looking forward to working with you
What is life coaching with a coaching psychologist?
It’s a collaborative, ‘you and me’ process rooted in psychological practice — fun, empowering and genuinely accessible, and trauma-informed and healing-centred throughout. Together, we identify your goals/aims and strengths, work through whatever’s in the way and build clear, practical steps toward the change you want.
How is life coaching different from therapy?
Coaching focuses on the present and future — it’s action-oriented – and while we’ll always acknowledge the past, we don’t dive deeply into it the way therapy does. Therapy is about healing emotional pain; coaching psychology is about forward movement, change and wellbeing.
What kind of aspects/problems/goals can you help with?
Genuinely, almost anything you’re stuck or struggling with. As a coaching psychologist, I don’t need to be an expert in your specific field or problem area — I tune into how you think and what makes you tick. Clients have worked with me on career transitions, resilience, emotional intelligence, self-confidence, work-life balance, health and wellness, relationships, conflict, time management and navigating major life change.
How do I know if life coaching is right for me?
If you’re feeling stuck, lacking motivation or unsure of your direction but ready to take responsibility for making a change, coaching is likely to be your valuable next step.
What should I expect during a session?
Thought-provoking questions to help you clarify what you want, spot limiting beliefs and pinpoint what’s next. I’ll often bring psychology-based tools or exercises, and we’ll always leave with clear, practical and manageable steps.
How long does coaching take?
It depends on your goals. Some clients work with me for a few months on a specific issue; others continue for a year or more of ongoing support. Most see lasting progress within 3 to 6 months.
How often should I meet with you?
Most clients meet weekly or fortnightly, for 60-minute sessions, online (anywhere) or face to face at my Kent office. I work Mondays 9–3, and Thursdays and Fridays 9–3.
Can you help me if I don’t know what I want?
Yes — many clients start here. We’ll explore your values, strengths and passions until clarity starts to emerge, and build your direction from there.
What qualifications should I look for in a coaching psychologist?
Chartered status as a coaching psychologist comes only through the British Psychological Society, so look for that, alongside membership of a recognised body like the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I hold both. Beyond the credentials, choose someone whose style and personality genuinely fit you.
How is success measured?
Against the goals/aims you set. We’ll define measurable outcomes together and track progress over time, whether that’s a specific goal, a life change, or simply feeling more confident and fulfilled.
Is coaching confidential?
Yes. Everything discussed stays private, within the usual limits around safeguarding and legal requirements.
Can coaching psychology really help me achieve my goals?
Yes, if you’re committed to the process. I provide the accountability, tools and guidance; the willingness to act is yours.
What is the difference between personal and professional coaching?
Personal coaching focuses on individual growth, relationships and wellbeing; professional coaching leans toward leadership, career transitions, conflict issues and work-life balance. I work across both, because home and work are rarely as separate as we’d like.
How do I choose the right coach?
Look at experience, style and areas of expertise, and trust and rapport most of all. I offer a free initial consultation call so we can both find out if I’m the right fit.
What does it cost to work with you?
Individual sessions start at £120, with a 6-session package available at a reduced rate. Wellbeing training and Pathways programmes are priced by scope — see each service page for details, or get in touch for a tailored quote.
