I focus on you, not just the presenting problem. Occupational stress may be localised to your relationship with work, but what shapes it, and what it affects, usually runs deeper into the wider scope of your life. I won't ask you to bend yourself to fit a fixed method. Instead, we work together to find where life can be shaped around what actually works for you.
No judgment, no shame, no evaluation. This isn't a space where you're assessed, it's a space where we work as a team.
We work toward real, tangible results, not generic prescriptions that only work short-term or sit outside your actual life. Every step forward is realistic and genuinely implementable, not just theoretically sound.
I hold a BA and Honours in Psychology, the same academic level as a registered counsellor, along with an MA in Psychological Research. That means I have a solid base of research and evidence at my fingertips. I won't sit here quoting studies at you, but if you ever want the reasoning or evidence behind a particular approach, I'm always happy to share it. I'm currently working through my credentialling with the ICF, and I've completed significant formal training in coaching as a practice.
My coaching style is open, free-flowing, and focused on your strengths and growth. We work with whatever's relevant to your goals, and if that takes a winding route, we travel it together. If your goals shift along the way, we adjust our compass accordingly. At its core, my style is about you: support, challenge, compassion, and structure, all in balance. I primarily use the GROW model, a simple coaching framework built around four stages: your Goal (what you want), your Reality (where you're at now), your Options (what's possible), and your Will (what you'll actually commit to). It gives us the structure we need, while staying flexible enough to follow wherever the exploration leads.
