I've found our session amazingly useful. I'm now able to recognise 'okay, this is the way I'm feeling' and then actually have the ammunition - the skills to do something about how I'm feeling. That is awesome

How I Can Help You
Feeling a bit stuck or overwhelmed? You're not alone. Together, we can work through these challenges using practical, evidence-based techniques that create real change in your daily life.
Lifting Low Mood
Finding it hard to get out of bed? Lost interest in things you used to enjoy? Together we'll uncover what's keeping you stuck and build practical daily habits that gradually bring back your energy and joy. You'll learn to spot and challenge those pesky negative thoughts that drag you down.
Taming Worry and Anxiety
Is your mind constantly racing with "what-ifs" that keep you awake at night? We'll work together to understand your unique anxiety patterns and develop practical tools to calm your nervous system. You'll learn to face feared situations step by step, building confidence as you go.
Breaking Free from Procrastination
Fed up with putting things off until the last minute? We'll get to the root of what's really holding you back (it's rarely just laziness!). Using simple, practical techniques, you'll learn to overcome resistance, break tasks down into manageable steps, and develop momentum that keeps you moving forward.
Managing Difficult Emotions
Do stress, anger, jealousy or hurt feelings seem to take over at the worst moments? I'll help you understand what triggers these emotions and how your thoughts fuel them. Through practical exercises and gentle exploration, you'll develop skills to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically.
Building Healthy Relationships
Finding it hard to connect with others or speak up for yourself? Through our work together, you'll discover how to communicate your needs clearly, set healthy boundaries, and handle conflict with confidence. We'll explore relationship patterns that might be holding you back from the connections you deserve.
Finding Balance & Rebuilding Joy
Feeling burnt out and like you're just going through the motions? We'll work together to identify what truly matters to you and create space for these values in your daily life. You'll develop a personalised toolkit for managing stress and rediscover activities that bring you genuine satisfaction.
Ready to feel better? It all starts with a friendly chat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our coaching and CBT services.
1 What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a type of talking therapy that helps individuals identify and change unhealthy thinking and behavior patterns. It focuses on current problems and equips people with practical skills to manage challenges.
2 Do I have to talk about my past?
You have the freedom to choose what you share. In CBT, we primarily focus on current attitudes and beliefs related to present or recurring events. However, if revisiting past experiences would be beneficial, we can explore that too.
3 Does it mean I'm weak or have failed if I want or need coaching?
Seeking coaching is a sign of strength, not weakness. Just like athletes benefit from coaches, personal coaching helps you overcome challenges and thrive.
4 How long do sessions go for?
Regular sessions usually last up to 50 minutes. I also offer double sessions which can help super-charge the efficiency of coaching.
