How do I know if coaching with you is right for me?

There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to wellbeing, and finding the right person to work with matters.

My coaching may be a good fit if you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or stuck in patterns you'd like to understand and change. Perhaps you know something needs to shift, but you're not quite sure where to start or you've tried to make changes on your own and keep finding yourself back in the same place.

Our work combines therapeutic coaching with practical tools such as breathwork, mindfulness and mindful movement, tailored to what you need. Every session is different because you are.

Not sure? That's what the 20-minute Discovery Call is for. It's a chance to talk about what you're looking for, ask any questions and get a feel for whether working together feels right for you.

There's no pressure to commit.

What exactly is Integrative Therapeutic Coaching?

Integrative Therapeutic Coaching brings together different coaching and therapeutic-informed approaches, allowing our work to be tailored to you rather than following one fixed method.

We are all different. What helps one person may not be what another person needs, which is why I draw on different approaches and tools depending on what you're experiencing and what you want to work towards.

Together, we can explore the thoughts, emotions, behaviours, beliefs and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, while also paying attention to what is happening in your body.

This might include therapeutic coaching, nervous system education, mindfulness, breathwork and mindful movement. Where appropriate, I may draw on concepts from approaches such as somatic practices, Internal Family Systems-informed ideas and Polyvagal Theory to help you develop greater self-awareness and understand your responses.

The aim isn't simply to understand why you feel the way you do. It's to turn that understanding into practical, sustainable change.

You'll have space to explore what is happening for you, while also developing tools and taking realistic steps forward.

How is this different from therapy/traditional coaching?

There can be some overlap, but they have different focuses.

Coaching generally focuses on the present and future, exploring patterns, identifying what you want to change and taking practical steps towards it.

Therapy and counselling are generally focused on supporting mental health and working with psychological distress, often providing space to explore and process what has happened.

Some people find traditional therapy gives them valuable space to explore, but they also want practical tools and support with making changes in everyday life. Others have experienced coaching that feels very focused on goals and action, without enough space to understand what's underneath them.

My approach sits between exploration and action. We look at the patterns, beliefs, emotions and behaviours that may be influencing how you feel, while also focusing on what you want to change and what you can do differently.

You don't have to choose between understanding yourself and taking action. We make space for both.

Why are movement, breath & sound part of coaching?

Because we don't experience stress, anxiety and emotion only in our minds, we experience them in our bodies too.

Talking and thinking can be incredibly valuable, but sometimes insight alone isn't enough. We can understand why we feel anxious or overwhelmed and still notice that our body remains tense, restless or on high alert.

Integrative therapeutic coaching therefore brings gentle movement, breath and, in person, sound into the process. These practices offer another way to notice what is happening within you, regulate your nervous system and develop a greater sense of safety and connection with your body.

Movement

Somatic movement helps you become more aware of physical sensations, tension and patterns of holding in the body.

When we're stressed, our bodies can become tense or activated even when we consciously know that we are safe. Movement gives you an opportunity to gently work with these sensations rather than simply thinking about them.

It can help you:

• notice where you hold tension or stress

• reconnect with physical sensations and body awareness

• gently shift patterns of tension and activation

• practise grounding and self-regulation

• develop a greater sense of choice in how you respond to stress

Rather than forcing the body to relax, somatic movement invites you to listen to it and discover what it needs.

Breath

Our breathing and nervous system are closely connected. The way we breathe can change in response to stress, and consciously changing our breathing pattern can, in turn, influence how we feel.

In coaching, we may use simple breathing practices to support grounding, calm and regulation. Different breathing techniques can be used for different purposes — some are soothing and settling, while others can help create energy, focus or alertness.

Breathwork can therefore become a practical tool that you can take beyond our sessions and use in everyday life, before a difficult conversation, during a stressful moment, when you need to ground yourself, or as part of a regular self-care practice.

Sound — in-person sessions

Sound is an additional element of my in-person offering. Through sound, vibration and attentive listening, a sound-based practice can create space to slow down, turn your attention inward and experience a deeply restful pause from the demands of everyday life.

For some people, sound can support relaxation, mindfulness and a sense of being grounded. It can also provide a different way of engaging with the body and emotions when words don't feel like the most helpful starting point.

Sound is not about having to achieve a particular state or experience. It is an invitation to listen, notice and allow yourself some space to simply be.

Bringing mind and body together

The intention behind these practices is not to replace conversation or therapeutic coaching, but to complement it.

Sometimes we need to understand something intellectually. Sometimes we need to feel it, move through it, breathe with it or simply give the body space to respond.

By bringing mind and body together, coaching can become a more embodied process, helping you develop greater awareness of your internal experience and, over time, build practical tools for navigating stress, emotions and everyday life.

The practices we explore together are always adapted to you, your needs and your comfort level. You remain in control of your experience throughout.

What happens in a session?

Each session is shaped around what you want to explore, understand or achieve from our time together.

We may talk, reflect and explore what is happening for you, while also bringing in breath, movement or other practices when they feel supportive.

There is no set formula we work together to find the approaches, tools and support that feel right for you, helping you move towards the changes you want to make.

Do I need to commit to a package?

No. You can start with a Reset Session without committing to a longer programme. If you decide you'd like continued support, you can then choose Restore or Reconnect.

Can I work with you online or in person?

Yes, you can work with me online or in person, depending on what feels right for you.

Visit my Work With Me page to explore the different ways we can work together.

• Online: Coaching, mindfulness, breathwork and movement.

• In person: All of the above, with the option to incorporatesound healing.
  

• Is coaching suitable if I'm experiencing anxiety or depression?

  Coaching can be supportive when you're experiencing everyday stress, overwhelm or life challenges, and can help you develop greater self-awareness, confidence, healthy habits and practical tools for navigating change.

  If you're experiencing anxiety or depression, we can talk about what support you need and whether coaching is appropriate for you. Where a higher level of mental health support is needed, I may recommend working alongside, or seeking support from, an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
