“Why I Started Redpoint Life Coaching & Counselling – and How It Can Help You”
Life Doesn't Always Follow A Straight Path

Many of us face moments where everything feels uncertain – whether it’s a change in career, a relationship challenge, financial worries, or simply wondering, “What’s next for me?” I know this feeling all too well because I’ve been there myself.
My Journey
Over 25 years ago, during one of the most challenging periods of my life, I experienced first-hand the life-changing – and truly life-saving – benefits of counselling.
From that moment, it became a long-term goal of mine to one day become a counsellor myself, so I could offer the same support and guidance to others.
Life took me first into a successful corporate career, which gave me the financial foundation to eventually retrain. Along the way, I transitioned naturally into consultancy, life coaching, and business coaching, helping people and organisations to grow, develop resilience, and navigate change.
But my passion has always been to support people on a deeper, more personal level. That’s why I returned to study, completing advanced counselling qualifications and now working towards a BACP-accredited counselling degree. For me, learning and growing never stops – I continually strive to offer the best possible support to those who need it.
Why "Redpoint"?
In climbing, a “redpoint” is the moment you successfully complete a route you’ve prepared and trained for. I chose this name because it symbolises overcoming obstacles, building resilience, and reaching goals – not by avoiding challenges, but by navigating them with strength and support.
What I Offer
Redpoint is here for anyone facing life’s transitions – whether personal or professional. My approach is:
- Person-Centred: Every session is tailored to you, your challenges, and your aspirations.
- Practical: Together, we create actionable steps you can take straight away.
- Collaborative: You’re not alone – I’m right beside you, guiding and encouraging you as you progress.
I work with individuals who want support to:
- Manage stress and overwhelm
- Build confidence and overcome self-doubt
- Navigate career changes or retirement planning
- Find balance in life and work
- Improve relationships and communication
- Work through grief
- Understand and manage emotions and resulting behaviours
These are just some of the ways I support clients
I also support businesses through leadership coaching, team development, and culture transformation, helping leaders build stronger, more sustainable organisations.
Why I Do This Work
Knowing the transformational power of counselling and coaching, I want to give that back to as many people as possible. With NHS mental health services under immense pressure and the demand for emotional support growing, I work hard to make my private practice affordable and accessible, ensuring no one is turned away because of cost.
This was never about money for me – it’s about making a genuine difference. Helping someone find clarity, overcome emotional pain, or take back control of their life is why I do what I do every day.
