Transform your life | online psychological life coachinG

Not everyone who seeks support sees themselves as having a mental health difficulty. Many people simply want to understand themselves better, make changes, and reach their potential. Psychological coaching offers a safe and professional space to do just that — combining the insight of therapy with the direction of coaching.

Led by a Chartered and Registered Private Psychologist, this approach helps you explore the roots of patterns such as self-doubt, imposter feelings, perfectionism or difficulty setting boundaries — while also building the confidence, clarity and practical strategies to move forward.

Psychological coaching can help you overcome long-standing blocks, strengthen self-awareness and create meaningful, lasting change — both personally and professionally.

Psychological coaching draws on the insight and depth of therapy while focusing on personal development, growth and change rather than diagnosis or treatment. It provides a safe, reflective space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface; the beliefs, patterns and emotions that shape how you think, feel and act.

Unlike general life coaching, psychological coaching is grounded in evidence-based psychology and delivered by a qualified psychologist. This means you’ll be supported to understand why certain patterns exist before learning how to change them — allowing insight and action to work together.

Whether you’re seeking confidence coaching, executive coaching, or support with relationships, burnout, ADHD, or boundaries, this approach integrates therapeutic depth with practical strategies for lasting change. 

Psychological coaching can help you:

• Build deeper self-awareness and confidence 
• Break unhelpful patterns in relationships or work 
• Manage stress, pressure or life transitions 
• Develop healthier boundaries and communication 
• Clarify values and move towards a more authentic, fulfilling life 

While therapy often focuses on treating mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety or trauma, psychological coaching is about potential, growth and change.

It draws on the same depth of understanding as therapy — exploring how your childhood experiences, personality patterns and relationship dynamics shape you today — but the focus is on using that insight to make meaningful, lasting change.

Psychological coaching helps you recognise and work through the internal blocks that hold you back — such as perfectionism, self-criticism or fear of failure — and develop the confidence and clarity to move towards the future you want.

Rather than focusing on what’s wrong, it’s about understanding what’s happening — and working with those patterns so they no longer stand in your way.

My work as a psychologist and coach bridges the depth of therapy with the focus of coaching. With over 20 years’ experience, I help clients understand the origins of the patterns that hold them back — for example, how early experiences of criticism or neglect may still drive perfectionism, imposter feelings or people-pleasing at work today.

Psychological coaching offers a space to go beyond surface goals. Together we look at what’s happening underneath — the beliefs, emotions and protective strategies that have shaped you — and how they continue to influence your confidence, relationships and performance. By combining therapeutic depth with a coaching framework, we work on both insight and action: understanding where patterns come from while developing the tools to change them.

I draw on Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to explore underlying themes with care and curiosity, integrating these with coaching methods that support clarity, motivation and practical change.

This means sessions are compassionate, evidence-based and transformational — helping you understand yourself more deeply and move towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. 

 Psychological coaching may be helpful if you’re:

• Facing challenges at work, in relationships or during a life transition 
• Wanting to change long-standing patterns that hold you back 
• Experiencing self-doubt, imposter feelings or perfectionism 
• Seeking a supportive yet challenging space for personal or professional growth 
• Looking for the insight of a psychologist without needing therapy or diagnosis 
• Ready to understand yourself more deeply and make lasting, meaningful change
