Trauma-Informed Coaching
Move forward with clarity and compassion.
Sometimes, to move forward in life, we first need to understand what keeps us stuck. I help women reconnect with their own needs, values, and inner wisdom — so change feels steady, honest, and yours.
A New Chapter
Are You Ready for a New Chapter?
Have you reached a point in your life where the life you’ve built no longer feels quite right? Perhaps you’ve spent years meeting expectations, caring for others, or doing what you thought you should do, only to find yourself wondering, Is this really the life I want?
You sense that something needs to change. Perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself, held back by old patterns, or uncertain about what comes next. Yet beneath the doubts and responsibilities, there’s a quiet voice reminding you that there’s more to life — and more to you.
You feel ready to shed the skin you’ve outgrown, reconnect with who you truly are, and discover what this next chapter could look like if you were free to live life on your own terms.
If this resonates with you, I’d love to help you explore what’s possible.
Book a Discovery CallMy Journey
From Survival to Transformation
I grew up in an Irish immigrant family in London during the 1970s and 80s, a time when being Irish didn't always mean being welcomed. Addiction and eating disorders were part of my early family environment, and when my dad died just two days after my tenth birthday, I turned to familiar survival strategies to cope with my pain. Bulimia and drug abuse became ways of managing difficult emotions, while experiences of sexual abuse deepened my feelings of shame and unworthiness.
At 19, desperate for an escape and a different life, I left Britain and began a journey that would take me around the world. I met wonderful people, encountered different cultures and ways of living, and began questioning the beliefs I'd inherited and the expectations I'd absorbed. Gradually, I started discovering who I was beneath the conditioning, pain, and patterns that had shaped me.
For 30 years, I travelled in search of a place I could call home — a refuge where I could hear my authentic voice and begin transforming my painful experiences into opportunities for growth, healing, and self-discovery.
Over time, I came to understand that finding my place in the world also meant finding my place within myself.
Now, at 52, having built that refuge, dedicated myself to my own healing, and overcome self-destructive behaviours, I feel a sense of peace and a renewed freedom to shape my future. My journey has taught me that while we cannot change our past, we can change our relationship with it. We can begin to release the beliefs and behaviours that once helped us survive but no longer serve the lives we want to live.
Today, I bring that understanding and compassion to my work with other women who are ready to find their own way forward.
My Approach
Understanding Your Past, Creating Your Future
I’ve been coaching women of different ages for over five years. Early in my coaching journey, I recognised something fundamental: sometimes, to move forward in life, we first need to understand what’s keeping us stuck.
Old experiences, inherited beliefs, and deeply ingrained patterns can continue to influence our choices long after they’ve stopped serving us. We may consciously long for change while other parts of us feel afraid, uncertain, or reluctant to let go of what’s familiar.
My work is rooted in transformational life coaching, informed by my trauma training, IFS, and complementary somatic approaches. I draw on these perspectives to help you understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion, and reconnect with your own needs, values, and inner wisdom.
Rather than simply pushing yourself to change, we explore what may be holding you back, recognise the protective patterns that once served you, and identify new ways of responding to life’s challenges. The aim is to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and freedom to make choices that reflect who you are today.
My approach honours the connection between past experiences and present-day patterns while keeping your aspirations, choices, and desired future at the heart of our work.

Your Invitation
Your Next Chapter Begins With You
You don’t have to remain in a life that no longer fits simply because it’s the life you’ve always known.
You can honour your past without letting it define your future. You can begin to trust yourself, rediscover what brings you joy and meaning, and give yourself permission to want something different.
Perhaps this is your moment to stop living according to old expectations and start listening to the part of you that knows there’s another way.
You don’t need to have all the answers before you begin. You simply need a willingness to explore what’s possible.
If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and step into your next chapter, I’d love to hear from you.
Let’s start a conversation about where you are now, what you long for, and how I might support you on your journey.
