Frequently Asked Questions

Coaching and therapy are different, though both can be supportive. Coaching focuses on personal development, helping you explore where you are now, what you want to be, and how to move toward your goals. It’s practical, collaborative, and forward-focused, with strategies and tools you can use day-to-day.

Therapy, on the other hand, is more diagnostic and clinical, focused on understanding and treating mental health challenges. As a trauma-informed coach, I do not diagnose or provide therapy.

Coaching provides a safe, empowering space to develop personalised strategies, support regulation of your nervous system, and make meaningful progress at a pace that feels manageable. It’s about building confidence, self-understanding, and actionable tools that support your life right now and in the future.

Yes. Confidentiality is a core part of my coaching practice., and everything you share with me during our sessions is kept strictly confidential. The only exceptions to this are rare situations where I may be legally or ethically required to break confidentiality.

Creating a safe, non-judgemental space is central to how I work, so you can feel secure being open and honest throughout our coaching journey.

No. You never have to share more than you want to.

Coaching is a future focused, forward moving process. We do not need to revisit upsetting past experiences unless you want to. Our work is about supporting you in the present and helping you build the tools, insight and confidence to move forward in a way that feels right to you. 

Sessions are completely tailored to you, your story, your goals, and your pace. Together we create a supportive, non-judgemental space to reflect on your experiences, explore patterns, and develop practical tools for regulation, confidence, and everyday life.

Here are some common themes we can work on together:

-  Emotional & Nervous System Regulation

Learn how to calm overwhelm, anxiety, or shutdown using body-based tools that help you feel grounded and safe.

-  Understanding Your Neurodivergent Mind

Explore how your brain works, reduce shame, and create routines, support, and strategies that suit your unique rhythm.

-  Boundaries, Burnout & People-Pleasing

Build healthy boundaries, protect your energy, and feel more in control of your time and emotions.

-  Inner Critic, Low Confidence & Self-Sabotage

Work through negative self-talk and perfectionism, and build a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself.

- Goal Setting 

Break down big goals into doable realistic steps, stay motivated, and create systems that help you stay on track without burning out.

There’s no pressure to show up in any specific way, just bring yourself as you are. Together, we’ll move toward more clarity, calm, and confidence.

Sessions are usually 60 minutes but we can shorten or extend sessions if you would like. Some people meet with me weekly, others bi-weekly. We can create a rhythm that fits your needs and energy. 

That’s completely okay; coaching is a big step, and it’s normal to feel unsure.

This is why I offer a free discovery call: it’s a gentle, no-pressure space to explore what you need, ask questions, and get a feel for whether this kind of support feels good for you.

You don’t have to commit to anything,  just come as you are.
