My Approach
 

 

​Where science meets the soul

 

Many approaches focus on pushing through, fixing problems or changing behaviours without addressing what's happening underneath. I partner with women to explore what life looks like for us in the now; habits, beliefs, worries, values and desires, focusing on creating a way to a sustained life that can be lead well in the real roles and season we're in. 

 

We don't aim for quick fixes or surface level positivity. We aim for deep, lasting change that supports your wellbeing rather than costing it; change that reconnects you to your bigger vision for your life and with greater clarity and hope.

​

This work is grounded in evidence-based practice and brings together science and compassion to support deep change. While it is psychologically informed, we are not diagnosing or treating mental health conditions. This work is coaching (with very valuable added extras!) rather than therapy. Instead we focus on how you're living now and how you want to move forward supported by insights from psychology, neuro-theology and positive psychology to enable deep, sustainable change.

​

Woven through all of this is my faith. I believe we are each made with purpose and that true flourishing involves the whole person; mind, body, soul and community. I bring a deep respect for the spiritual dimension of your life. Practically, this work draws on tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), strengths-based coaching, elements of neuro-theology and positive neuroplasticity.


 I offer one-to-one sessions with thought provoking creative concepts and processes designed for transformation. You can expect to experience growth in decision making, action taking, positive emotion, self-care, connection to your source of faith and the relationship you have with yourself and others.

Please write to me if you are interested in group sessions or in me coming to speak at an engagement.

The Science behind the work

My practice brings together these interconnected fields:

 

 

Positive Psychology

Pioneered by Professor Martin Seligman at the University of Pennsylvania, positive psychology is the scientific study of what allows individuals and communities to flourish. Rather than focusing on what’s wrong with us, it asks: what is right with us, and how do we build more of it? This is the lens I bring to every conversation and the subject of my MSc.

 

Meaning-Centred Practice

Viktor Frankl’s meaning-centred philosophy holds that the deepest human motivation is the search for meaning; not comfort, not success, but a life that feels purposeful. His framework underpins much of the work we’ll do around values, direction and what you’re here to contribute.

 

Trauma-Informed Practice

Drawing on Stephen Porges’ polyvagal theory and Dr Susanna Petche’s Trauma-Sense model, I work with an understanding of how difficult experiences live in the body and the nervous system. This shapes how I hold space: safely, without pressure, at a pace that allows genuine integration rather than forced change.

Coaching designed for the way women work

Trained by One of Many®,  the UK's leading women's leadership community, founded by Dr Joanna Martin, my approach is built on a conviction I share deeply: that the world needs women to step into their leadership not by working harder or becoming someone they're not, but by finding a more sustainable, authentic and joyful way of showing up. I bring this philosophy into every conversation; a genuine belief that you don't have to choose between impact and wellbeing, between leading well and living well. You were made for both.

​​​​

This work will support you if you:

​

  • Have been called to lead well but are feeling stuck in cycles of exhaustion and/or overwhelm

  • Are struggling with a loss of identity or direction

  • Are carrying too much responsibility for others

  • Are longing for a future that feels hopeful and meaningful again

  • Feel disconnected from the woman you know you were created to be

  • Want to rekindle the zeal and zest you once had for life

  • Have lost the sense of faith you used to have that life would work out

  • Are high-functioning but internally overwhelmed

  • Are in a season of change or uncertainty

  • Need a calm, clarity and reconnection 

What working together looks like:

​

  • One to one coaching sessions either online or on zoom

  • A calm, confidential and supportive space

  • Sessions shaped around your needs

  • No pressure to perform, fix or 'be positive'

  • Honest, open curiosity about the life you want to lead

  • Powerful questioning and thought-provoking creative processes 

  • Help separating the truth from stories you've got used to tolerating

  • A contained, purposeful journey

  • Usually term-time and during work hours

I also offer group sessions and speaking engagements. Please write to me if you’d like to explore either.
