningful, sustainable change. My work supports people navigating complexity—whether that is emotional distress, life transitions, leadership pressure, relational challenges, or questions of purpose and direction.

As a BACP counsellor and ICF-accredited executive coach, I combine psychological depth with practical focus. This allows me to work both therapeutically—exploring patterns, emotions, and past experience—and developmentally, helping clients clarify goals, strengthen resilience, and move forward with confidence and integrity. I am particularly experienced in working with senior leaders, charity and public-sector professionals, and individuals in values-driven or high-responsibility roles.

My approach is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in compassion. I draw on established psychological frameworks, coaching models, and relational practice, adapting my work carefully to the needs of each client. Sessions provide a confidential, containing space to think clearly, feel understood, and develop new ways of responding to challenge—at work and in life.

I work with adults on a one-to-one basis, offering both counselling and coaching, depending on what is most appropriate. My aim is not simply symptom relief or performance improvement, but deeper understanding, increased agency, and lasting personal and professional growth.

What You Can Expect From Working With Me

My practice offers a calm, confidential, and reflective space where you can slow things down and make sense of what is happening in your life or work. People come to me for many reasons: feeling overwhelmed or stuck, navigating change or loss, managing pressure or responsibility, or wanting to understand themselves more deeply. You do not need to have clear answers before you begin; part of the work is discovering them together.

I work collaboratively rather than giving advice or quick fixes. I listen carefully, reflect back what I notice, and ask thoughtful questions to help you explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and choices. I am active and engaged in sessions, offering both support and gentle challenge where it may be helpful.

I offer both counselling and coaching and will discuss with you which approach is most appropriate. Counselling tends to focus on emotional experience, wellbeing, and understanding longstanding patterns, while coaching is more explicitly developmental and goal-focused. In practice, the work often combines depth with practicality, and we will review the focus together as things evolve.

At the outset, we will agree clear boundaries and practical arrangements, including confidentiality, session frequency, and review points. Sessions are structured but flexible: you may bring a specific issue, or we may begin with what feels most present for you that day.

I work at a pace that feels manageable, reviewing progress regularly. I aim to offer a respectful, non-judgemental space and practise in line with professional and ethical standards, with regular supervision to support safe, reflective work.
