Powerful Pause Coaching
Life coaching
coaching for life’s twists and turns.
One-to-one life coaching for creative and curious souls who are ready to press pause and reshape their path.
Life rarely moves in a straight line. There are twists, turns, crossroads, and unexpected detours. At some point, we all find ourselves in the in-between—something has ended, something is shifting, or something new is calling, but the path ahead isn’t yet clear.
Maybe you're navigating a career change, moving through the hormonal and emotional transitions of midlife, facing the end of a relationship, or adjusting to an empty nest. Perhaps you’ve chosen a new direction—or life has chosen it for you—and you’re sitting in the liminal space between what was and what’s next.
This is where I come in.
By taking the time to pause, you’re giving yourself the opportunity to consciously choose, rather than react out of habit.
I’ll create a calm, grounded, and compassionate space for you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Change isn’t easy—but it can lead you somewhere beautiful.

‘Normality is a paved road: It's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.
Vincent Van Gogh
what is your coaching like and how can it help me?
Coaching provides a safe, confidential space to explore the shifts and pivots life brings. It helps you stay connected to your core values and best intentions—even when things feel uncertain or challenging.
Through coaching, you can support your mental and emotional wellbeing, confront doubts and limiting beliefs, and improve your self-care. It’s a powerful way to build resilience, regain clarity, and reconnect with your purpose and direction.
By slowing down and learning to truly listen—to our body, heart, mind, and soul—we begin to cultivate a compassionate relationship with ourselves. From this place of connection, real insight, growth, and healing can unfold.
I work with all of you—your full, complex self—not just the part that thinks, but the part that feels and knows. Together, we’ll create space for you to build self-trust, grow your confidence, and uncover the answers already within you.
What makes my coaching unique is the way it weaves together ancient and modern wisdom. From Eastern pratices such as mindfulness and yogic philosophy to some of the latest evidence-based neuroscience and highly effective contemporary coaching tools. Coaching has been proven to help develop new positive neural networks, helping you to respond more calmly to stress, to make clear choices more confidently, and to access much more of your potential creativity.
This integrative approach is designed to help you to strengthen your mental and emotional resilience; tune into your inner wisdom and values; make choices that are deeply aligned with what matters most, create lasting, meaningful change from the inside out.
This is not just about achieving goals—it’s about coming home to yourself in the process.
My clients describe my coaching as joyful, intuitive, playful, nurturing, creative, adventurous and powerful. I will listen to you deeply with my full attention, giving you space to think, to feel and to be heard. You can count on me to be honest and straightforward, asking clarifying questions and making empowering requests.
My theatrical background gives me a creative, playful and improvisational style that I use when clients feel stuck to help them see ‘outside the box’. I will not seek to dish out advice or ‘solve’ your problems but will hold a safe and welcoming space, and ask powerful questions which will help you to think, to feel and to see things more clearly for yourself.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life—here in the UK and across the world. What they all have in common is a creative, curious spirit and a deep sense that something is shifting. Like you, they’ve found themselves at a crossroads—ready for change, and seeking the support to navigate what comes next with clarity and care.
Happy clients

choose courage over comfort
There will be times when I’ll encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and choose courage over ease. Growth often requires us to face uncomfortable truths and make bold choices, even when they’re hard. It takes bravery to look at your life honestly and acknowledge when something isn’t working, but this is the first step toward real transformation. If you’ve read this far, it tells me you’re ready to change your life.
Investing in yourself—your time, energy, and resources—is a big decision. I want you to know I am 100% committed to your growth and success. I am here to help you build the life you want by unlocking the strength and incredible resources you already have within you.

I get asked this a lot! If you're committed to making changes in your life then coaching may be right for you. Coaching is focused on where you are now, what's next for you and how you want to evolve so that you can fulfil your true potential. We look at what is needed so that you can create a life which is fulfilling and aligned to who you are, and what’s most important to you right now.
Whilst we explore feelings and emotions, coaching is NOT therapy or counselling. This is an important distinction. I cover this more in the separate FAQ below.
-
Coaching tends to be more forward-focused and has an emphasis on deepening the learning and taking actionable steps. We explore where you are today and where you'd like to get to. I’ll help you remove the obstacles, move forward, set personal and professional goals and take action to create the life you desire. I am also a trauma-informed coach so I have a solid understanding of trauma and also what constitutes a traumatic reaction.
Therapy or counselling tends to focus on the past, and how those experiences or circumstances might be affecting you now. Therapy has a much stronger emphasis on healing and understanding.
If for any reason, I feel other therapeutic professional services would be more beneficial, I will discuss this with you and request you get the help you need.
-
Please contact me so we can arrange to have an initial free 30-minute chat over the phone which will help me to get an understanding of your needs and requirements. It will also give you the chance to ask me any questions you may have, and for us both to test the chemistry between us to see whether we would be a good match.
-
I will send you the relevant coaching agreement forms, along with a questionnaire for you to complete. The latter is designed to get you thinking about what you most need from our work together. We would then have an initial 'discovery' session where we will design how we will work together and how you want me to coach you, what you wish for in your life and what I am to hold for you as your vision.
-
Yes! After each session there is usually something for you to take away and work on, or put into action with the option of accountability. The real coaching happens when you start to integrate deeper awareness and insights into your life. The enquiries are an important part of this.
-
I offer three and six-month coaching packages. A three-month package costs £800. A six-month package costs £1,500. I offer the option to pay installments if you prefer to spread the cost.
-
Our sessions will take place remotely, either via phone or Zoom unless otherwise agreed. Sessions usually take place every two weeks and last one hour.
-
I appreciate how important unfiltered reviews are. I want you to be confident in your decision to work with me. Read my Google Reviews here.
