ABOUT ME

As a horse owner, rider, trainer and coach I help many riders, but this work is in no way exclusive to riding. Anyone can benefit from this kind of work, whether it is around confidence, anxiety, self-worth, recurring patterns of behaviour or just wanting to understand ourselves on a deeper level. 

 I use a range of approaches that have given me different ways of understanding how our thoughts, emotions, bodies and experiences can influence the way we behave.

My own journey has shaped the way I work. I know myself that change isn't always as simple as knowing what we 'should' do. Sometimes there are deeper patterns at play. Things we may understand intellectually but still find ourselves repeating.

This is what I focus on; creating a supportive space to explore what is really going on beneath the surface. No judgement, just helping you find a way forward that feels right for you.

I don't believe in a one size fits all approach. Every person is different, and what sits underneath anxiety, fear, low confidence or feeling stuck will be different too. I therefore draw on a range of approaches and tailor our work to you, your experiences and what you want to change.

My approach is trauma informed, compassionate and curious. Rather than trying to force change, we explore what is happening with you and create greater awareness, choice and self trust.

An important part of my work is recognising that our body can sometimes respond before our mind has had a chance to catch up. 

Rather than trying to get rid of these responses, we can become curious about them, understand what they are trying to do for us and create new possibilities.

I am a certified Somatic Parts Practitioner, certified Trauma Informed coach, certified NLP+®️ Practitioner and certified Timeline Resourcing ®️Practitioner. 

I draw on these approaches individually or together, depending on what is most appropriate for you. 

Somatic Parts work brings together awareness of the body with an understanding of our different internal parts, helping you explore emotional and protective behaviours with greater curiosity and compassion.

NLP looks at the relationship between our thoughts, language, behaviours and the way we experience the world, offering practical ways to explore and change patterns that may no longer be serving us.

It is about what you are experiencing, what you want to change, and what will help you get there.
