About me

Hi, I’m Lorien – a certified Emotional Wellbeing Coach supporting individuals and families to feel understood and more confident in handling life’s emotional challenges.
For many years, I managed international, youth-focussed and community development projects. Those experiences reinforced my belief that people have the capacity to grow, adapt, and find their own way forward, even in difficult times.
My own children’s struggles with anxiety and teenage overwhelm led me to the Ollie Model of Transformative Coaching — a research‑backed, play‑based framework that uncovers the emotions driving behaviour. Inspired, I trained as an Ollie Coach and am now a certified Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner, Breathwork Coach and Emotional Wellbeing Coach.
Doing this work has opened my eyes to how many parents feel isolated, powerless, and unsure how to support their children and how many adults have a need for emotions coaching too. Today, it is a privilege to blend my lived understanding with a toolbox of proven techniques to help children, parents, teens, and adults gain emotional clarity, build resilient habits, and move forward with confidence.
I live near Dublin, Ireland, with my husband, two children and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I enjoy hiking, yoga, foreign travel and enthusiastically starting (but rarely finishing) 30-day fitness challenges.
