Life Coaching for Personal Growth
When Coaching Might Be Right for You
- Feel stuck but aren’t sure how to move forward
- Have goals but struggle with the “how”
- Want to reduce overwhelm and increase life satisfaction
- Need accountability and support to make changes
- Are ready to invest time and energy in yourself
- Want practical strategies that work with your lifestyle
Why Work With Me?
After 17 years as a teacher, I experienced complete burnout. That crisis became my catalyst to understand how change actually works.
I bring academic rigour alongside practical experience. With an MSc in Psychology, membership with the Association of Coaching and British Psychological Society, and published peer-reviewed research on therapeutic approaches, I understand both the science and the lived experience of transformation.
What makes my approach different is the combination:
- Evidence-based methods – No vague “positive vibes,” just proven strategies
- Teaching expertise – Breaking complex problems into manageable steps
- Personal lived experience – I’ve navigated burnout and rebuilt from scratch
- Neurodivergent-affirming practice – Strategies that honour how your brain actually works
This combination of research, professional training, and personal transformation directly informs my practice, ensuring our sessions focus on what actually creates lasting change.
How We’ll Work Together
Video Calls
Online sessions from wherever feels comfortable. Flexible format—cameras optional, chat available if speaking feels difficult.
WhatsApp Support
Between-session support when you need it. Quick check-ins, accountability, or just knowing you have a touchpoint. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Email access
Follow-up resources and written support. Processing things in writing can be easier than live conversation. Notetaker apps welcome.
What We’ll Work on Together
Burnout & Overwhelm – Reduce stress, set boundaries, build sustainable routines
Building Confidence – Challenge imposter syndrome, recognise your strengths
Creating Balance – Find what matters and align your life with your values
Life Transitions – Navigate career changes, relationships, or major decisions
Habits That Stick – Small steps that create lasting change (it takes 66 days—I’ll help you get there)
Life Coaching vs. Therapy
Both are valuable, but they serve different purposes:
Life Coaching
- Future-focused: Where do you want to go?
- Action-oriented: What steps will get you there?
- Goal-driven: Creating specific, measurable outcomes
- Strengths-based: Building on what already works
- Solution-focused: Finding practical strategies
- Accountability-centered: Supporting you to follow through
Therapy / Counselling
- Past-focused: Understanding how you got here
- Healing-oriented: Processing trauma and emotional wounds
- Diagnosis-driven: Treating mental health conditions
- Problem-focused: Exploring what’s not working
- Therapeutic relationship: Providing clinical treatment
- Long-term support: Often ongoing for years
Note: As a life coach, I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. If you’re experiencing clinical depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, or thoughts of self-harm, please seek therapeutic support. I’m happy to discuss this during a discovery call.
Session Information
Session Format
Sessions are conducted online via video call. Everything is tailored to your preferences – no pressure about eye contact, communication style, or anything else. You’re welcome to record sessions for your own use or request written summaries of key points.
Duration and Flexibility
Sessions are typically 60 minutes. We can work together as a one-off, or on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis. The structure is completely flexible and tailored to your needs
What to Expect
Your first session (free 20-minute discovery call) explores where you are now and where you want to be. If we decide to work together, sessions usually include:
- Reflection on what’s working (and what isn’t)
- Identifying patterns and blockers
- Creating actionable strategies for the week/period ahead
- Building accountability without pressure
Between sessions, you may have specific actions—nothing overwhelming. Small steps create seismic shifts when you have the right tools.
