My approach to coaching
As a Transformational Wellbeing Coach, my role is to work with who you are now, rather than focussing too heavily on your past experiences, or questioning why things are the way that they are. I will truly see you, accept you, and together we will move forwards, rather than unpicking what is already behind you.
What separates coaching from things that may sound similar (like therapy, and mentoring) is that coaching works to the belief that all of the answers are already within you. I'm not going to tell you what to do, or try to change your brain chemistry. You already know what works best for your life and your body. But when life gets busy and stressful, it can be hard to tap into these needs, or make the necessary changes. This is particularly true when considering intersectionality, and how our society isn't built to serve most of us. I will work with you to identify what you need, and how to get there. As such, coaching is completely personalised to your needs. That means no judgement, and no expectation for you to fit a mould.
A lot of my clients are neurodivergent, or at least suspect they are. Generally speaking, people socialised as women are less likely to have been diagnosed, due to their higher levels of masking, people pleasing, and overachieving. If Tiktok has made you think you might be autistic/ have ADHD, or/and you are struggling with mysterious symptoms of chronic illness such as fatigue, below average immune system, IBS, hair loss, eczema, etc, let's talk - I see you, and I can support you.

I welcome people from all walks of life, all cultures, all belief systems, all genders, and anybody from the LGBTQIA+ community. I do my best to ensure my practice is as inclusive as possible, so if you have particular accessibility needs, please let me know and we can make it work.
A priority for me is consistently improving my awareness and education around intersectional topics, ensuring my understanding of how it plays out in society and impacts us is constantly evolving.
