Frequently Asked Questions

  • I’m a qualified and insured coach with over 15 years’ experience across social care, community work, and the creative sector. I hold Level 5 and Level 7 coaching qualifications (ILM and CMI), and I’m a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

    My training includes trauma (NARM, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Family Trauma), somatic approaches (Coaching with Physical Intelligence and BodySmart), counselling skills (TQUK Level 2), and safeguarding (DSL certified). I’ve led projects worth over £300k and designed workforce development coaching and mentoring schemes for 100+ professionals.

    I’m not a therapist, but I offer structured, reflective support for people navigating the emotional and ethical weight of their role — through coaching, supervision, and commissioned events.

  • I offer:

    • Personal coaching – confidential, trauma-informed support to help you reset, reflect, and move forward

    • Group coaching – safe, structured sessions for teams, carers, creatives, or professionals

    • Reflective supervision – relational, non-clinical supervision for those in emotionally demanding roles

    • Business coaching – strategic support for sole traders, founders, and values-led organisations

    • Project & events management – thoughtful planning and delivery for care-sector and creative initiatives

  • Somatic coaching works with your body as well as your thoughts. It helps you manage stress, feel more grounded, and respond clearly—especially when life feels heavy or demanding.

    In a session, I might ask where you feel something in your body, or use gentle tools like breathing, posture, or movement to help you reset and feel more in control.

  • No — coaching is not therapy. It’s future-focused, action-oriented, and designed to help you move forward with clarity. I work with people who are navigating complex roles, creative blocks, or emotional overwhelm.

  • You can choose:

    • In my studio at LCB Depot, Leicester

    • A walk-and-talk session in a local park

    • Somewhere neutral and quiet that recharges your batteries, e.g. a cafe

    • Online sessions are also available.

  • Yes. I offer coaching and reflective practice for charities, care organisations, and creative teams. I also run bespoke support groups and listening circles. Get in touch to discuss commissioning options.

  • Absolutely. Some people come regularly, others just when they need to reset or refocus. We start where you are.

  • Anything comfortable and casual that you can stretch and bend in. Sensible shoes are best.

  • Sessions are for all abilities - the techniques and activities can be easily adapted. Please be open about your needs so I can make sure the space and approach work for you.

  • Sessions are £50 and last around an hour. You can book weekly, fortnightly, monthly — or just when you need support. Flexible options are available for organisations and funded projects.

  • In-person sessions allow for more natural interaction and use of physical techniques, but online can offer more emotional freedom, flexibility, and safety—especially if leaving the house is difficult. Both can be effective.

  • Somatic coaching isn't counselling or 'therapy' so can work alongside counselling or therapy well. It’s best to let your therapist know, and I’m happy to liaise with them (with your permission) to make sure we’re supporting you in the best way.

  • Yes. I understand childcare and caring responsibilities and will work flexibly to meet your needs - let's chat!
