“Being human is not hard because you’re doing it wrong, it’s hard because you’re doing it right. You will never change the fact that being human is hard, so you must change your idea that it was ever supposed to be easy.” – Glennon Doyle, Untamed.
Throughout our lives we all face challenges; stress from relationships, families, work, finances, health. At times we experience grief and loss, we can feel scared, sometimes stuck or hopeless, lonely, overwhelmed by choices. We can question ourselves and our direction in life. Wherever you are, I can provide a collaborative presence, offering support, a safe, non-judgemental space, a compass to guide you, not diagnosing or “fixing” you. Focusing not so much on the past, but on the present and the future.
I offer both in person and online sessions.
Stress & Burnout
Stress is our body’s natural physical and mental reaction to pressure, difficult situations, or sudden life changes. However, long-term or severe stress can harm our health and well-being.
Grief & Loss
The word “grief” is often linked with bereavement. But grief can show up in all kinds of places: the end of a relationship, a friendship, a job, a diagnosis, a version of our life that we had to leave behind.
Relationships
Relationship stress directly triggers our nervous system arousal, often heightening our anxiety, lowering our emotional resilience, and with it our mood and our self-esteem.
Family Issues
Nobody has a “perfect” childhood, but some families function in healthier ways than others. Dysfunctional families have unhealthy patterns of communication, conflict, and behaviour.
Coping With Change
Research shows that most people experience a major life transition every 12 to 18 months. These events can be personal, like a divorce or job loss, or shared, like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Life Coaching
What’s the difference between counselling and life coaching? Counselling is about healing and recovery, life coaching is about thriving – but there is a huge overlap between them.
