I also have an App, Reality Checked. It has ten courses to change perceptions, uncover powerful hidden truths, and transform your life and relationships. The App is packed with multimedia content designed to capture your imagination to absorb learning at a profound level – emotionally, experientially, and cognitively.

I’m happy to consider applications and referrals from UK Health Insurance policies and will register with companies of your choice if required (and eligible). However, applications are lengthy – so I may charge a fee (equivalent to my hourly rate) for this service.
Please get in touch with me at therapy@samanthacoleman.online to discuss
Yes, of course. If you need a letter or written evidence (mental health assessment) for third parties, please get in touch in plenty of time, allowing a minimum of 5 working days. I charge my usual hourly rate for extra work between sessions (minimum fee £20).
You’re welcome to cancel or rearrange your appointment up to 24 hours before we’re due to meet. Once registered as a client – you’ll receive a log-in to manage your appointments online.
I send reminders and appointment notifications by text and email. Unless pre-agreed or in exceptional circumstances, the cancellation policy is 24 hours.
If you’re unwell, have an emergency (or are just not in the right mood!) and need to cancel for any reason, please let me know as soon as possible.
You can reserve an appointment up to one year in advance by paying in full or with a 50% deposit. The remaining balance is due 24 hours before our session, and you’ll receive an email with your invoice and easy payment details.

You don’t need a GP referral to book an appointment with me. I offer private therapy and coaching sessions.
Yes, but my professional body won’t cover our work; my usual professional insurance and assurances are invalid – null and void – and you accept and agree to sessions under these terms and conditions.
Although you’ll receive the same standard of treatment and care as my UK-based clients, if you live outside the UK, our work together is not legally covered, and you cannot make any claims against my services or pursue professional legal action against me.
Your civil rights are unaffected.
I don’t offer discounted therapy rates, but my services are flexible to suit all budgets.
You can book individual sessions or multiple session blocks and pay in instalments. Discounts are available for block purchases.
I also offer free* 20-minute introductory sessions to get an idea of how I work and to ask any questions before committing to a series of sessions.
The Reality Checked App is an excellent choice if you’re on a tight budget.
*£10 non-refundable fee applies – refunded against your first full-price session.
I use the Relational and integrative approaches, drawing on many techniques I’ve learned over the years tailored to suit your personal needs – from the most direct and methodical to the abstract and imaginative visualisations and other creative exercises! It’s your therapy and entirely your choice and experience.
We can switch to Coaching or the App toward the end of therapy if that feels right. It’s an excellent way to transition and implement everything you’ve learned into the real world, your daily life and relationships.
During our initial Introductory Session, we’ll discuss your current situation and the issues you’d like to tackle. We’ll then work together to identify what you’d like from therapy and create an individualised plan of action based on your needs.
Throughout the sessions, I provide compassionate support, transparency, wisdom, reflections, new perspectives, and a human connection that’s real enough to bring our sessions alive, human, and profoundly engaging – sometimes fun! There’s no point in going through the motions if you’re not really feeling it! ;)
We’ll review your progress regularly to ensure the therapy is still meeting your needs and change direction if necessary or plan when (and how) to end when the time’s right! It’s a cooperative process – and we’ll muddle (and find) our way through together!
Please email me at therapy@samanthacoleman.online
If urgent, text me on 07368389205
I offer one-off sessions as needed or through the Personalised six or ten-week Coaching Plans.
Choose from 4 types of Coaching:
My approach is centred around the Reality Checked App – available to all private Coaching clients at a 50% discount for all plans and subscription services*.
*See T & Cs.
We’ll begin by discussing your current situation, the issues you’d like to tackle, and your intentions for your life, relationships, or challenges with neurodivergence, as appropriate.
We’ll consider what you hope to gain, improve, or let go of. If you need clarification on what you need or which direction to go – I’ll help you figure it out!
From there, I’ll create an individualised action plan for you – and select the most appropriate and beneficial content from the Reality Checked App. The fun begins once you’ve downloaded the App and received your personalised Plan!
You can book coaching sessions directly from your App or my website, with your choice of appointment (twice-weekly, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly) for any duration from 20-120 minutes.
Together, we’ll look at your challenges from every angle, explore alternative perspectives and solutions, and uncover your untapped and hidden strengths, skills, and knowledge.
Throughout our work together, I’m on hand to provide guidance, wisdom, and practical tools to educate, support, lighten your mind and strengthen your resolve every step of the way!
The App is like having an entire suite of invaluable life-enhancing knowledge at your fingertips – like having a digital version of me in the palm of your hand!
Therapy tends to be more explorative and focuses on enhancing self-awareness and understanding of hurtful past events or relationships. Coaching focuses more on training your mind, body, and spirit to adopt new habits, perspectives, attitudes, and skills to transform your quality of life and relationships.
Coaching focuses on helping you gain clarity around your current needs, goals, and intentions and identifies the barriers standing in your way. Coaching is also an excellent way to end therapy and apply everything you’ve learned to your daily life, well-being, and relationships.
Therapy focuses on coping with poor mental health, significant adversity, or harmful past events or relationships to make sense of how they impact you and rebuild your life, self-esteem, and inner peace.
My Coaching Sessions and plans utilise the Reality Checked App. You’ll have access to invaluable information, activities, exercises, and resources to help record, develop and enhance everything you learn.
The App lets you record your journey, monitor your progress, and contact me (or other Reality Checked App members). Reality Checked behaves like a 24/7 digital coach and is excellent whenever you need a pep talk, soundboard, or encouragement!
It anchors your work, helps you stay on track, and thoroughly absorbs everything we put in place. It helps keep you motivated, inspired, and engaged every day!
Your Plan lets us focus on the areas that need the most attention, ensuring you see actual, tangible results in the shortest possible time – and in the most profound and long-lasting ways!
How long it takes depends on your intentions and your challenges. Results can happen quickly if you put in the work, make the most of the resources, and follow your Plan.
I monitor your progress regularly, discussing obstacles and providing support to help keep you in the zone.
The App is also an excellent tool for keeping you in the best mindset – and always available with ongoing support long after your coaching sessions have ended!
It feels great! Having a coach feels like having your personal cheerleader and “second brain” to help figure out the most insurmountable or inescapable negative cycles and challenges in your life and relationships.
Coaching helps break down your limiting beliefs, unravel and resolve inner conflict, and learn how to master your needs, emotions and relationships.
It’s also incredibly empowering – it helps you recognise your internal capabilities. Not only do I help you identify and overcome any barriers, but you’ll discover hidden inner knowledge and resources and learn how to express and nurture yourself.
By discovering what’s working in your favour and what’s not (or who!) – you can develop a more positive relationship with yourself – enabling you to create the life you want.
Working with a coach helps you to discover hidden strengths and talents – and use this newfound ability to advocate for yourself and “master your mind” to become your best self and live your best life!
Yes, I’m a BACP (British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists) Professional Accredited Therapist and have spent five years researching and developing my unique and original App & Coaching Plans.
I have over a decade of experience working with relationship and attachment issues, trauma, personality disorders, neurodivergence, and general mental health and well-being.
Aside from my professional expertise, I also have a deep personal understanding of living with the specific challenges posed by ASD/PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) and ADHD as I’m diagnosed myself (having found out later in life).
My qualifications include – Advanced Diplomas in Counselling, Philosophy, Psychotherapy and hypnotherapy; Professional Certificates in Couples Therapy, Life Coaching, Trauma Therapy, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Attachment Theory, The Rewind Trauma Technique, Operating A Weight Management Consultancy, Online Mental Health Counselling. I have extensive experience, skill, and training working with Neurodivergence.
I provide everything you’ll need to get started, including a welcome pack with all the information and resources you need to ensure that your Coaching Session or Plan is as effective (and fun!) as possible.
If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or losing your way at any point during our coaching sessions, that’s what I’m here for!
Please let me know about your struggles – we can take a step back and reassess what’s happening. Remember that it’s normal to have ups and downs – progress is non-linear, and sometimes things go differently than expected.
Stumbling blocks are the best learning opportunities – if you know you to confront them and ask the right questions!
I’m here to provide mentorship, motivation, inspiration, wisdom, guidance, structure, support, encouragement and accountability – so you can lean on someone else – for a change!
That depends on the transformations you’d like to create – some require more regular check-ins and may take longer to manifest into reality!
We’ll discuss this during your Introductory Session and determine the best way forward within your desired timescales!
We’ll review your progress as your session(s) end and ensure you feel confident and ready to continue independently, implementing all the wisdom and skills you’ve gained.
The Reality Checked App also keeps a record of your journey and gives you tools, techniques, and strategies to keep once Coaching comes to an end.
I’m available for additional support – should you require it, we can easily keep in touch directly via the App through your Members Portal.
You’re welcome to dip in and out of Coaching as needed!
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or lacking in motivation – or if you want to make a change and take control of your life and can’t seem to manage it or find your way – despite knowing how and what you’re supposed to do – then Coaching could be the perfect solution for you!
I offer free* 20-minute Introductory Sessions to understand better what kind of support you require. Don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss this further and ask any questions. I’ll happily provide honest, open feedback so you can make the best decision.
*£10 non-refundable fee applies – refunded against your first full-price session.
Extra FAQs – Specialised Plans –
ASD Coaching
ASD stands for Autism Spectrum Disorder, a broad term covering a range of neurodevelopmental conditions that affect how someone interacts with their environment and processes sensory information.
There are many different ways to be on the spectrum – meaning it manifests differently from person to person.
The extent to which ASD creates challenges in your life will depend on how well you’ve learned to “mask” or conform and pretend to be conventional and how well society happens to accommodate or accept your unique differences.
Although ASD is typically referred to as a “disorder,” I believe the fault or the disorder lies within society and its inability to treat everyone equally -with understanding, dignity, and respect – rather than something deficient in individuals themselves.
Society pathologises people who don’t fit in or conform to convention and struggle to thrive or respond in a “normal” way to the expectations and standards placed on them.
Although those living with ASD suffer tremendously and face considerable challenges in life – it’s not because there’s anything wrong with us! Society is inherently flawed, not you!
It’s not us that’s broken, inadequate, deficient, or disordered and needs fixing – but the world!
My ASD Coaching Plan aims to support becoming unapologetically yourself and learning how to break the cycles of conditioning that have led you to compromise, hide, and deny yourself to make everyone else feel better!
It helps you to rediscover a sense of love and belonging in the world!
It offers a unique and original approach to navigating a world without understanding or accepting you and finding a place of self-acceptance and pride for being different.
We’ll work together on strategies to help make life easier, communication more effective and powerful ways to create change.
The ASD Coaching Plan provides a unique approach to understanding and managing your individual needs and challenges – delivered in a way that works for you!
My Coaching helps you learn how to gain control over your life, create strategies to manage day-to-day living, build self-esteem, confidence and resilience, and develop essential problem-solving skills.
It also focuses on understanding your needs so that you can learn how to communicate them and advocate for yourself more effectively, identify triggers and develop coping strategies – all to help you become your most authentic self!
You’ll have access to invaluable resources and strategies through the Reality Checked App, with one-to-one sessions as needed.
My Coaching is different because I can relate to you on a personal level – as someone who lives with ASD.
I understand the unique challenges of living with ASD and the obstacles we face trying to fit into a world that doesn’t always accept or understand us. My approach is not to treat neurodivergence as a disorder or use labels that imply something is wrong with you.
My coaching plan provides the understanding and support so often lacking in society. It will help you break the negative cycles and lifelong conditioning that lead to feeling like you’re not good enough.
I’m committed to helping you find strategies to navigate the world successfully without compromising your values or identity.
I’m passionate about helping you find the tools and strategies needed to make life easier so you can stop feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and unheard – and instead feel supported, accepted and empowered.
I plan our sessions to meet your individual needs at that moment in time. We’ll start by discussing your current challenges, feelings, and what’s been going on in your life and relationships.
From there, we can decide which strategies from the ASD Coaching Plan and specialised courses on the Reality Checked App will be most beneficial for you and work through these together.
We may also discuss topics such as understanding triggers and anxiety – how to stay in control and manage your emotions, as well as strategies for communication and self-advocacy.
I’m here to listen, provide understanding, and offer strategies – but ultimately, the focus is on you! The goal is to create a plan you feel comfortable with that works for you and meets your needs.
Relationship coaching is a great way to navigate the minefield of dating, whether avoiding dreaded apps or trying to fend off inner and external pressure to be in a relationship. It explores attachment and insecurity issues, communication problems and issues with conflict, improving your sex life and emotional connection, getting your needs met and understanding each other better.
At the same time, it can help to get over an ex or a toxic relationship, hold boundaries and know your worth, overcome heartbreak or a breakup, navigate marriage or divorce, and even make a healthy relationship even closer, more healthy and robust.
Ultimately, the goal is to give you tools and techniques to help you reach your desired intentions and build a positive relationship with yourself and others.
I offer individual coaching tailored to your specific needs. During our sessions, we will work together to identify the core issues in your relationships and explore your deepest needs, values, and feelings.
PDA Coaching
PDA stands for Pathological Demand Avoidance, and it’s a profile of Autism that presents with extreme difficulty in meeting the expectations of others or ordinary demands of life. It’s incredibly challenging, isolating, and confusing for those affected by PDA, their families, and those closest to them.
If you’ve been diagnosed or suspect you have Autism or PDA – my unique Coaching Sessions and plans are created just for you. I’m also Autistic with a PDA profile and deeply relate to our unique barriers.
My approach to Coaching is tailored to the needs of PDAers, considering your unique challenges.
I provide practical tools and strategies designed to help manage stuff you find challenging – delivered in creative and imaginative ways that work brilliantly with your demand avoidance!
Central to this approach is the Reality Checked App, which provides an easy way to engage with their coaching plan and stay motivated.
The App provides:
I also provide resources that help to normalise neurodivergence and regard it as a gift rather than a curse!
The PDA Coaching Plan works with your demand avoidance to help you find a way out of the neurodivergent woods!
Coaching can help you gain control over your life and make meaningful changes in the way you perceive yourself and your limitations and challenges.
The main focus of my ASD Coaching Plan is to help you become yourself and “unmask” – rather than trying to conform to a world and other people that doesn’t work for you! No more square pegs forced into round holes!
It’s a unique kind of support that guides you through learning to accept yourself, communicate your needs and feelings to others more effectively, understand yourself better, advocate for yourself, and confidently take action.
PDA Coaching allows you to develop strategies and skills to empower you in all areas of life.
We’ll cover identifying triggers, learning to self-advocate, developing coping strategies, and building self-esteem, confidence, authenticity, and resilience.
Coaching will give you access to new strategies (both practical and psychological), which will enable you to manage your “demands” better – whatever pressures consistently feel overwhelming for you.
It’ll help improve your confidence and relationships and regain control of your life.
Having PDA myself – I understand how demanding even the simple and fun things in life can seem and the unique challenges of committing to a program of learning or change.
I tailor your Coaching Plan to your needs and how you process information, manage emotions, and relate to others and the world.
Much of the support currently available seems to come from a neurotypical perspective that assumes to know and understand what it’s like to live with neurodivergence by observing how it appears from the outside.
I understand how it feels to be in the unique position of living with a PDA myself, and therefore, I can offer hard-earned wisdom, support, help, and advice from that perspective. I dedicate my entire approach to speaking your language, connecting with you at the deepest level, and delivering content that appeals to and works in unison with you.
My Coaching Plan & App provides resources with invaluable wisdom, handy tips, and strategies for managing daily life and relationships for PDAers.
You can access these through your Members Portal on the Reality Checked App as part of your Coaching Plan.
My Coaching Plan is unique in its approach to understanding neurodivergence as a superpower – not something to be ashamed of or hidden away! Let’s embrace it together!
If you have any questions about my PDA Coaching Plan, please don’t hesitate to contact me; I’ll gladly answer them. Contact me at coaching@smanthacoleman.online.
ADHD Coaching
ADHD coaching is a specialised form of life coaching designed to support those living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
It focuses on helping you identify and manage your challenges to live a more successful life – however you define it! I help you recognise your unique talents and abilities and provide strategies for managing the symptoms associated with your ADHD.
We’ll find ways to work with the challenging aspects of your unique ADHD presentation and build the best possible relationship and attitude towards those aspects of yourself.
ADHD Coaching also helps you to build self-esteem and confidence by encouraging you to recognise your value and potential – and the hidden gifts of being neurodivergent, rather than seeing yourself as inadequate or deficient or incapable.
ADHD coaching is a collaborative process whereby we build an understanding of your needs, strengths and intentions or goals. We’ll identify attainable objectives and create achievable action plans to reach those objectives.
My ADHD Coaching Plan works with the Reality Checked App, which provides a personal coaching Members Portal and individualised action plan, tailored courses, resources and guidance to help you address the challenges of living with ADHD.
Your intentions and needs will determine the focus of each session – and it may include topics such as improving communication and setting boundaries, managing time, organising your life, communicating your struggles with others and managing your relationships, work or study problems, organising ideas, tasks and priorities, understanding motivation and procrastination, or developing strategies for success.
I’m here to provide support, guidance and encouragement throughout the process – I’ll be your partner in helping you become your best self!
Together, we can work to unlock your potential and make sure that nothing is holding you back from living life on your terms.
ADHD Coaching supports you in improving your self-concepts, life, relationships, and reaching your potential.
Through our work together, I’ll help you identify strategies tailored to your needs – so you don’t have to rely on a one-size-fits-all approach.
By understanding and utilising your skills, you’ll find better ways of managing your “symptoms” – giving you the confidence and clarity needed to make decisions that serve you and enable you to reclaim your inner power rather than feeling so “wrong” or on the brink of devastating collapse and shameful exposure constantly!
You’ll also learn to use positive language when talking about yourself. So, instead of feeling like you’re a problem, you’ll know you can advocate for yourself and communicate your needs and feelings more confidently and directly with others.
Relationship Coaching
Relationship coaching helps you improve your connection or emotional intimacy with others and enhances your self-awareness and insight into various dynamics between you and others.
You’ll learn how to communicate effectively with your partner(s) and build healthy and solid foundations for lasting relationships. It also helps you navigate complex situations, deal with difficult emotions, insecurities, and attachment issues, manage conflict, and develop trust and intimacy.
Essentially, we’ll work through any underlying issues that may be causing tension or strain in your relationship(s).
Whether you’re trying to get over a breakup, move on from your ex, or are looking to improve an existing relationship or start a new one – my Coaching provides tailored advice and support appropriate for your unique situation.
Relationship coaching starts with assessing where you are in your relationships and what you’d like to improve. We’ll work together to identify the areas that need attention, consider the dynamics in your relationships – past and present – and identify any negative patterns or cycles.
From there, we’ll devise an achievable plan and solutions to improve communication, authenticity, trust, and connection.
We’ll explore the different ways you’ve learned to deal with conflict so that you can express your feelings and needs more confidently, freely and authentically.
As with all my Coaching Plans – the Reality Checked App acts as your 24/7 digital companion throughout your journey; the App provides tailored guidance and resources to support you in developing new skills and strategies for lasting relationships.
Relationship coaching enables you to find your voice and express yourself more authentically. It provides the tools to build strong emotional connections with others – whatever your relationship status.
You’ll learn how to share your feelings and needs, develop better communication skills, identify negative patterns of behaviour, build trust and intimacy, practise self-care, and understand our influence on our relationships.
Together, we can improve your relationship(s) with yourself and others – so that you experience more love, joy and connection. You’ll leave our time together feeling more empowered to create healthy relationships that respect and honour everyone involved.
Finally, I’ll support you in creating a lasting vision for your relationship(s) – so that you can keep working towards achieving it after our work together has ended.
Reality Checked is a revolutionary wellbeing app that combines the expertise of a therapist and coach to help you achieve your goals and improve your mental wellbeing. It provides a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges while offering guidance and support to help you overcome obstacles and live a more fulfilling life.
It’s a groundbreaking app designed to transform your life, relationships and self-concepts. The App is an immersive adventure that exposes your inner shadows and the dark external forces that shape your perceptions of reality and limit your potential, taking you on a unique journey of self-discovery.
Reality Check aims to awaken your mind, body, and spirit to powerful truths hidden in plain sight.
The Reality Checked App offers comprehensive courses to challenge perceptions and open your mind to new possibilities. The App is also a portal to a vibrant community of like-minded individuals struggling in life, frustrated by the state of the world, and curious about the nature of reality and consciousness.
Reality Checked utilises a personalised approach to support your mental wellbeing journey. Through therapy techniques, coaching strategies, revolutionary perspectives on life, and interactive exercises, the App helps you gain insights, set realistic intentions, and develop practical skills to navigate life’s challenges. You can access video lessons and tutorials, guided spiritual practice, online journaling and interactive workbooks, and progress-tracking tools within the App.
The Reality Checked App offers a range of features, such as:
Reality Checked is designed for individuals seeking personal growth, self-improvement, and emotional wellbeing. Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or relationship issues or simply looking to enhance your overall happiness and fulfilment, Reality Checked can help. The App is suitable for individuals of all ages and backgrounds who are committed to personal growth and open to exploring new perspectives.
The App provides an immersive, deep dive into your mind’s and emotions’ inner workings. It goes beyond conventional wisdom and common knowledge to expose stunning and deeply flawed “realities” kept hidden from you by powerful, unseen, and deeply misunderstood forces.
These dark, mysterious forces are gradually unveiled as you work through the content and map the narrative of your life, relationships, and unfolding perceptions in each course – connecting them directly with your personal experiences. You’ll learn about these mysterious forces and discover how they operate outside our awareness and the terrible consequences they bring.
Reality Check provides an ever-evolving library of thought-provoking content and discussions that challenge convention, with loads of multimedia resources to help you become who you are and live your best possible life!
It gives you an immersive, interactive learning experience combined with practical tools such as multimedia content, including online journals, fillable workbooks and worksheets, and visual and creative exercises to help you absorb the content, stay grounded, have fun and get inspired, – and headed on the best possible path in life!
The App is also a platform to connect with others on their Reality Check journey and share your experiences of self-discovery in an open, warm environment. Contribute with your questions, experiences, and insights as you work through (or watch from the sidelines if you prefer!)
Reality Checked unlocks profound truths within you and challenges your perceptions to provide new perspectives into your life and your most profound nature. It helps you better understand yourself, your relationships (past and present), and the world around you. It empowers you to find your inner power and voice to express yourself fully – and discover hidden resources to create your best life!
It teaches you to embrace confidence and feel liberated and empowered enough to screw what everyone thinks and challenge conventions that aren’t serving you! Your reality check opens doors to new perceptions with life-transforming power.
Knowledge is always liberating and empowering, even when harsh and confrontational (especially when!) You’ll explore the worst parts of human nature and our gravest mistakes, so it’s not for the faint-hearted! It exposes the tragic, harsh realities and concealed truths surrounding the “dark forces” in your life.
As you’d expect with any “reality check”, it’s bold, honest, eye-opening, and “confrontational”. The punches, however, are not aimed at you!
It takes you through a 5 stage exploration of the most profound aspects of your life – your needs, senses and emotions, relationships, memories, and self-concepts. You can expect an unflinching look at the full scale of your human existence, from your most intimate thoughts and feelings to the broader systemic struggles and problems within society, the cultures and civilisations we’ve created, and how devastatingly and destructively you’re caught up within them.
The reality check opens your eyes and mind to how humanity’s tragic mistakes – past and current – are so deeply embedded in your consciousness that you’ve almost lost sight of who you are, why you’re here, and what you’re capable of. Worse still, you probably think it’s all your fault!
Reality Checked stands apart because it offers a comprehensive, global-scale approach to personal growth, development, and transformation. It focuses on the most intimate aspects of your life and the broader systemic issues affecting our world today.
It takes the profound complexities that seem too overwhelming to contemplate and make sense of – let alone overcome – and delivers them directly to your “inner knowing” via your imagination, bypassing the need to grasp everything intellectually. Too much thinking and rumination can get us tied up in knots! As you work through each stage, your unconscious naturally absorbs and spontaneously resolves the conflicted knots within you!
You’ll feel more connected with our collective humanity, gaining the wisdom, clarity and insight to see through all the BS and get straight to the heart of matters. With entirely new perspectives of reality!

There are no time constraints; the App works with you and adapts to your individual needs, style, and pace – so you can take as much or as little time as you need to achieve excellent outcomes and life changes!
The App allows you to tailor the pace and style of your learning to suit your preferences. The main courses have ten units; one per week is a good guideline for working through the content. However, the App is flexible and created to work around you and fit your needs and lifestyle. The wisdom and skill you’ll discover are ever-evolving, and there’s always new content to explore, whether you’re in the mood for a quick dip microdose of learning or you want to dive into more immersive, exploratory material that takes time.
You can personalise your Reality Check and choose various guided “roadmaps” through the content to suit your mood, needs, challenges, lifestyle, habits, and intentions. Your Portal (the central learning hub) offers a tailored Reality Checked experience to help you navigate the content and select your “must-see” lessons – content you’ll love and benefit the most from – so that you stay on track.
The App offers a unique course, “Divergent World”, created for anyone who feels atypical or neurodivergent and screwed over by a world that doesn’t appreciate or understand the brilliance of diversity quirkiness!
Find out more about the Reality Checked Divergent Experience here.
Each course also has a ‘Down The Rabbit Hole’ BONUS MINI COURSE hidden within it. This course is perfect if you love diving into the deepest parts of your soul and losing yourself in the most profound, subliminal, scientific, spooky, and deep and meaningful aspects of your reality check!

The App currently offers ten courses:

Two Free Courses
Here’s A Quick Guide:
Therapy emphasises unravelling your past to make sense of how it’s impacting you today so that you can break free from negative cycles and self-limiting beliefs or self-destructive consequences that have emerged from adverse and harmful past experiences or relationships.
Coaching is best if the past no longer troubles you (or you’d rather not delve into it!). It’s the ideal choice if you prefer to focus mainly on your current experiences and challenges.
Little tip: Be mindful that you’re not avoiding things about the past (minimising your experiences or invalidating your feelings about historical events or relationships). Many people avoid “going there” because it seems too painful or pointless to dwell on the past. Generally speaking, avoiding things only makes them worse. Do memories of the past stir up disturbing or confusing feelings?
If you’re unsure whether the past still haunts you, why not book an online Intro Session with me so that I can help you figure it out?
Reality Checked is an excellent choice if you’re on a budget or feel uncertain about the commitment of therapy or coaching. It’s also great if you’ve had lots of mental healthcare in the past and feel disillusioned or frustrated and unable to find the answers you’re looking for. It’s also suitable if you want to keep on track, monitor your progress, and top yourself up with fresh ideas and compelling content!
The App is designed for curious minds that love learning about awesome unknowable things, figuring out who they are and searching for substance and soul, fascinated by the inner workings and deeper meanings of everything – especially ourselves.
Another idea is to book a 20-minute online “Introductory Session” with me. It’s free (well, £10 but refundable against your first full-price session). We can discuss your needs and what you’d like to achieve (or let go) and devise the best plan for you!
Absolutely! The App provides an excellent structure or framework to conceptualise your life-transforming intentions or goals and work through the complexities of your past experiences and relationships.
Reality Checked works seamlessly with my professional therapy and coaching services because the content encapsulates all my experience and expertise. Completing any of the courses is like having a condensed version of Therapy and coaching combined with spirituality, empowering you to make real and lasting changes.
You can also book individual coaching or therapy sessions directly from your Reality Checked App.
The self-directed learning on the App includes a vast array of engaging multimedia content to record your journey, map any profound insights or realisations, and chart your progress.
At any point, if you find yourself stuck, blocked, or confused, then the support of Therapy or Coaching can help move things along. Combining one-to-one sessions with the App is an excellent way to ensure that issues raised in therapy or coaching are better retained, addressed, resolved and integrated into your life.
If you combine the App with Therapy or coaching, you also receive a special discount!

Yes, you can! Or, you can get involved from the sidelines and dive into others’ conversations as a “keen observer” if that’s your thing!
Reality Checked hosts a vibrant community to connect with like-minded people across more than 30 special-interest channels with fascinating discussion subjects and Q&A opportunities.
The community provides the opportunity for meaningful discussions and shared experiences, giving you support from others who relate to your struggles and mini triumphs and share your deep interest in our minds, mental health, consciousness and the weird and wonderful world of being human!

Yes! The entire App, courses, and content are accessible via the App and a web-based version, making it easy to use on your laptop or phone.
The “World” Courses on Reality Checked are Divergent World, Other World, and Human World.
The World courses focus on your life from the “outside-in” by exploring how external forces (other people, groups, or systems in society) impact your sense of identity and quality of life. Whereas the 5-Stage Reality Checked courses mainly explore your interior world and the emergence of your mind, experiences, and personality. The World courses explore your life’s challenges from the “inside out”.
Divergent World enlightens and transforms your unique and diverse struggles with neurodivergence, social anxiety (and conventions), mental health, self-worth, and relationships. This course provides a unique lens on life, allowing you to dive into the hidden world of your neurodivergence and the inequalities and injustices you face.
Other Worldworld explores your life’s spiritual, metaphysical, and transcendental aspects. It brings mystical beliefs straight into the twenty-first century by exploring how the latest science increasingly supports and intertwines with the religious, spiritual and esoteric understanding of reality. This course shows why and how your spirit is a fundamental part of who you are and firmly establishes “otherworldly” influences as relevant and applicable to your daily life and experiences.
Human World helps you discover your true self by uncovering wider society’s underlying nature and structures and the systemic corruption and grave errors deeply embedded within it. This course explores how our civilisation and culture profoundly impact your life and self-concepts by influencing your mind and shaping your reality.
