How I Can Help

I combine my background in psychology with lived experience to offer practical, compassionate guidance. Whether you’re struggling personally, within your family, or at work, I help you clear what’s holding you back and create space for strength, confidence, and ease.

Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety or depression can be the outcome of genetics, brain chemistry, personality, life experiences, and beliefs, among other things. This can be a place of great pain. I have worked with numerous people who have been on anti-depressants for years under the guidance of psychiatrists, who have spontaneously come off them after our sessions together. Working with your individuality, by recognizing the issues behind the symptoms, we will gain clarity and ensure that you control the variables.

There is a record player in your mind, playing a particular tune that can be an overarching and unwelcome theme in your life. Changing the tune can be a daunting task, but it can definitely be done! No matter how long the tune has been playing. We will sift through your unique perspective together and understand your surroundings. You can certainly become settled in yourself, relaxed and self-assured without feeling fraudulently over-confident.
Relationships can be a source of great pleasure or deep pain, with a vast continuum in between. There are numerous do’s, and also probably shouldn’t do’s. We very often give ourselves leeway to get away with things we don’t realise are making our relationships difficult for us. This is difficult to see on ourselves so we need a third-party perspective who we know has our back. Communication does not mean the ability to speak a language. It is worth more to sift through nuances and notice what is unsaid! We will enhance your individual style while looking at outcomes and the vital skill of communicating intentions clearly, including understanding the intentions of others.
Numerous moving parts need to come together to thrive in the workplace. Navigating politics and power tactics included. We need to exert influence while retaining our personal ethics. Are we entrepreneurial or do we function better in a corporate space? How do we get the best out of our scenarios? What are the risks and practical challenges? Above all, how is our work-life enjoyment stacking up? We often learn these things too slowly. Life coaches may not ever have had the real-life experiences required to navigate these waters. My work with my clients has provided a steady compass to stabilise the boat and sail forward. My personal experiences include entrepreneurship, corporate environments, mergers and acquisitions, risk management, human resource management, legal experience, negotiating, strategy and industry insights, corporate culture, procurement, service, sales, marketing, client relations, corporate designs and branding, and, most importantly, finding the best croissants for the office socials.
