About Me
My work in therapeutic wellbeing support is shaped by both lived experience and academic study, with a focus on offering practical, compassionate support that genuinely fits real lives.
​
I trained in medical anthropology and psychology, specialising in cross-cultural psychology and resilience in the face of adversity. My research explored how interpretation and meaning-making influence psychological impact, including how spiritual and contemplative traditions — particularly Zen Buddhist perspectives — can support calm, acceptance, and psychological flexibility in the face of adversity.
​
My core approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-informed, which can be particularly helpful for ADHD, emotional regulation, and overwhelm. ACT supports clients to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, reduce unhelpful struggle, and move toward what matters — even when focus, motivation, or consistency feel challenging.
​
Alongside this, I also offer optional clinical hypnotherapy for those who wish to explore deeper layers of change. This may include approaches such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), used selectively and collaboratively where appropriate.
​
Through Coco Belle Therapies, I offer neurodiversity-affirming, practical support focused on building regulation, clarity, and self-trust — supporting a steady sense of “It’s okay, I’ve got this.”
