Therapeutic Coaching

Therapeutic Coaching for people who want to understand what drives them, not simply perform better.

You may have built a successful life while still carrying ways of coping that once helped you adapt: over-functioning, perfectionism, excessive responsibility, difficulty resting, fear of disappointing others, relentless self-criticism, people-pleasing or difficulty knowing what you actually need.

These patterns can be highly rewarded. They may have helped you achieve, lead, care for others, stay productive or keep going through difficult periods. Over time, the same strategies can become exhausting. Even after building a life you once hoped for, it can be difficult to fully enjoy it.

Therapeutic coaching creates space to understand the patterns beneath this, where they may have come from and how they shape how you work, relate, make decisions and respond to yourself. From there, the work becomes practical: developing different ways of living, leading and relating.

Insight first. Action second.

We begin with an in-depth psychological assessment rather than jumping immediately to goals. This helps us understand what you are experiencing, what may be driving it and what patterns are getting in the way.

From there, we translate insight into practical changes in relationships, work, boundaries, decision-making, emotional regulation and everyday life. The aim is not to optimise survival strategies that are already exhausting you. It is to understand them and develop ways of living that give you greater choice.

Psychological frameworks and evidence-based tools are selected according to your individual formulation and goals.

What is included

• A two-hour psychological assessment
• Four two-hour monthly one-to-one online coaching sessions
• Tailored between-session tasks and resources
• Optional additional sessions where appropriate

The existing programme is listed at £2,500, with optional additional sessions at £250 each. Please confirm current fees and arrangements before booking.

Therapeutic coaching is not a replacement for psychological therapy. If the assessment suggests another form of support may be more appropriate, we can discuss that together.

Who may benefit from Therapeutic Coaching?

• People who achieve a great deal but feel permanently under pressure, disconnected from themselves or unable to rest
• People noticing perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-responsibility or relentless inner criticism
• People moving through professional or personal transitions who want to understand their patterns and develop practical options
• People who have previously found therapy useful and want structured, psychologically informed follow-on support
• People looking for self-awareness, emotional regulation and values-aligned goals rather than surface-level performance advice

How the programme works

We begin with a two-hour psychological assessment, then meet for four two-hour monthly one-to-one coaching sessions online. Tailored tasks and resources can help you translate insight into everyday changes. Optional additional sessions are available where appropriate.

The complete programme is currently listed at £2,500, with additional coaching sessions at £250 each. Coaching is self-funded and is not a substitute for therapy. Please review the fees and contact me if you are unsure which approach best fits your needs.
