Emotional & Mental Wellbeing Coaching
For when you’re not 'broken'… but you know something isn’t working.
Sometimes we know what we ‘should’ do, but still find ourselves repeating the same patterns.
You might overthink decisions, struggle with self-doubt, feel emotionally numb or overwhelmed, avoid (or perhaps even create) conflict, or find yourself stuck in a rut, in thought-cycles that no longer serve you.
These patterns aren't signs that something is wrong with you.
More often, they're signs that parts of you have learned different ways to try and keep you safe, and help you cope with life's challenges.
My coaching approach helps you understand and work with these patterns so that you can experience greater clarity, self-leadership, and emotional wellbeing.
Common challenges I help with
You'll benefit from this type of coaching if you’re experiencing:
-
Worry, anxiety, stress, overwhelm or burnout
-
Persistent self-criticism or shame
-
Difficulty feeling or regulating your emotions
-
Relationship challenges or conflict
-
Procrastination, people-pleasing or perfectionism
-
Feeling stuck or disconnected
-
Low confidence or self-worth
-
Repeating patterns in work or relationships
-
Fear of conflict
-
Imposter syndrome
-
Challenges managing difficult conversations
-
Major life transitions or identity shifts
A different approach to change
As a Certified Integrated Self Dynamics Practitioner, I draw on three powerful evidence-informed frameworks:
-
'Parts' work, aka Internal Family Systems (IFS)
-
Attachment Theory
-
Developmental Psychology
Integrated Self Dynamics (ISD) combines parts work, emotional integration, and inner leadership, to help people create lasting change at the root, rather than simply managing symptoms. The framework emphasises emotional healing, somatic integration, and self-leadership.
Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?", we explore: "What part of you is trying to help?"
This approach can help you develop greater compassion toward yourself, while creating new ways of responding to life's challenges.
How this coaching works
Our work together provides a safe and supportive space to explore your inner world, while building practical strategies for change.
I usually work with clients via Zoom, in fortnightly 1-hour sessions – so your location is no barrier.
Together we may:
-
Identify the protective patterns that keep you stuck
-
Explore attachment styles and relationship dynamics
-
Understand the origins of long-standing beliefs and behaviours
-
Build greater emotional awareness and regulation
-
Develop self-leadership and self-compassion
-
Strengthen relationships and communication
-
Create sustainable change aligned with your values
The goal is not to eliminate some of the parts of yourself, but to help develop your relationship with them, so they can mature.
My approach
I believe that every person possesses an innate capacity for growth, healing, and resilience.
Even the parts of us that create difficulty often developed for good reasons.
Through curiosity, compassion, and evidence-informed coaching, we can begin to understand these parts, integrate them, and create new possibilities for how we live and relate.
My role is not to "fix" you. My role is to help you better understand yourself so that you can lead your life with greater clarity, choice, and authenticity.
What this type of coaching is – and isn't
This coaching is a collaborative process designed to support growth, wellbeing, and personal development – but it’s not 'traditional' therapy, diagnosis, or treatment for serious mental health conditions.
If during our work together it becomes clear that therapy or additional clinical support would be beneficial, I will support you in accessing appropriate services.
