Are you a counsellor or therapist?

Short answer is no. Therapy is a healthcare profession set up to provide long-term support and healing. It generally looks to the past to understand where certain beliefs originated.

Coaching focuses on supporting you to reach your goals. It helps you uncover limiting beliefs getting in the way and releasing them.

EFT Tapping, provides a bridge between coaching and therapy. It involves tapping on acupressure points to process & release emotions.

Are coaching and tapping as effective through video calls?

Arrow down

I've discovered that for myself and many others, it is still very effective to receive coaching or tapping online. It's also wonderfully convenient and for some more comfortable since you don't have to commute anywhere or deal with a strange new environment. Just grab your computer and get comfortable.

Are you a sexologist?

I am not a sexologist. My focus area is on the psychological and emotional elements impacting your relationship. Topics of sex and intimacy may however come up in the context of relationships and that is more than welcome.
