Why I blend Trauma-Informed Therapy, Life Coaching and EFT
In the world of personal development coaching and therapy in Brighton, people often ask: Should I work with a therapist or a coach? But what if the real magic happens when we integrate both? I choose to blend therapeutic coaching, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), and other holistic modalities to offer a deeply transformational experience—one that goes beyond traditional coaching or therapy alone.
Why Choose a Blended Approach?
Many people feel torn between therapy and coaching. Traditional therapy focuses on healing past wounds, while coaching is often future-focused, emphasising goals and action. However, human transformation is not linear—we don’t exist in neatly defined "past" or "future" states and our past directly impacts our present and our future. That’s why I offer a trauma-informed, integrative approach, bringing together the best of both worlds.
By weaving together therapy, wellness coaching, and EFT, I help you to:
✅ Process and heal emotional wounds with trauma-informed therapy 'Compassionate Inquiry’
✅ Break free from limiting beliefs and old stories
✅ Regulate your nervous system using EFT tapping and somatic techniques
✅ Take aligned action towards personal growth and confidence
✅ Integrate holistic, sustainable practices for long-lasting change
The Power of Therapeutic Coaching
Unlike traditional life coaching, therapeutic coaching acknowledges the depth of our experiences. We don’t just set goals and push forward; we also honour the subconscious patterns and emotional blocks that have impacted us and continue to shape our reality. We don’t rush, repress or gloss over our experiences but instead cherish and befriend the parts of us that so need and deserve it, even the parts which challenge us most.
This therapeutic and holistic life coaching approach ensures that transformation is sustainable, compassionate, and aligned with your true self.
With a trauma-informed lens, I guide clients through deep self-inquiry, helping them understand:
The role of conditioning and past experiences in shaping current behaviours
How to cultivate self-compassion and move beyond self-sabotage
Ways to reclaim their personal power in relationships, career, and life
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques): A Powerful Tool for Healing
One of the key modalities I incorporate is EFT tapping, a scientifically backed practice that helps regulate the nervous system and release stuck emotions. EFT works by stimulating acupressure points while addressing limiting beliefs, emotional pain, and trauma responses.
The benefits of EFT in therapeutic coaching include:
✨ Reducing anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
✨ Releasing deep-seated fears and self-doubt
✨ Enhancing confidence and emotional resilience
✨ Supporting nervous system regulation for lasting change
EFT tapping is my favourite tool in my extensive tool-kit: a simple yet profound way to integrate healing into everyday life, both working 1:1 and in the time between sessions.
How This Blended Approach Supports You
Whether you’re looking for a therapist in Brighton, personal development coaching, or trauma-informed support, my work is about meeting you where you are and guiding you toward where you want to be.
This approach is especially powerful for those who:
✔ Feel stuck in repetitive patterns and want to break free

✔ Seek inclusive therapeutic coaching that respects their lived experience
✔ Desire more than just mindset shifts—they want embodied transformation
Why This Matters: Beyond Just Talking
Many people who come to me have tried either therapy or coaching but felt something was missing. That’s because true transformation happens not just in the mind but in the body and emotions as well. By blending coaching, therapy, and EFT, I help clients move from:
➡ Awareness to deep emotional integration
➡ Stagnation to aligned action and growth
➡ Anxiety and overwhelm to confidence and clarity
This is why therapeutic coaching for mental and emotional health is so effective—it acknowledges that healing isn’t just about looking back or only pushing forward; it’s about working with the whole self.
