Coaching offers a focussed conversation in which you explore your goals, identify what is meaningful to you and illuminate your own wisdom about the world and yourself.
As an existential coach specifically, I will work with you in a philosophical way. I will always recognise that you are the expert in your own life, and my job is simply to facilitate a conversation that helps us to uncover your own knowledge, feelings, desires and solutions.

I am autistic and queer, and am particularly keen to offer an affirming space for other neurodivergent, queer or otherwise marginalised people.
I am a gamer, geek and esports fan, which is why I offer mental wellbeing for esports athletes and organisations.
I am an animal lover, so please do not feel shy about having your pet on camera if we do an online session! You might even see my dog (Cally the Australian Shepherd).
My pronouns are she/they/he - you can mix them up as you choose :)

My sense of purpose in life (or at least one of them!) is helping other people to find an affirming space in which they can freely think about their life, what is important, and where they want to go next.
I am also keen to work with organisations to provide these sorts of spaces for their people. If you're working for a charity, esports organisation, NHS trust etc, and want training in neurodiversity, LGBT+ issues, wellbeing, or you just want a safe space for your people, I might have something worth your while.
If you're looking for such a space, do have a look at my services page or make an enquiry and we can be in touch.
