COACHING
There are two ways to work with me depending on what you want to focus on.
Relational
Coaching
Improve your relationships:
For couples and singles
Welcome!
I offer therapeutic coaching for couples and individuals, supporting you to find autonomy in your life, and maturity in your relationships.
I have trained in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Level 1 and 2. RLT is known to be fast acting with lasting transformation.
I believe therapy shouldn't take years -
Therapeutic coaching allows us to do deep trauma work, whilst teaching relational skills that you integrate into your life.
"The way Gaia can intuitively and intellectually understand relationship dynamics guided us to almost instantly uncover deeper truths and wounds within ourselves and see how this plays out in our relationship.
It has brought us closer together and has enabled us to be more vulnerable, kind and empathic. 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."
- Rachel Grimes
My Story
I have been receiving RLT coaching for the last 2 years, and within the first few months it completely transformed my relationship, from something unsustainable and with many unhealthy dynamics, to a relationship that feels deeply loving, fulfilling and supportive.
Of course we still have challenges, that's a normal part of relationships, but now we have the language and the tools to navigate challenges with compassion and maturity.
After 1 year it felt like we'd healed enough that we didn't need to continue with regular sessions.
I now see my coach once a month on my own, to continue my own journey of inner work.
Relational Coaching had such a profound effect on my life that I was drawn to study and offer sessions in RLT, because everyone deserves to have passionate, healthy and loving relationships.
How does it work?
Step 1: Waking Up
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 and we take sides.
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 meditative 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 their time in therapeutic coaching is over - the key to creating change that lasts.
"We've learned more about our own triggers and inner children and have been shown how to give loving compassion for those challenging or wounded parts of ourselves and each other. With regular check ins we are staying on top of our emotional needs, expressing more love and gratitude for each other, and we really feel a deepening in our relating, after each session with Gaia.
She 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."

Empowerment
Coaching
Live the life you want:
For individuals ready to level up
Do you feel like you are often hiding or holding something of yourself back, and yet you're longing to let your full self be seen?
Are you a people pleaser and want to learn how to assert yourself, set boundaries and ask for what you want?
Do you struggle with feelings of inadequacy or self doubt, and struggle to ask for what you're worth?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions I can help.
I offer empowerment coaching that combines classic coaching frameworks with embodiment practice, inner child work and rituals that uncover the root of the issue and teach you how to step more fully into your power.
I am a certified coach trained under the MOE foundation.
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 - Get to the Root of the Blocks
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.
