What Is Compassion-Focused Coaching?
My approach to coaching is rooted in psychological science, emotional intelligence, and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). I combine these foundations to help you better understand your internal obstacles, activate motivation, and build a kinder, more confident relationship with yourself.
Unlike therapy, coaching is future-focused and goal-oriented. In our sessions, we work together to gain perspective, set meaningful goals, and take intentional action, all in a supportive, compassionate space designed to help you grow and succeed.
