Therapy & Life Coaching for Professionals Under Pressure
An Integrated Approach That Combines Emotional Healing with Practical Change
I offer integrated support that draws on both psychotherapy and life coaching - not as separate services, but woven together in the way that serves you best.
Rather than choosing between emotional healing (therapy) or practical strategies (coaching), you get both:
depth when you need it, direction when you're ready, and the flexibility to move between them as your needs evolve.
This integrated approach is particularly effective for professionals who need both emotional support and direction - you're not just looking to understand yourself better or achieve specific goals.
You need both, woven together.
How This Works
The work naturally moves between two focuses, depending on what you need:
Therapy Focus:
When You Need Emotional Support, Deeper Exploration or Healing
​​
-
Processing stress, anxiety, burnout
-
Understanding patterns and where they come from
-
Emotional regulation and nervous system work
-
Working with difficult feelings or experiences
-
Building internal safety and self-compassion
Life Coaching Focus:
When You're Ready for Direction, Clarity or Intentional Change
-
Navigating life transitions and crossroads
-
Clarifying values and priorities
-
Setting boundaries that stick
-
Redefining success on your terms
-
Taking action toward the life you want
-
Creating work-life integration that actually works
Most clients experience both within our relationship - sometimes in the same session. The approach is led by what you need, not by rigid categories.
Common Areas I Support
Burnout, Stress & Emotional Wellbeing
This often shows up as constant mental load, emotional exhaustion or feeling unable to fully switch off. You may still be functioning well, but at a personal cost.
Together, we create space to understand what your system has been carrying and how to restore a sense of internal steadiness.
​
Confidence, Identity & Self Belief
High achievement does not always equal secure self-belief. Many clients struggle privately with self-doubt, imposter feelings or a loss of connection to who they are beneath their roles.
​
This work supports you to reconnect with your sense of self and feel more grounded in who you are, not just what you do.
​
Leadership Challenges & Emotional Wellbeing
Periods of change often bring questions about direction, values and identity.
This may include stepping into leadership, navigating career transitions or realising that an old definition of success no longer fits.
This work helps you move forward with clarity and intention, while also addressing the emotional weight that comes with leading others.

Whether we're working therapeutically on emotional healing or coaching you toward intentional change, the rate remains consistent.

Sessions take place online via secure video, making support accessible across the UK.

This integrated approach works well for professionals who:
