I never set out to become a coach
My training was in person-centred therapy — a non-directive, client-led approach focused on empathy, acceptance, and trust. It taught me the power of listening, of silence, of holding space without needing to fix or direct.
And that foundation will always be at the heart of what I do.
But over the years, something started to shift.
Many of the people I work with — particularly those dealing with attention challenges, ADHD traits, or burnout — don’t just want to be heard. They’re also longing for structure. For clarity. For help moving forward.
They want insight they can act on.
At first, I struggled with that. I was trained to avoid giving direction or advice. But as I worked with more clients (and reflected on my own tendencies around focus, motivation, and discipline), I realised something important:
People don’t always need answers.
But they often need support that’s a little more active.
The Shift to Therapeutic Coaching
Over time, I began gently integrating a new way of working.
I started offering tools, frameworks, and strategies — when it felt right. I asked more intentional questions. I reframed thought patterns. I challenged stuck cycles. And I noticed that this blend of approaches created a new kind of momentum for people.
I now call it therapeutic coaching.
It combines the emotional safety and self-awareness of therapy
with the structure and momentum of coaching.
For some clients, it’s helped them find clarity in chaos.
For others, it’s given them something they hadn’t had before — a compassionate but practical way to move forward.
Who I Work With
I work especially with individuals navigating ADHD traits, motivation issues, attention struggles, and life transitions. Many of them are professionals, creatives, or people managing a lot internally while trying to stay focused on the outside.
Some are in crisis.
Some are just stuck.
But more and more, people are realising that self-awareness alone isn’t always enough — they need tools and accountability to create change.
That’s where this work lives.
What I’m Building
This isn’t about replacing therapy or abandoning my roots.
It’s about evolving toward something that feels more honest, responsive, and human.
A safe, confidential space — yes.
But also one where forward motion is possible.
If that speaks to you, or sounds like something you’ve been needing, I’d love to hear from you.
