Choosing the right support

Coaching orpsychotherapy?

Both can help you understand yourself and make changes. What differs is the purpose and focus of the work.

Understand the difference
At a glance PsychotherapyUnderstanding yourself.
Changing what keeps repeating.		 CoachingClarifying what matters.
Deciding what comes next.
The focus Your emotional life, relationships and recurring difficulties—including questions that may not yet have clear answers. The goals, decisions or changes you want to work towards, and what might be getting in the way.
What we explore Feelings, experiences and patterns, including how they shape your life and relationships now. Your priorities, strengths and obstacles, including the patterns influencing your choices and actions.
How we work Active conversation and reflection to make sense of what is happening and find different ways to respond and relate. Thoughtful conversation and practical steps, with space to reflect, review and adjust as you go.

There is overlap. Both can involve emotions, personal history and practical change. It isn't simply a choice between looking back and moving forward.

My approach

Warm. Curious.
Active.

My coaching work draws on my background in psychotherapy, with a focus on the goals, choices and changes you want to make.

I bring curiosity, honest questions and a practical focus to our conversations.

Not sure
where to start?

You don't need to choose before we speak. A preliminary conversation can help clarify what you need and which approach may fit.
