About this practice
I am a qualified coach, counsellor and NLP practitioner, as well as training to diploma level in psychology. I call my approach Therapeutic Coaching and blend all of my experience and education to help people to become the best version of themselves. Being the best version of you means that you can live a life, not free of problems, but one where you can manage those problems in the most positive way possible and find solutions to help you to move forward. Sometimes when we try to set goals, embark on new things or try to maintain what we already have in our lives, we can be our own worst enemy. Not understanding your own thoughts, emotions and behaviours can lead to repeated patterns that lead you to the same outcomes over and over. I am here to help you to get to a place where you never need to do that again.
How I Work
The first couple of sessions are to ascertain what someone would like to achieve from the coaching sessions to get a clear picture of their desired outcomes. When we are looking at the relationship you have with yourself and with others, there will be experiences from your past that influence and impact on these. Gaining clarity on these enables us to work through them and start to put things into practise that will change your life and what you have lived through to date. There are exercises to follow and these are built on over the three months of the programme. Being your secure self will attract secure people into your life and if they don't fit, you will be confident and knowledgeable enough to let them go .

How to read this listing
Practitioners listed on Echo Journey are independent professionals. Before publication, practitioners submit professional details and supporting credential or licence documentation for review. Please review their profile, credentials and approach directly to decide whether they are the right fit for you.
Crisis and safety
This is an independent practitioner's professional profile, not a crisis or emergency service. Profiles are not monitored, and messages sent through a practitioner's own contact details may not be read straight away. If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm, or you are in crisis, please use one of the routes below right away rather than waiting for a reply.
- Emergency services — Call 999 in the UK, 112 across Europe, or your local emergency number.
- NHS 111 (UK) — Call 111 and select the mental health option for urgent, non-emergency help.
- Samaritans (UK and Ireland) — Call 116 123, free, at any hour of the day or night.
- Outside the UK — findahelpline.com lists crisis lines by country. Open
If you are supporting someone else and you believe they are in immediate danger, contact emergency services rather than a directory listing.

Who can connect with a practitioner?
Echo supports both independent users and practitioner-supported journeys.
A practitioner connection is available only through an invitation from a practitioner using Echo's professional workspace. This ensures every connection represents a genuine therapeutic relationship and that shared journals, reflections, and between-session support remain secure, intentional, and private.
If you have not received an invitation, you can continue using Echo independently with full access to your personal journals, reflections, and wellbeing tools.
