Why Coaching?
About Me
My Methodology
As an integrative coach, I blend multiple techniques and methodologies tailored to your unique requirements, combining coaching and psychological principles, somatic awareness and self-reflective practices. I use cognitive behavioural coaching, acceptance commitment coaching and person-centred strategies, as well as incorporating visualisations and grounding techniques, but you won’t find my sessions formulaic.
Every session is led by you – I mix and match all of these techniques, and more, to meet your individual needs.
With questions that get to the bottom of what’s holding you back, I’ll encourage you to draw upon your own strengths, help you identify blind spots that might be hindering your growth, and strategise your next steps towards your goals. This means that everyone’s journey is different, but here are some of the guiding principles of my methodology.
Grow. Evolve. Thrive.
These three words show the path of progress. Just like a tree trunk gaining concentric rings year after year, our choices are built around our knowledge and experiences. Through coaching, you can move through these stages intentionally, which enables you to apply the tools we use in other areas of your life too!
When we grow, we choose action and seek change, even if there are challenges in our path.
When we evolve, we challenge old habits and adopt strategies that serve us better.
When we thrive, we reap the rewards of real, lasting changes, leading to a future that feels fulfilling, authentic and sustainable.
Metacognition & Somatics
Metacognition (thinking about thinking) and awareness of your body’s signals can help you gain a deeper understanding of the way your thoughts, senses, feelings and actions are related, so you can break unhelpful cycles and make intentional choices.
Making time to understand ourselves is particularly important to optimise performance in the education environment – for teachers and students – but it can be useful in any situation!
Through reflective coaching conversations or group training programmes, I’ll help you develop greater awareness of thinking patterns, how they impact decisions and well-being, and – most importantly – how you can reframe them to serve you better now, and in the future.
Client-Centred Safe Space
Coaching is all about you. The coaching session is a protected setting that gives you the time and space to reflect, free from pressure or expectation. You set the pace, the priorities, and the focus.
Have you ever shared your thoughts, only to find the focus quickly turns to someone else’s story?
I provide a non-judgemental, supportive environment to untangle doubt, help you uncover what you truly want, and challenge confused or limiting beliefs. This is your journey – I’m here to help you navigate it on your own terms.
Are you ready to make a change?
I can help.
Do you feel like you have lost your way?
Through coaching, you will experience the growth, clarity and empowerment that come with choosing your own path and taking an active role in shaping your life.
What are you waiting for?
Whether you’re paralysed by stress or burnout, considering a career transition or navigating dynamics in your personal relationships, I can work with you to uncover the best way forward and give you the tools to make it happen.
Whether you’re seeking clarity for yourself or guidance for your team, I’m always happy to discuss how we can work together – just get in touch!

Individual Programmes
I offer programmes which consist of a bundle of 5 or 8 sessions, which is usually about right for a focused exploration of a particular challenge or uncertainty in your life, whether you are considering a career change, need to make an important decision, or want to rekindle the spark in your relationship.
All programmes start with a free, no obligation consultation of up to 30 minutes, usually via online meeting, just to identify your focus areas and make sure that you are happy to commit to coaching with me.
One off, deep dive sessions are also available, depending on complexity. While most sessions take place online for your convenience, I can also offer in-person sessions (for London-based clients), either in a peaceful indoor setting or outdoors with a walk in a leafy London park.
Programmes for Educational Institutions
Coaching methodology as part of your institution’s culture can have game-changing benefits. Those who are coaching gain valuable insight into the thoughts and experiences of those they coach, allowing them to refine and target teaching or performance management processes.
In turn, coachees learn self-regulation, awareness of their own triggers and responses, independence and problem-solving skills. Where one-to-one coaching isn’t feasible, the use of metacognitive and mindfulness practices alongside coaching style questioning in lessons or CPD sessions encourages students and staff to identify and address their own strengths and gaps.
Coaching strategies built into wellbeing policy can also provide early indicators of stress, burnout and anxiety, enabling these issues to be addressed quickly, without stigma.
