About me

Relationship & Trauma-informed Life Coach

If you keep ending up in the same kind of relationship - overgiving, overthinking, walking on eggshells, unhappy  or losing yourself to please others, you’re not alone and it’s not random.

There’s a pattern underneath it.

I help women in their 40s and beyond who are tired of repeating the same relationship dynamics and feeling the same feelings of failure and sadness and want to understand why so they can finally change it.

You might recognise your thinking that runs like this...

Why do I keep choosing the same type of partner and it ends up the same?
Why do I stay even when I know it’s not right?

Why can't I just say how I feel or speak up?
Why do I feel anxious, rejected or not enough in my relationships?
Why do I lose myself and then don’t know how to get me back?

These patterns often come from younger timelines and earlier experiences that programmed what you believed and learned about love, safety and your worth growing up.

They don’t just go away. They repeat.

I work differently with you as we don’t just talk about what’s happening now and who's 'fault' it is, we look at what’s driving it underneath and how YOU can take control and either improve your relationship or make better choices and become confident in who you really are. These are the areas I focus on to help you:

Attachment patterns - HOW am I with the same partners that don't work out?
Childhood experiences - What happened to me and what did I learn?
Emotional triggers and reactions - What are my triggers and why? How can I be free from these reactions?
Beliefs you carry about yourself in relationships 


And then we change it - practically, emotionally, and at a deeper level.

My work combines trauma-informed coaching, NLP, inner child work, nervous system healing and energy work. Through this coaching, you don’t just understand your patterns, you learn how to shift them.

My background

I’m a trained, credited Coach, NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer, Trauma-Informed Practitioner and Counselling-trained, with additional training in ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences), mental health and suicide awareness.

I also bring lived experience. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, depression and anxiety and someone who has navigated cancer, recovery and understands life after cancer, I understand and know how deeply the past can shape identity, relationships and self-worth. I understand what it takes to rebuild and the emotions and blocks that sabotage life success and relationships. 

What changes through this work?

You stop repeating the same relationship cycles
You feel more secure and less reactive
You set boundaries and speak up without guilt

You learn how to create a new way of living post trauma.

You heal triggers and reset your nervous system
You reconnect with who you & your identity are outside of relationships


You build healthier, more stable connections
You don’t have to keep living the same patterns on repeat.

Areas of coaching I deal with

Other areas of coaching I deal with

My specialty is female empowerment, confidence, self-esteem and change when stuck in any area of life. I help many women who have experienced trauma in their past and childhood that has impacted their self-esteem and confidence, which affects relationships both personally and professionally.

I help them to change the patterns of thoughts and behaviour through NLP and learning how to manage mind and body, work with their anxieties to manage emotions and self-coach using new tools and strategies. I help busy women who are juggling a lot and suffer from overwhelm and burnout to find new ways to manage, create self-care and help them with parenting tools if they have challenges in the family or are struggling to deal with children or teen issues.
