About Me

I am a relationship and attachment coach with more than 1,500 hours of direct coaching
experience across 300+ clients. I have worked professionally in people-centered and
emotionally supportive roles since 2013 and have been coaching individuals and couples
since 2019.

I specialise in helping people who are currently in relationships understand and change the
patterns affecting their connection. I work with couples as well as individuals whose partners
may not yet be ready to participate in the process. My work often centers on attachment,
communication, conflict, emotional regulation, family-of-origin patterns, and the deeper
dynamics underlying recurring relationship struggles.

Neurodiversity is a significant area of both my professional work and lived experience. I am
neurodivergent myself, and approximately half of the clients I work with are neurodivergent. I
understand how differences in emotional processing, communication, social interpretation,
overwhelm, and nervous-system regulation can create confusion between
partners—particularly when neurodivergence intersects with attachment patterns. I help
clients approach these differences with greater compassion and clarity rather than
automatically interpreting them as rejection, lack of care, excessive need, or personal failure.
Much of my work also involves anxious and avoidant attachment dynamics. I particularly
enjoy helping anxiously attached partners develop greater security, self-trust, and healthier
ways of communicating their needs. I am also skilled at building trust and rapport with
avoidant partners when they enter the coaching process. My approach isn't about deciding
which partner is “the problem.” It's about understanding the cycle between two people and
helping each person recognise what they can do differently.

I love working with couples navigating parenting, co-parenting, and blended-family
dynamics. My trauma-informed approach considers the influence of early experiences,
family-of-origin patterns, learned beliefs, and the roles we carry into our adult relationships.
My educational background includes undergraduate study in education and graduate study
in communication, with a specialisation in interpersonal communication. I am currently
completing ICF-accredited Level 2 coach training through Tandem Coaching Academy while
pursuing the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential.

​

One of the things I value most about coaching is the opportunity to build meaningful,
long-term relationships with my clients. My longest coaching relationship has spanned five
years, and many clients continue working with me through different seasons of their lives,
even as sessions shift from regular coaching to occasional check-ins. I value being someone
who knows a client's story, recognises their patterns and growth, and can continue walking
alongside them as their life and relationships evolve.

My role isn't to tell you whether to stay, leave, forgive, reconcile, or make a particular decision.
My goal is to help you better understand yourself, your partner, and the relationship you're
creating together so you can communicate more effectively, make grounded decisions, and
build relationships that feel healthier, safer, and more connected.
