About.

Hi, I’m Mia. I provide empathetic, evidence-based coaching to help you feel your best.

Approach

My approach is person-focused, collaborative and compassionate. I take a holistic and evidence-based view of wellbeing, drawing on a range of tools to tailor every session to you. Depending on your goals, we might draw from:

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) to clarify your goals and strengthen motivation.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

  • CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) to build healthier sleep patterns.

  • Graded Exposure to gradually face fears and reduce their power.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, be present in the moment and move forward with your values.

There are many paths to better wellbeing, we’ll work together to find those that fit you best.

Limitations

This is a coaching not a therapeutic service. If you are struggling with your mental health, it is important that you seek advice from your GP or a mental health care professional, accredited with a reputable body. In an emergency call 999 (or your local emergency number if you are outside the UK).

My Background

I’ve delivered hundreds of hours of coaching, leadership and mentoring sessions across diverse sectors — from tech, athletics, mental health to education.

I’m passionate about the intersection of mental and physical health. I have a Master’s in Psychology (Mental Health), a Bachelor’s in Cognitive Science, a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and I’m undertaking a Doctorate in Health Psychology. I’m a strong believer in the power of community and am an avid volunteer. Physical activity is a core part of my life. I love the peace I find on long runs in nature and I have become a certified Scottish Athletics Run Leader, so I can share this love with others.

My clients come from a wide range of ethnic, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. I provide inclusive, non-judgemental LGBTQIA+ friendly coaching.
