What Is Therapy Or Counselling?
Therapy is a safe, confidential space where you can talk about your thoughts, feelings, and challenges with someone who listens without judgment. It helps you gain clarity, understand yourself better, and develop tools to navigate life’s struggles—whether that’s managing stress, improving relationships, or finding direction.
Counselling isn’t about being told what to do—it’s about working together to explore what’s holding you back and finding a way forward that feels right for you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need someone to talk to, therapy can help you move towards positive change and growth.
Who Is Coaching For?
Coaching is for anyone looking to make positive changes in their life but feeling stuck on how to move forward. It’s ideal if you want to improve focus, motivation, time management, relationships, or personal growth and need practical strategies and support to help you get there.
Unlike therapy, which explores past experiences and emotions, coaching is more goal-focused and action-oriented, helping you develop clear steps to achieve what matters most to you. Whether you’re struggling with organisation, decision-making, or confidence, coaching provides the guidance and structure to move forward with purpose.
What is The Process Like?
Starting therapy or coaching can feel like a big step, but it’s designed to be simple, supportive, and tailored to you.
1. First, we talk.
First, we’ll have an initial conversation to understand what’s bringing you here and what you’d like to change or improve. This is a chance for you to share your thoughts, ask questions, and get a feel for how we’ll work together.
2. Then we create a plan.
From there, sessions are guided by your needs. If you’re looking for therapy, we’ll focus on exploring emotions, patterns, and deeper challenges in a safe, supportive space. If you’re seeking coaching, we’ll take a more structured, goal-oriented approach to build strategies that help you move forward. Often, our work blends both—helping you gain insight while taking practical steps toward change.
3. You set the pace and the place.
I offer sessions online, in-person, or through walk-and-talk therapy, so you can choose the setting that works best for you. However we work together, the goal is to help you feel clearer, more in control, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
