The Journey Of Love Life Coaching

As a grief-focused coach, Trainer and Master Practitioner in NLP and Hypnotherapy, and a Trauma-Informed Coach, I provide compassionate, practical support to help you navigate loss, and I’ve developed programmes for both adults and children and teenagers.

Where traditional counselling often looks back to help you understand your pain, my coaching is about gently moving you forward, giving you real tools to manage your emotions, process what’s happened, and rebuild a life that feels worth living again. Through personalised one-to-one and group sessions, I offer a safe, judgment-free space to express what you’re feeling, alongside practical techniques to heal your mind, body and soul. If you’d like to understand the difference more fully, I’ve written about why coaching can help in ways counselling sometimes can’t.

2015 was the year my world fell apart. It began with a miscarriage on New Year’s Day, a loss that left me utterly heartbroken. Then came my mum’s cancer diagnosis, and that October, she passed away. While I was still reeling from losing her, I found my stepfather after he’d suffered a fatal heart attack. Two of the most important people in my life, gone within weeks of each other.

Years later, in March 2020, I lost my biological father too. I share all of this not for sympathy, but because I know how isolating this kind of pain is, and I want you to know that someone who truly understands is here. If you’re grieving the loss of someone you love, you don’t have to face it alone, my bereavement support is built for exactly this. And if you’re carrying the particular ache of baby loss or miscarriage, or grieving someone who is still here but slipping away, please know those losses are just as real, and just as worthy of support.

As if the grief wasn’t enough, that same period brought the breakdown of my marriage. I left my husband and the family home, which led to a long, costly court battle and an incredibly painful divorce. The fallout was devastating: I couldn’t sustain my business, my finances collapsed, and I found myself facing bankruptcy. I felt completely and utterly broken.

If you’re somewhere in the middle of this right now, grieving a marriage, a future, and the life you thought you’d have, I understand it in my bones. The grief of divorce is real grief, and it deserves real support. It’s why I created my divorce coaching, and why I wrote about how to begin healing after divorce. You can come through this. I did.

Under the weight of all of it, I sank into depression and anxiety. I struggled to function, slept for hours to escape, and turned to unhealthy ways of coping just to numb what I was feeling. My body suffered too, the physical toll of grief was relentless. If any of that sounds familiar, please know it’s a natural response to unbearable loss, not a personal failing, and there are gentler ways to cope.

My turning point came when I finally stopped running and chose to heal. During the 2020 lockdown, after losing my father, I gave myself permission to truly feel everything I’d buried for years. I built daily practices, yoga, meditation, reflection, and trained as a Grief Recovery Method Specialist, which transformed my life. It was like cutting away a heavy ball and chain; I finally felt lighter and free. I did the deep work of forgiving myself and others, processing my pain, and reclaiming my life. Where that pain had roots in trauma, trauma recovery work was part of what set me free.

I know what it is to feel completely broken, and I know it’s possible to come back from it. Through my own healing I found self-love, self-worth and self-respect. I learned to live in the present, to stop fearing the future, and to find genuine peace and happiness again. I learned, truly, to love life again, and that’s exactly what I want for you.
