Who am I ?Coach
With over 25 years of international and cross-cultural experience, I bring a well-rounded perspective to my work as an occupational psychologist, psychotherapist, leadership development/career coach and mental health practitioner for individuals and organisations. I have personally experienced and navigated work, career and life experiences/traumas and this lived experience coupled with my empathetic, yet practical approach backed by an ongoing passion for learning, solid academic, theoretic and evidence-based knowledge and expertise, allows me to offer insightful, compassionate and interactive support and create a safe space for exploration as well as a clearer way ahead for my clients.
As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals and couples to address and heal interpersonal and attachment issues and unhelpful patterns, whether in new or established romantic relationships, marriages, or other significant emotional and affective connections. My work also includes supporting clients and couples who experience intimacy challenges, whether physical or emotional, within their affective relationships (family, friends, souse, partner, work colleagues).
I offer guidance for those struggling with anxiety anchored in past or present emotional or traumatic relationships and attachment experiences, helping clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns, connect with their emotions, and develop effective emotional management strategies. My co-explorative approach supported by a wide blend of integrative therapeutic & coaching approaches (e.g attachment orientation, schema therapy, grounding/ relaxation techniques and a range of hands on , creative and reflective practices) enables clients and couples to overcome blockages, while building greater self-confidence, self-esteem, deeper fulfilling connections and emotional regulation.
In addition, I help clients build self-confidence and self-esteem, whether in their professional or personal spheres. My approach is both empathic and goal-oriented. I create a safe, supportive, and confidential space where exploration and healing can take place, all while working towards mutually agreed therapeutic goals. I tailor my therapeutic methods to each client’s needs, ensuring that the focus remains on facilitating their progress and fostering positive behavioural changes.
I also provide support during important life transitions, such as aging, separation, divorce, lifestyle changes, moving homes, loss, caring for aging parents, and other significant life events. These transitions, whether expected or unexpected, can trigger a sense of loss and may feel traumatic. I work alongside clients to help them navigate these changes with resilience and clarity.
