ABOUT YOU.....
On paper, your life may look successful, you might have a great family, good job, a successful career yet inside of you there's a niggling feeling that just won't go away and as it gets more and more intense, you feel more frustrated, confused and trapped.
You know deep down that you're at a crossroads, knowing something needs to change but the change feels overwhelming or you don't know where to start. However you know that now is the time to make it happen and you can no longer ignore this feeling.
The good news is that you have come to the right place to pinpoint and create the changes that are nudging you from the inside. It is my absolute pleasure and privilege to work with clients just like you, and you can read more about my clients and their experiences of coaching with me, in my Testimonials.
Here are some examples of issues that can crop up when you get these feelings on the inside, and that I work with day-in, day out:
Leaving a relationship
Leaving a relationship is a massive decision and we can find ourselves going round in circles in our heads for a long time before we decide to make this our reality. If you have a family, the decision can feel tied up with a lot of guilt and you might be seeing a very bleak path ahead of you in your mind's eye.
I help you deeply explore your decision, understand it from a higher perspective and help you get past your fears. We might model how you could have the difficult conversations and break down the steps to move forward. By working with me, you will find heart-centred ways to end the relationship with integrity, courage, dignity and strength.
Creating stronger boundaries and Reclaiming your Life
When we feel taken advantage of, when we find ourselves saying 'yes' instead of 'no', our work day is consistently longer than it should be or our time is focused on others with little time for ourselves, we have weak personal boundaries. This can leave us feeling resentful, exhausted and disempowered.
I work with you to define where you need stronger boundaries, with whom and specifically what that means. We practice setting those boundaries and may rehearse difficult conversations to get you comfortable with doing so. We work on getting you into your strongest, most empowered you so that you can step into a place of balance, assertivness and self-respect.
Overcoming Imposter Syndrome & Low Confidence
You may be experiencing Imposter Syndrome, which is causing you to feel anxious a lot of the time , constantly worrying that you are going to put a foot wrong. As I remember very well, this is exhausting and draining and stops you being in your 'flow'. Even people in highly responsible positions can experience Imposter Syndrome and it's really common.
We will look at your beliefs about work and how you show up, tap into your strengths and explore the situations you find particularly challenging. We may role-play situations. These approaches mean you get to proactively work on feeling more comfortable and confident at work and practice the changes you need to make to show up as your most Capable and Empowered Self!
Overcoming Anxiety
You may be someone who is 'tuned in' to anxious thoughts and you find it hard to manage these. Anxiety can feel very restrictive and in my experience, the fear of experiencing Anxiety can often feel even worse. We might feel anxious that we will have a panic attack when going into certain situations, for example, out socially, attending meetings at work or going to a hospital appointment.
When working with me, you will find a different perspective on Anxiety and will have tools and concepts that you can use to shift your focus away from Anxiety, feeling more calm and in control. We will use meta-cognition, energy psychology techniques and thought re-structuring so that you will understand what is going on in your brain and find new ways to manage Anxiety. You feel more relaxed about experiencing Anxiety in the first place and it will become less and less of an issue.
Managing your business and life
If you're a business owner or in a responsible position at work, you might feel stressed at times, struggle with work-life balance, and feel like it's difficult to share your challenges.
I provide a confidential sounding board, and coach you to be your Best Self at work and at home. I help you find strategies to achieve work-life balance, and provide techniques to help you regulate your emotions.

Finding passion and purpose in your professional life
You might be feeling bored or stuck in your current job. The days may be painful at work and you just don't know if you should stay or go, what you could do instead and how you could make a change. You may lack the confidence to move after being in a job a long time.
If this is you, we will work together to really get to know your values, strengths and preferences, so that you can start tuning into what makes your heart sing in a job. We'll tap into your subconscious mind to explore deeply where your future lies and we'll start setting small, consistent goals to make a big change more manageable and comfortable. We'll also work on your confidence so that you can put your best foot forward and smash those interviews or step into self-employment feeling fully resourced.
