Coming Home to Yourself

Trauma-informed coaching for navigating grief, identity shifts and emotional transitions.


Life can change you, and you are still allowed to find your way back to yourself.

How I Can Help

You may be navigating:

  • grief and loss

  • identity changes after parenthood

  • emotional overwhelm or disconnection

  • life transitions that feel difficult or unexpected

  • the feeling that life no longer looks how you imagined

  • uncertainty about who you are now

Through trauma-informed coaching, I offer space, structure and support to help you process change, reconnect with yourself, and move forward in a way that feels honest and sustainable.

What Working Together Looks Like

I do not believe people need fixing or forcing through change, my approach is calm and supportive.

Coaching with me is a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying and begin rebuilding in a way that feels comfortable and true to you.

Together, we may explore:

  • emotional patterns and internal narratives

  • identity shifts and grief

  • self-trust and emotional resilience

  • navigating uncertainty and change

  • reconnecting with the parts of yourself that feel lost or disconnected

Sessions combine reflective coaching, emotional processing, and structured tools where appropriate, always at a pace that feels supportive and manageable.

Not Sure Where To Begin?

I offer a free introductory call to help you explore whether coaching feels right for you and whether my approach is the right fit for your needs.

There is no pressure or obligation, simply a supportive space to ask questions, talk through what you are navigating, and see what kind of support may feel most helpful.

My Story

I am a trauma-informed, ICF-trained coach supporting people through grief, identity loss, and emotional transition when life no longer looks how they expected.

Before becoming a coach, I worked as a barrister. That experience shaped the way I work today, calm, grounded, and able to hold space for complexity, emotion, and change without rushing people towards quick answers or solutions.

My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I understand that grief is not always linear, and it is not always connected only to bereavement. Sometimes grief shows up in becoming a parent and losing parts of yourself along the way. Sometimes it lives in the gap between the life we imagined and the life we are actually living.

Sometimes it appears quietly, as disconnection from who we once were.

I support clients navigating:

• grief and loss
• identity shifts and emotional overwhelm
• parenthood and changing sense of self
• unexpected or emotionally difficult life transitions

Alongside my ICF coaching training, I hold Mental Health First Aid qualifications in both adult and youth mental health, and I work from a trauma-informed coaching approach that integrates structured, CBT-informed tools where appropriate.

I offer both 1:1 coaching and structured group programmes designed to support emotional rebuilding, self-understanding, and identity realignment in a way that feels sustainable and honest.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief:

Life can change you, and you are still allowed to find your way back to yourself.
