Counselling
You don't have to arrive knowing exactly what you want to say.
Many people come to counselling because something in their life no longer feels the way it once did. For some, that's the death of someone they love. For others, it's the end of a relationship, changes at work, caring responsibilities or simply a growing sense that something doesn't feel quite right.
Counselling offers the time and space to pause, explore what's happening and begin to make sense of it. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach is relational and integrative, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches according to your needs rather than expecting you to fit into one particular model.
I have a particular interest in grief, bereavement and loss, while recognising that loss takes many forms. It may be the loss of a person, a relationship, a role, a future you imagined, or a sense of who you once were. Some losses are less visible, but can still have a profound impact. These might accompany separation, pet loss, relationship and career changes or other life transitions. I also work with work-related stress and burnout, perfectionism, loneliness and relationship difficulties.
You don't need to have all the answers before we begin. Sometimes it simply helps to have a conversation.
Coaching
Coaching offers the opportunity to step back, think clearly and move forward with greater confidence and purpose.
Drawing on more than 10 years of experience in behavioural change, leadership development, and coaching, I work with individuals who want a dedicated space to reflect, explore possibilities, and make meaningful progress toward what matters most to them.
Coaching is collaborative and practical, creating space to understand where you are, what you want to change and how you might move forward in a way that is meaningful and sustainable. Unlike counselling, coaching is usually centred around a particular goal, decision or area of development.
My approach is thoughtful, not prescriptive. I won't tell you what to do or offer ready-made solutions. Instead, I'll help you ask better questions, see things from different perspectives and identify practical steps that feel authentic and achievable.
For some people, coaching is exactly what they need. For others, counselling may be the better fit. Sometimes the two can work alongside one another, as long as we're clear from the outset about the purpose of our work together and agree on the most appropriate approach. Above all, coaching is about creating the time and space to think well, make intentional decisions and move forward with greater clarity.
If you are interested in psychometrics, I am a Lumina Learning practitioner. Lumina offers a range of assessments that explore your personas, how you show up at your most natural, and how that shifts when you are under pressure or feeling overwhelmed.
Consulting
Alongside my private practice, I continue to work selectively with organisations and leaders on behavioural change, leadership development and workplace wellbeing.
Before training as a counsellor, I spent more than twenty years working as a solicitor, General Counsel and consultant, helping organisations navigate complexity, lead change and develop their people. That experience continues to inform the way I work today.
My consulting work combines commercial understanding with an appreciation of the human side of organisational life. I now choose consulting projects carefully so that they complement, rather than compete with, my counselling practice.
If you're looking for support with facilitation, teaching, leadership, behavioural change, coaching or organisational development, I'd be happy to discuss whether we're the right fit to work together.
