When you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns you can’t seem to break, it’s rarely because you’re lazy or unmotivated.

More often, something emotional is asking for attention.

I work with people who feel held back by internal emotional patterns—avoidance, shutdown, anxiety, self-doubt, grief, or a persistent sense of “I don’t know how to move forward.”

Together, we slow down and listen to what’s happening beneath the surface, so you can begin moving toward what you want in a way that feels authentic, grounded, and sustainable.

You Don’t Need to Push Through

If you’ve tried logic, willpower, or self-improvement strategies—and still feel stuck—it may be because your nervous system doesn’t feel safe enough to move.

That doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.
It means something in you is trying to protect you.

My approach helps you understand those protective emotional responses, work with them, and create change that doesn’t require abandoning yourself.

What We Work With

We may explore things like:

• feeling overwhelmed or emotionally flooded

• avoidance and procrastination

• anxiety and looping thoughts

• emotional shutdown or numbness

• fear of being seen or making the wrong choice

• patterns of self-sabotage

• difficulty trusting yourself

• feeling stuck between wanting change and resisting it

What Becomes Possible

This work isn’t about “fixing” you.
It’s about helping you reconnect with yourself so forward movement becomes natural again.

Over time, you may begin to experience:

• more clarity and internal steadiness

• increased emotional capacity

• less avoidance and self-judgment

• a deeper sense of trust in yourself

• more freedom to choose what you actually want

• grounded momentum without burnout

A Different Way of Moving Forward

You don’t have to fight your emotions to grow.

You can learn to work with them—so your life begins to shift in a way that feels true and authentic.

Whilst I don’t hold formal qualifications labelled “coaching,” I am experienced and qualified in the two main modalities for coaching, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused Therapy. I bring developed skills, insight, and practical techniques to help you work with what gets in your way — the internal barriers, emotional patterns, and self-sabotage that can quietly derail your aspirations.
