My Approach

As a Coaching Psychologist, I integrate evidence-based psychology with reflective and nature-based practices. My work is grounded in values, meaning, and sustainable change — whether you’re navigating career transitions, reconnecting with nature, or seeking to develop your coaching skills.

I walk the path with you, not ahead of you. Coaching is a partnership: together we create the space for clarity, courage, and growth. Think of me as your personal co-pilot: you're in control of the destination, but I’m here to help navigate any turbulence along the way (and provide the occasional in-flight snack metaphorically, of course).

Using a psychologically informed and evidence-based framework, I draw on research and proven principles to help you identify and overcome obstacles, fostering clarity, confidence, and maybe even a few "aha!" moments.

Whether you’re exploring a fulfilling career, advancing as a coach, or reconnecting with nature, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the journey, with a mix of insight, encouragement, and just the right dose of humour to keep things light.
