"Gaia can intuitively and intellectually understand relationship dynamics and guided us to almost instantly uncover deeper truths and wounds within ourselves and see how this plays out in our relationship.”

Relational coaching

I offer therapeutic coaching for couples and individuals, supporting you to find autonomy in your life, and maturity in your relationships.

I draw on Relational Life Therapy (RLT), embodiment practices, and my own experience of a long term committed partnership to support you out of stuck patterns and into relational health.

Watch a free lecture on RLT where I introduce 3 of the main frameworks:
Adaptive Child vs Wise Adult, The Neurobiology of Trauma, and The Relationship Grid.

How does it work?

Step 1: Seeing the Dynamic

RLT uses loving confrontation to show you the difficult truths about yourself - your unhealthy behaviours and patterns in a direct and compassionate way. 


We seek to swiftly get to the root of negative behaviours, understand them, and learn how to choose another route.

Unlike regular couples work, we are not impartial - we say what we see. 

​

Step 2: Trauma Work

Unique to RLT, deep trauma and inner child work is done in the presence of the partner (for couples). This allows individuals to go deeper and couples to grow closer.

We use powerful inner child visualisation techniques to befriend the young parts of you that are acting out, and empowers the adult part of you to remain in the driving seat.

 ​

Step 3: Relational Skills

RLT equips you with the powerful tools you need to continue building authentic, healthy relationships long after your time in therapeutic coaching is over - the key to creating change that lasts.

Testimonials

  • I feel very lucky we found Gaia. The relational coaching has been worth more than I can say, how can you put a price on something that helps you rediscover the love and joy you have for your partner after a really challenging period.

    Before seeing Gaia we did talking therapy for over six months, we seemed to spend hours getting even more tied up in the problems. This approach is so different, it is inherently positive and future facing. It also truly acknowledges pain and difficult emotion but through embodiment rather than overthinking. It feels like we are so much more connected, like we are breaking through problems that had felt impossible.

    Anna M

  • Working with Gaia has brought us closer together and has enabled us to be more vulnerable, kind and spacious towards one another, especially in conflict.

    We really practice listening and hearing each other, and have all round better communication. We take more time to acknowledge and appreciate each other, and seem to spend less time in conflict. We have learned more of our own and each other’s boundaries and honour and respect these. We have dropped the prison off perfection and understand greater what it takes to be in a committed relationship.

    Rachel G

  • Gaia held the space with kindness, humility and great care, drawing on her own experience & vulnerability with refreshing honesty and a lightness we both appreciated too. We were helped through a very sticky situation that without the sessions may have been too much for us to navigate.

    The sessions also used embodiment techniques which for me was another great bonus over talking therapy alone. I can only see how this work would help any couple if both come in open, & flexible enough to try different ways of relating and are always ready to keep working on themselves for their own and the good of the partnership they are in.

For people who want more confidence to pursue their passion.

Drawing on 8 years of experience delivering workshops and retreats, I combine inner child work, coaching and mentoring to overcome blocks around self-doubt and guide you towards your dream of offering your gift to the world.

Empowerment Coaching

How does it work?

Step 1: Locating the Goal

First we identify what it is you truly want. Often our minds have good ideas about what we think we should want, but it is our body and soul that contain the deeper and more fulfilling answers to this question.

I guide clients in visualisations, tuning in with bodily sensations, to access a place of your inner knowing. We always return to this point as our compass to direct the journey.

​

Step 2: Inner Child Work

Next we use inner child work and parts work to uncover what is holding you back from reaching your desires. Usually this is a young part of us that developed in childhood as a survival strategy. This part is protecting us from being rejected, shamed, or hurt. Clients learn how to love this wounded part, and how to work with the inner managers that hold us back, so that we can choose a new way of living.

​

Step 3: Commit Through Action

The final step is to set yourself tasks and actions that move you towards your goal. This is where we really commit to change. Through this process you will very likely encounter all your blocks again, and this time you'll have the inner skills required to navigate those blocks and find the agency to choose something new.
