executive coaching
In today’s fast-paced and unpredictable world, leaders are carrying heavier burdens than ever. Global health crises, economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and rapid technological change have created a constant backdrop of pressure. On top of this, leaders are expected to drive performance, inspire teams, manage organisational change, and safeguard employee well-being—all at the same time. Balancing these demands often leaves them stretched, stressed, and exhausted. Many feel the weight of responsibility for not just the success of their organisations, but the well-being of the people who depend on them, and it is no wonder that weariness is widespread among those in leadership.
To help leaders navigate these pressures, I offer Integrated Executive Coaching—a beneficial and emerging blend of therapy and coaching that supports them in overcoming internal obstacles and empowers them to thrive both professionally and personally
More On Integrated Coaching
Different people define integrated coaching in different ways. I define it as “a blended approach that combines the forward focused, goal-oriented and outcomes-driven aspects of coaching with the restorative, insight building elements of psychotherapy”. This integrated method addresses both personal and professional challenges, empowering individuals to achieve their goals while fostering emotional well-being and personal growth.
Our coaching journey is a collaborative partnership, where your needs and aspirations take centre stage. The blended coach-therapy process helps you to identify things in your work and your life that are bothersome to you, or that you want to achieve, addressing any blocks that may be holding you back. These barriers can include stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, overthinking, past trauma, or self-limiting beliefs blocking high performance. My integrated-coaching approach is warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic as well as dynamic, challenging and transformative. It also challenges clients to create change by increasing their self-awareness and accessing their inner resourcefulness to overcome personal blocks, increase mastery and confidence, gain clarity and create sustainable change.
By integrating aspects of psychotherapy and coaching theory, I’m able to deliver sessions that are concise yet facilitate deeper exploration. It is ideal for those who neither need nor desire therapy, but require a little more depth in achieving their goals.

- Been struggling quietly or openly with chronic/acute stress, feelings of overwhelm or burnout
- Have eroded resilience
- Noticed a lack of clarity
