What is the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching is a practical, forward-facing approach focused on setting goals, taking action, and finding systems to move you towards success. It’s about creating strategies for the future. Therapy, on the other hand, is a deeper process that explores past experiences, traumas, and emotional challenges. It focuses on understanding and regulating emotions, and working through past issues to improve mental health and well-being.
What is Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy?
Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy Focuses on the mind-body connection to help heal trauma. It involves 3 key steps. 1. Stabilisation to create safety and grounding. 2. Processing to release trauma stored in the body. 3. Forward-facing where we integrate healing and develop coping strategies for the future.
What is the Polyvagal Theory?
The Polyvagal Theory explains how our nervous system responds to stress, safety, and connection. It focuses on the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in regulating emotional and physiological states. The theory highlights how we shift between states of safety, fight-or-flight, and shutdown. Most of the work we do in sessions is based on this theory, helping to regulate the nervous system and promote a sense of safety and calm.
How can the process integrate both Therapy and Coaching?
The process is not about choosing one approach over the other; it’s about integrating both therapy and coaching to meet your needs. Depending on what arises in sessions, we use coaching for practical, action-focused strategies and therapy for deeper emotional processing. This flexible approach allows us to address both immediate goals and underlying emotional challenges, creating a more comprehensive and tailored experience for you.

Where do I work with clients?
We work over Zoom or in-person. If you choose online sessions, I will share with you the Zoom link once our sessions are confirmed. If you prefer in-person sessions and our distance allows for it, you can come to my home office in Thirsk for your sessions.
How long does the Therapeutic process take?
The length of the therapeutic process varies for each individual and depends on your unique needs and goals. There is no set timeline, as it’s not a quick fix but a journey of healing and growth. Some may see progress in a few sessions, while others may take longer to work through deeper issues. The process is tailored to you, and we’ll work together to move at a pace that feels right. Remember the process can be a long-term process depending on where you are at, to truly heal we need to give ourselves the space and time to do so.
How often and long will sessions be?
Each session is 1 hour long and the frequency is your choice. You can choose from either 2 or 4 sessions per month if you would like to have weekly or fortnightly sessions. Or, you can choose pay as you go where you can book on whenever you like.
How do I book on and pay for sessions?
