Therapeutic Coaching

After more than a decade working as a psychotherapist in the NHS and in private practice, I’ve learned that healing and growth come in many shapes and sizes. Some people are ready for deep therapy; others want a steadier bridge—space to reflect with the safety of a therapist and the momentum of coaching. That bridge is therapeutic coaching.

Therapeutic coaching blends an evidence‑based understanding of the mind with a practical, goal‑directed coaching style. Sessions are short, focused and measurable, so you leave with clear next steps and accountability.

Is this coaching right for you?

This approach is especially helpful if you:

  • Feel stuck but not “ill”, and prefer guidance without a long clinical commitment;
  • Want accountability and visible progress instead of open‑ended exploration;
  • Have a decision, transition or period of burnout and need clarity + momentum;
  • Want practical tools for confidence, boundaries and follow‑through.

What we’ll do in sessions

Every coaching session is a little different, because your needs set the pace and focus. Typically, sessions begin with arriving and orienting: checking what’s most present for you and anything that’s shifted since we last met. From there, we’ll agree a focus for the conversation, explore what’s helping and what’s getting in the way.

Sessions usually conclude by distilling the conversation into a few realistic next steps and how you want to track them between sessions. Many people find a weekly or fortnightly rhythm helpful, but we’ll choose the cadence that supports your momentum.

The quantity of sessions is determined purely by your objectives or speed. The number of sessions is also influenced by the difficulty of the obstacles you wish to conquer.
