Life on yachts is intense in a way that’s hard to explain unless you’ve lived it.
Long hours, high expectations, little privacy — all while being far from home and support systems.
Mental health and emotional well-being are often overlooked in this industry, even though the lifestyle is anything but “normal”.
As a mental health and wellbeing coach with a degree in Psychology (BSc) and formal training in coaching and counselling, I support yacht crew with their mental and emotional wellbeing, informed by firsthand experience of the industry.
It is practical, psychology-informed support designed to fit the reality of life on board and to help you love your journey

Consistency matters when it comes to lasting change.
At the same time, yacht life doesn’t always allow for regular sessions — which is why support in between is key. You can reach out when something comes up, even if you’re not able to schedule a session.
It’s about ongoing support, trust, and building skills over time.

Session summary
This option works well if you’re looking for support around a specific situation, rather than focusing on building longer-term skills or habits, or if you’d like to explore working together before moving into ongoing support.
This space is about helping you
feel more grounded and steady in yourself
understand your emotional patterns, triggers, and reactions
regulate stress, overwhelm, and emotional load
regain a sense of control and choice in how you respond to work and life
feel more like yourself again — not just a role on a boat
create a balance between yacht life and the rest of your life
stay connected to partners, family, and friends while living a very different lifestyle
It’s not only about managing work stress, It’s about supporting you as a whole person, both on and off the boat.
This support is for you if
You want mental and emotional support that feels grounded and human
You value depth and real changes
You want support that fits yacht life, not “normal” life assumptions
You’re open to self-reflection and honest conversations
If this resonates, you’re likely in the right place.
A warm, non-judgmental space
Deep listening and honest reflection
Thoughtful questions to help You find clarity
Tools and practices tailored to Your needs
A space where all of You is welcome
Your story, pace, and boundaries matter. I'm not here to fix You. I’m here to provide support while You work things through in Your own way.
While coaching can support emotional well-being, it’s not a substitute for therapy. If You're experiencing clinical or severe mental health challenges (like major depression, active trauma, addiction, etc.), I recommend working with a licensed therapist.
For those navigating stress, burnout, life changes, emotional regulation, or self-exploration — this space can be deeply supportive.
