Coaching


I Use NLP and Solution Focused  Coaching to Support Clients To Move Forward In Their Lives !


NLP and Solution-Focused Coaching (SFC) are powerful tools for neurodivergent women to overcome relational challenges and build self-esteem.


NLP explores the connection between your thoughts, language, and behaviours, helping you understand and change how you think and communicate with yourself.


SFC focuses on creating positive, practical steps toward your goals. It helps you focus on solutions, rather than problems, and encourages you to identify strengths and resources you already have to move forward.

  • Self-Compassion: Practice kindness toward yourself, easing guilt and self-criticism.
  • Breaking Negative Thought Cycles: Focus on the present instead of dwelling on the past.
  • Reducing Anxiety and Stress: Breathing exercises and meditation calm your nervous system.
  • Improving Emotional Awareness: Process emotions thoughtfully, reducing overwhelm.
  • Better Communication: Foster calm, respectful interactions, especially in challenging relationships.
  • Fostering Acceptance: Move forward with strength by accepting what’s happened.
  • Rebuilding Your Identity: Reconnect with your self-worth and feel grounded.

Mindfulness techniques are integrated into my approach to help you stay calm, present, and emotionally balanced.
