Coaching

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of coaching do you offer?

I offer somatic coaching, embodied, psychologically grounded work for people who've been living from the neck up and are ready to reconnect with the wisdom of their whole system.

This isn't traditional talk therapy, and it's not life coaching with strategies and action plans. It's depth work that recognises feelings live in the body, not just in our thoughts. Most of us were conditioned out of our capacity to feel, to override our body's signals, push through, stay in our heads. This work is about learning to feel again. To trust your body's intelligence as guidance. To let sensation, breath and embodied awareness lead you back to what's actually true.

The work is relational, reflective and psychotherapeutically informed, drawing on somatic practices, integral coaching, psychodynamic thinking and fifteen years of walking alongside people through transitions, burnout and the question of how to live more truthfully.

Who do you typically work with?

I work primarily with women who've spent years in spaces where they never quite fit, often male-dominated corporate environments, leadership roles or businesses they built hoping things would be different.

You might be a solopreneur now, or contemplating the leap. You might still be in conventional business, wondering how much longer you can sustain this. Either way, you're carrying the weight of not belonging, of patterns you can't think your way out of, of achieving things that somehow didn't bring the freedom or fulfilment you imagined.

What matters most isn't your role or title. It's your willingness to slow down, to feel, to meet yourself with honesty and to work with what's actually happening in your body rather than what you think should be happening in your life.

What issues can coaching help with?

People come to this work when thinking alone hasn't been enough.

You might be experiencing burnout, not the kind that a holiday fixes, but the deep exhaustion of living out of alignment with yourself. You might be navigating transition, trying to make decisions when every option feels heavy. You might have built a business that was supposed to change everything, but the patterns followed you. A partnership that didn't work out. A marriage that ended. The persistent sense that you're still trying to prove something, be someone, fit in somewhere.

This work supports you when you're tired of performing and accommodating. When you want to speak up and stand your ground but something in your system collapses before you do. When you sense there's another way to live but can't quite see it yet.

Coaching helps you reconnect with your body's intelligence, understand the patterns held in your nervous system and gradually inhabit yourself with more presence, truth and capacity to meet life as it actually is. People describe feeling more alive, more in flow, more courageous, more expansive and spacious. They learn to be guided by their feelings rather than override them.

What approaches inform your work?

My work is somatically grounded and psychotherapeutically informed. I'm trained in integral coaching, somatic coaching, psychotherapeutic counselling and meditation teaching.

But this isn't about techniques or models. It's integrative work shaped by you, by the relationship between us and by what wants to emerge. We work with sensation, breath, movement and the stories held in your tissue and nervous system. We track what's happening in your body, the tightness before you people-please, the collapse before you speak up, the difference between anxiety and aliveness.

The work draws on psychodynamic and developmental thinking, embodied awareness and existential inquiry. It's relational and reflective, honouring both the sacred, your body's innate wisdom, and the subversive, dismantling the conditioning that taught you to override it.

Are sessions available online?

Yes. All regular coaching sessions are offered online via video call, making the work accessible across the UK and internationally.

I also offer day-long walking sessions where we step out of your usual environment entirely, letting movement and nature support the conversation. These intensive sessions create spaciousness for insights that can't emerge in an office or on a screen.

How long is each session?

Regular online sessions are typically 50 minutes to one hour. Day-long walking sessions are full-day immersions, allowing for deeper exploration and integration.

What does working together look like?

I offer two main formats:

Six or twelve-month coaching packages where we meet regularly online. This is sustained, foundational work that unfolds over time, giving you the container to unlearn old patterns, build new capacity and integrate what's emerging. Deep transformation doesn't happen overnight. This timeline allows for real, embodied change.

Day-long walking sessions that combine somatic work with the rhythm of walking in nature. These are powerful for people who need to step entirely out of their usual context, or who want an intensive experience before or alongside longer-term work.

Both formats are somatically grounded. We're working with your whole system, not just your thinking mind.
