​
As a Mental Wellness Coach, I’m here to help you move forward in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable. You are the expert on your own life. My role is to support you with tools from coaching, lifestyle medicine, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy — all held within a trauma‑informed, compassionate approach.
“Health & Wellness coaching is a Science and an Art form, not just a process. Fundamentally, Health & Wellness coaching encompasses the sciences of positive psychology, behaviour change, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle medicine with the dynamic art of relationships, teamwork and community, as well as Coaching techniques”.

We work at a pace that honours your energy, your season, and your capacity.
These areas of support align with the Wholehearted Rhythms — gentle foundations that help you reconnect with yourself and move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
Chronic illness or health challenges
If you’ve tried everything to feel better but keep hitting a wall, coaching can help you take the next step.
You already know that stress, habits, and mental wellbeing shape your physical health.
Together, we explore the mind‑body connection and build supportive rhythms that help you move toward healing with clarity and confidence. Many people come to coaching feeling disconnected from their bodies — together, we gently rebuild that trust.
Stress and Burnout
When you’re overwhelmed or running on empty, it’s hard to know where to begin. Coaching offers a space to slow down, restore balance, set boundaries, and develop strategies for long‑term resilience — without pressure or urgency.
Anxiety or Depression
(mild to moderate)
If you’re feeling stuck in worry or low mood, coaching can help you gain clarity, build coping skills, and create small, sustainable shifts that support your mental wellbeing. You’ll be supported in finding what works for you — not a one‑size‑fits‑all plan.
Life Transition Support
Life changes — career shifts, relationship changes, moving, or identity transitions — can feel disorienting. Coaching gives you a grounded space to explore possibilities, reconnect with your values, and make choices that feel aligned with who you’re becoming.
WHAT IS IT?
In mental wellness coaching, we create a supportive space for you to explore not just your habits, but also how different parts of your life influence your overall wellbeing.
We look at things like emotional health, stress management, values, mindset, and daily rhythms — going beyond the usual fitness or lifestyle areas. Together, we set meaningful goals for your mental wellbeing, and gently work through challenges as they arise.
What makes mental wellness coaching unique is that you’re not told what to do. Instead, you’re supported with information, tools, and encouragement so you can make choices that feel right for you and move forward in a way that honours your energy and your season.
Mental wellness coaching focuses on your present and future, working collaboratively to set and work toward specific goals. It’s a proactive and holistic approach that emphasises empowerment, clarity, and supportive accountability. Counselling, by contrast, often explores past experiences and emotions, and may offer a different kind of emotional support.
It’s important to note that mental wellness coaching is not a substitute for therapy or medical treatment. Instead, it can sit alongside these services by supporting personal growth, goal‑setting, and overall wellbeing. Individuals experiencing severe or complex mental health concerns may benefit from working with specialised mental health professionals such as therapists or psychologists.
TERMS EXPLAINED
Lifestyle Medicine is an approach that supports mental wellbeing through sustainable, evidence‑informed lifestyle choices. It explores how areas like sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, and daily rhythms influence how you feel.
Rather than focusing on quick fixes, lifestyle medicine encourages gentle, realistic changes that can support your overall wellbeing over time. It’s about understanding your patterns, building supportive habits, and creating a foundation that feels manageable and aligned with your life.
​
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a practical, values‑based approach that helps you notice what’s within your control and what isn’t, and gently shift your energy toward what matters most.
ACT weaves together mindfulness, acceptance, and committed action to support greater psychological flexibility — the ability to respond to life’s challenges with more openness, presence, and self‑compassion. It’s less about “fixing” and more about creating space for meaningful, values‑aligned living.
Being trauma-informed means recognising that many people carry experiences that have shaped how they think, feel, and respond to the world. It involves understanding the potential impact of trauma and integrating this awareness into every aspect of coaching.
A trauma‑informed approach prioritises emotional safety, collaboration, and empowerment. It creates a space where you feel respected, in control, and supported — never pushed or rushed. The focus is on choice, gentleness, and cultivating a sense of steadiness and trust.
