Couples and Individuals Relationship Coach

About me

I am a Relationship Coach and Relational Life Therapy practitioner working with individuals and couples. My approach is warm, direct, and deeply relational.

I offer a therapeutic space that is compassionate, honest, and engaged.

I believe that we are all wired for connection, yet many of us learn ways of protecting ourselves that can eventually create distance, conflict, shame, or loneliness in the relationships that matter most.

 My job is to work sympathetically alongside you but also develop the trust that allows me to challenge behaviours or dynamics that are no longer serving you, while also honouring the experiences that shaped them.

Further information

I live and work from my home in the beautiful countryside of Somerset, and am equally happy to work with clients virtually or face-to-face.

Relationship work can be intense and unpredictable at times and I  feel that  flexibility in terms of sessions timing is important. I don't clock watch but will manage the time so that ends are not left trailing or cut off in mid flow.

You can expect  warmth, security, and expertise  within my space but more important  than that is that I am going to work with you side by side.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Life Coach's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Life Coach to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
