About me
I used to finding talking about myself really tough especially my strengths and achievements. Today, I can say I'm proud of who I am and would love to share a little bit about me with you.
I live with my partner in the beautiful town of Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. I have created a great work-life balance for me, I get to do a job I absolutely love whilst also having time to do many other things that bring me joy.
Very soon I will be adding my personal story of cyclical burnout, on the floor confidence and how I used many unhealthy coping strategies just to get by. Just like me, my website is a work in progress. For now I've included more about what I offer as a coach.
I've spent over two decades creating a therapeutic space where you will find safety, support, and spaciousness to expand into all of who you truly are. A space where you will feel seen, heard and understood.
My style is not about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions; it's about meeting you where you are, with kindness and understanding. I will encourage you to think outside the box and explore possibly unconventional solutions, leading to more effective problem-solving and opportunities for growth.
As a integrative coach practitioner, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Whether you're experiencing stress, anxiety, burnout, or just wanting to make some changes to your life. I'm committed to empowering you to take charge and go in the direction that feel most aligned for you right now.
I've received lots of heart warming feedback about the coaching I offer. Many clients have felt comfortable discussing sensitive issues, which has led to breakthroughs in areas they might have previously avoided. They experience increased confidence to pursue their goals, knowing they have a supportive therapeutic partner in their journey.
My core coaching values
As an integrative coach, I bring evidence-based practices and a wealth of experience in supporting women from diverse backgrounds. My mission is to create a supportive environment to all women that fosters self-acceptance, self- trust, and self-compassion. I promise that my coaching will always be:
-
Warm: I welcome you to a nurturing coaching space, where we celebrate your unique journey of personal growth and change. I'll support you to explore, learn, and grow in a way that feels best for you.
-
Inclusive: My coaching practice is open to all women, regardless of race, ethnicity, background, or orientation. Embracing inclusion and diversity is at the core of my mission.
-
Authentic: As your coach, I'm committed to showing up as my genuine self, just as I encourage you to do the same. I've lived a life of trial and error. I ditched my idea of perfection and now embrace my experimental, experiential nature.
-
Open-minded and open-hearted: I am dedicated to creating an environment where you feel safe to openly share your thoughts, feelings and challenges without fear of judgement. I am flexible and always willing to adapt my approach as needed to ensure you get what you need from working together.
