Coaching and mentoring
Focused support to help you achieve your goals
About coaching and mentoring
In addition to therapy, I offer one-to-one coaching and mentoring for clients who want to take meaningful steps towards change.
Whether you’re navigating a career shift, academic challenge or personal crossroads, coaching can provide focused support to help you define and achieve your goals.
I bring over 20 years' experience as a coach and mentor – in academic, business and therapeutic settings – helping clients move past blocks, clarify their direction and feel more confident in themselves.
How coaching and mentoring differ from therapy
Therapy, coaching and mentoring all support change, but they start from different places.
Therapy focuses on emotional difficulties such as anxiety, trauma or low mood, often rooted in past experiences.
Coaching assumes you're in a relatively stable emotional place and focuses on forward movement – identifying goals, staying motivated and creating a practical path towards success.
Mentoring is more structured and skill-focused. It involves guidance and support from someone with experience in a particular area – whether academic, personal or professional. It can be especially useful if you're tackling a specific challenge and want help developing the skills or mindset needed to succeed.
Common areas I support with coaching and mentoring
I support people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.

Coaching sessions
Sessions are held online and are tailored to you and your goals.
Together we’ll identify what you want to achieve, what might be getting in the way, and what support or strategies could help.
The process is focused, collaborative and always grounded in respect for where you are.
Session fees
£80 per 50-minute session.
Payment can be made by bank transfer, PayPal, Visa or Mastercard.
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations.
