Coaching vs Counselling: What’s the Difference?

Counselling

Counselling offers a safe space to explore emotions, experiences, and patterns that may be causing pain or confusion. It’s often focused on healing from the past and making sense of how trauma or difficult relationships might still be affecting your present.

I support people navigating:

  • Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm

  • Low self-esteem and confidence struggles

  • Recovery from childhood abuse or narcissistic relationships

  • Feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected from themselves

The work is trauma-informed, creative, and somatically grounded—meaning we tune into your body’s signals and explore your inner world in ways that feel safe and manageable.

Coaching (Trauma-Informed)

Coaching helps when you’re ready to make changes but feel unclear or held back. It’s more future-focused, yet still compassionate and sensitive to your past experiences.

As a trauma-informed coach, I understand how past experiences, especially toxic or abusive relationships, can shape present-day patterns like people-pleasing, self-doubt, or emotional shutdown. Coaching offers a supportive space to rebuild trust in yourself, strengthen boundaries, and move forward with clarity.

We work with your nervous system, not against it. Sessions blend emotional awareness with practical support, helping you:

  • Reclaim your voice and sense of agency

  • Rebuild confidence after toxic abuse or manipulation

  • Explore what safety and self-worth feel like in your body

  • Set boundaries that honour your energy and values

  • Navigate transitions with resilience and self-compassion

You don’t need to have a clear goal to begin—just a sense that something needs to shift. Coaching can help you explore what’s ready to grow, and what’s asking to be released.

Workplace Stress & Resilience

Work stress isn’t just about being busy, it’s how chronic pressure impacts your body, relationships, and sense of self. I help clients:

  • Understand how stress affects the nervous system and emotions

  • Develop grounding rituals and mindset shifts that actually stick

  • Build confidence, communicate clearly, and find their voice

  • Create boundaries that feel empowering, not isolating

Support can be offered individually or within teams.
