Who I Work With
I work with people from all walks of life, including professionals, leaders, carers, and individuals seeking sustainable wellbeing and personal growth. My clients are often capable and committed people who want more than just “getting by.” They want to feel well, grounded, and aligned while living and working at a high level.
My work supports two closely connected pathways:
Mental Health, Wellness & Emotional Wellbeing
Wellbeing is the foundation for everything else. If you are experiencing emotional overwhelm, stress, or the weight of past experiences, I provide a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, be heard, and begin to restore balance.
Together, we focus on strengthening emotional resilience, improving self-awareness, and developing practical tools that support long-term wellbeing. I work with people experiencing:
- Depression and anxiety
- Grief and loss
- Chronic stress and burnout
- Trauma and emotional overwhelm
- Life transitions and identity challenges
This work is not just about coping. It is about healing, restoring nervous system balance, and reconnecting with self and a sense of inner steadiness and self-belief.
Performance, Leadership & Personal Growth
Sustainable performance begins with wellness. For those ready to grow, lead, and perform with greater ease and impact, I offer coaching that integrates personal wellness with high-level performance.
This work supports you to show up with clarity, confidence, and presence without sacrificing your health or values. Areas of focus include:
- Communicating with confidence, clarity, and influence
- Leading with authenticity and emotional intelligence
- Speaking with presence and impact
- Building healthy, meaningful relationships professionally and personally
- Strengthening self-awareness and emotional regulation
- Aligning performance with purpose and wellbeing
The goal is not burnout-driven success but grounded, sustainable excellence.
My Approach
My approach is human-centred, practical, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique experience. I bring together professional expertise, evidence-based counselling principles, and real-world coaching frameworks to create a space that is both supportive and purposeful.
Our work together is collaborative and compassionate, with a clear focus on meaningful, sustainable change. Whether you are seeking healing, greater clarity, renewed confidence, personal growth, or enhanced performance, I meet you where you are and work alongside you at your pace.
The aim is to help you build resilience, restore balance, and move forward with greater ease, confidence, and self-awareness so you can live, lead, and perform from a place of wellbeing, not pressure, and discover your personal edge.
