Exploring Working Together

If you’re curious about 1:1 coaching, we can start with a consultation call. There’s no obligation, it’s simply a chance for us to connect, explore what you need most, and see if we’re the right fit.

Book your free appointment

We’ll start with a 30-minute conversation to explore where you are right now, what’s been weighing on you or keeping you stuck, and the kind of support you’re looking for.

Getting to know each other

This is a two-way conversation. You’ll get a real sense of how I work and whether it feels like the right fit for you, and I’ll get a deeper understanding of what you need most.

Begin the real work

If it’s a fit, we’ll create a plan tailored to you. From there, we’ll get to work, whether that means rebuilding trust and connection in relationships, finding clarity in your next chapter, or strengthening the mindset and habits that help you thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the questions people often ask before we begin, so you can feel clear and confident about taking the next step.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Therapy and coaching both offer valuable support  but they serve different purposes. Therapy often looks more deeply at the past: healing old wounds, unpacking trauma, or addressing mental health challenges. Coaching, on the other hand, is forward-focused. It’s about where you are now, where you want to go, and the practical steps that will help you get there.

That said, the line isn’t always rigid. As a trauma-informed coach, I may explore aspects of your family history, past relationships, or conditioning if it helps make sense of what’s holding you back today. But the goal is always to use that insight to create movement to turn awareness into action.

Think of it this way: therapy often asks “Why?” — while coaching asks “What now?”
In coaching, every session is designed to leave you with clarity, tools, and concrete next steps so you feel progress you can actually use in your daily life.

And if at any point it becomes clear that therapy or more specialized support would serve you better, I’ll always say so. My role is to hold a safe, professional space that combines depth with action so you can grow, heal, and move forward in a way that feels both supportive and sustainable.

What happens in a coaching session?

A coaching session is a space designed entirely for you, a mix of insight and intention, shaped around the kind of support you need most. On our very first call, we’ll take time to get clear on your goals and map out a direction that feels both practical and achievable.

Depending on what’s most helpful, we may spend some time looking back at where certain patterns began, almost like reflective talk therapy. But the focus always shifts toward action, finding concrete steps that move you forward.

Every session is designed to close with something useful you can take away and apply right away. That might be a new perspective, a tool for handling a situation differently, or simply the relief of releasing something you’ve been holding onto.

I don’t leave sessions unfinished or hanging. We wrap up only when both of us feel the work for that day is complete. That way, you leave with clarity and direction, grounded, steady, and ready to take your next step.

How many sessions do I need and how quickly will I see change?

Every couple and individual is different, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on what you’re hoping to achieve and how much you’re ready to put into the process.

Some people notice a shift within the first few sessions (sometimes even after the very first one) simply because they finally feel heard and have a clearer way forward. For others, especially when patterns have been building for years, it can take a little longer to create the deeper changes that truly last.

I usually recommend starting with a package of sessions rather than just a one-off, because real transformation takes consistency. That said, my approach is designed so that every session gives you something tangible you can use right away, whether that’s a tool, a new perspective, or a sense of relief from finally releasing what’s been weighing on you.

The goal isn’t quick fixes that fade. It’s steady, sustainable change that builds over time, so you’re not just feeling better for a week, but actually shifting the way you relate, communicate, and connect long term.

What if my partner isn’t sure about coaching?

It’s very common for one partner to feel more ready than the other. For many men, this hesitation comes from the fact that talking about feelings isn’t something they’ve often been encouraged to do. They’re used to handling things on their own, so the idea of opening up to a stranger about their relationship (the most private part of their life) can feel uncomfortable or even impossible to imagine. On top of that, some worry that couples coaching will turn into a blame game, where everything they’ve done “wrong” gets highlighted, without seeing how this process could actually help them.

That’s why I structure the process in a way that removes that fear right from the start. I always begin with an individual session with each of you. This gives me the chance to hear your perspective privately, to understand your concerns, and to answer your questions in a safe, confidential space.

From there, you’ll see that coaching isn’t about judgment, criticism, or deciding who’s right and who’s wrong. It’s about understanding what the relationship itself needs, and helping both of you find ways forward that feel fair and workable.

Confidentiality, objectivity, and fairness are central to how I work. No one gets “ganged up on.” My role is to create a space where both partners feel equally safe, respected, heard and seen.

Often, people who were most hesitant at the start find themselves relieved once they experience what a session is actually like. They realise it’s not about exposing or shaming,  it’s about gaining the skills that help you reconnect: communicating more clearly, being more present with each other, bringing back lightness, intimacy, and joy. It’s about shifting from feeling like you’re on opposite sides to remembering what it feels like to be on the same team again.

Can couples coaching still help if we’ve been struggling for years?

Yes, absolutely. Many couples come to me after years of repeating the same arguments, feeling disconnected, or even wondering if it’s too late to turn things around. The truth is, even long-standing patterns can shift when both partners are willing to engage.

Coaching is not about quick fixes or pretending the past never happened. It’s about creating a safe, structured space where both of you can finally be heard, begin to understand the patterns that keep pulling you apart, and learn new ways to communicate and reconnect.

What surprises many couples is that once the right guidance and structure are in place, change often happens faster than expected. Small shifts in how you speak, listen, and respond to one another can quickly reduce tension and open the door to more trust, intimacy, and teamwork.

The most important factor isn’t how long you’ve been struggling, it’s your willingness to show up, try new approaches, and practice the tools between sessions. With commitment, even relationships that have felt stuck for years can find a new rhythm, a renewed sense of safety, and a path back to feeling like you’re on the same team again.

Does coaching really save relationships or do people still end up separating?

The truth is, every couple comes to coaching with different intentions. Some want to rebuild connection, others want clarity on whether to stay together, and a few come already leaning toward separation but needing support to navigate that decision in a healthy way.

My role is never to push you toward one outcome or the other. It’s to create a safe, structured space where both of you can be heard, where the patterns keeping you stuck become clear, and where you learn practical skills to communicate and reconnect in ways that weren’t possible before.

That said, when couples come in with the shared intention of repairing and moving forward together, the results can be remarkable. In fact, from all the couples I’ve worked with over the years, not one has gone on to separate after coaching. Many arrive in crisis, but leave with the tools, understanding, and renewed sense of teamwork they need to not only stay together, but to grow stronger.

So, does coaching save relationships? Very often, yes, especially when both partners are willing to show up and do the work. But more importantly, coaching gives you clarity. Whether that means repairing, recommitting, or making decisions with honesty and care, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of yourself, your partner, and what your relationship truly needs.

Are you a trauma-informed coach, and how do you know when to refer someone for therapy instead?

Yes, I’m a trauma‑informed coach, which means I understand how past experiences, especially painful or overwhelming ones, subtly shape how we show up today in relationships, emotions, and life patterns.

In practice, that means I draw on many different approaches -gentle somatic, mindfulness, solution-focused, and emotional-awareness practices- always with care and attunement to how your body and mind are responding

That said, I’m deeply intentional about how and when I use trauma language. I’m aware of how often terms like “inner child” or “attachment wounds” swirl in social media. While these frameworks can be helpful, I use them as informational tools, not repeated labels. My intentionl is never to have trauma define the person you’ve become. Instead, these methods help illuminate pathways forward so that trauma informs your growth, not keeps you stuck in place.

Importantly, I also know the boundaries of coaching. If it becomes clear that therapy or specialised clinical support would be more appropriate -say, with active trauma symptoms, PTSD, or a need for deep neurobiological processing—I’ll always bring that up gently and help connect you with the right kind of professional. Coaching is incredibly powerful for clarity, regulation, and forward movement, but it’s not a substitute for therapy when there’s a deeper healing call.

My commitment is to hold your process responsibly using these tools with respect, wisdom, and attunement. So we go as deep as is empowering and no deeper.
