Professional & Life Support
Work and life pressures don’t stay neatly separated.
Professional responsibility, leadership, financial stress, workplace conflict, burnout, or major life changes can quietly erode wellbeing over time. Many people seeking this kind of support are highly capable, used to coping, and not accustomed to asking for help, until the weight becomes too much to carry alone.
Professional and life support offers a confidential space to step back, think clearly, and regain perspective.
People often come to this work when they are:
Feeling overwhelmed or burnt out
Navigating leadership or management pressures
Experiencing workplace conflict, bullying, or loss of confidence
Facing career transitions, redundancy, or retirement
Struggling to balance professional demands with personal or family life
Carrying responsibility without adequate support
In our work together, we focus on:
Understanding what is really driving the pressure
Identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking, stress response, or decision-making
Strengthening emotional resilience and self-trust
Finding practical, sustainable ways forward
This is not performance coaching or problem-solving in isolation. It’s reflective, supportive work that helps you feel steadier, clearer, and more grounded, both professionally and personally.
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit. Sometimes it’s enough to recognise that the way things are currently working isn’t sustainable.
My Approach
I believe counselling works best when people feel safe, emotionally and relationally.
Safety creates the conditions for honesty, reflection, and change. Without it, people remain guarded and stuck.
My approach is calm, respectful, and practical. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you notice patterns in your thinking, your relationships, and your nervous system.
Anxiety is often less about fear and more about uncertainty. When uncertainty feels unsafe, we try to regain control through overthinking and overdoing, which only reinforces the sense that something is wrong.
Healing begins when the nervous system learns it can tolerate not knowing and still be okay.
I believe people already have the capacity for change. Counselling helps remove the obstacles that get in the way.
You don’t need a crisis to begin, just a sense that something could be better.
