Life coaching and
long term condition support
Helping you to struggle less and live more
"My confidence has improved. I now have the tools to move forward with what I want in life.
Sometimes it takes talking to someone to remember who you are and what you are really worth.
Re-energising, confidence building and well worth having."
Cathy Eden
Association for Coaching accredited coach
I help people move forwards.
If you've found your way to my website, it's likely that you're feeling stuck in some way.
Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed or at a crossroads in your life?
Perhaps you want to make a change but you're finding it hard to take the first step?
Or could it be that life feels like an uphill struggle and you want to find a way to navigate through your difficulties?
​
There are lots of reasons why people look for help and I'm glad you've found your way to me.
Coaching can change your life. It can help you see the bigger picture and get clear on what you need to do. It can also help you find acceptance and self- compassion around the things you can't change and get you doing more of the the things you can.
It isn't always easy to do this on your own so as your coach, I'm here to guide and support you as we work through your challenges.
I know this because I've been there too. My personal journey into coaching began when I decided to create a more positive life for myself after struggling for decades to live well with a long-term health condition. I wasn’t living in a way that was satisfying and enjoyable and I knew I wanted things to be different. You can read more about my experiences here.
Now I have a life that's joyful and fulfilling. I feel like the 'me' I always wanted to be. I want the same for you too.
Let's talk about how we can change your life together.

Testimonials
In the world of personal development, promises of quick fixes and miracles are everywhere. My approach is rooted in reality.
Making changes requires your commitment and willingness to do things in a different way.
Don't worry if that sounds daunting. I'm here to guide you through the process with care and compassion.
If you want to see what’s possible when willingness and commitment come together, take a look at these testimonials from some of my past clients.
“I was at a point of professional change and wanted some support making the most of opportunities available.
It has been massively helpful to me to have a space to speak openly and reflect not just on the decisions I was making but why I was making them. It helped me to feel more confident in my actions and chosen path.
I will continue with launching my own business and I'll be able to continue this on my own terms with a much stronger plan than before meeting Cathy.”
"I had been through a tough time with fertility issues and was struggling. A friend suggested talking to you might help me to find a way forward.
The main take away is noticing when I’m starting to feel a certain way, and then being kind to myself, doing the things that make me focus on the things that make me happy and do them.
Not do things I don’t want to - understanding it’s ok to say no."
“The main thing that will stay with me is that just because I think something about myself or a situation or what someone thinks that doesn't mean it's true.
I will try to look at things, especially things that negatively affect me, in a different way and see there is often another perspective.
It was really nice to work with someone who was focussed on listening to what I had to say and what I wanted to achieve in a kind and compassionate way, especially as being a mother my needs don't often seem to come first!”
Types of coaching sessions
In our coaching sessions, we'll explore where you are now and how you'd like life to be in the future. We'll work together to help you find the solutions that work best for you. You can read more about the coaching services I offer (and how they can help) here.
I use a variety of coaching tools to help you move forwards including those found in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). ACT is an effective evidence-based approach that combines simple mindfulness skills along with a focus on committing to actions that will improve and enrich your life.
​
I work in-person, online and over the telephone. In-person appointments are available on Tuesdays and Saturdays at Treat on Lawson Road in Norwich, Norfolk. Sessions take place at other times over Zoom or telephone and can be organised flexibly around your existing commitments.

If you're curious about whether coaching is right for you, I warmly invite you to book a free 30-minute introductory call. We'll talk about what brings you to coaching and you can ask any questions you might have.
