This is Journey Within

An Invitation to Stop.

Ambitious but exhausted?

Overwhelmed, yet underwhelmed at the same time?

Doing everything right on the outside, but something still isn’t right on the inside.

Feeling stuck. Feeling lost.

Running on empty while still showing up for everyone else.

This is an invitation to stop.

To go inward.

To look honestly at the patterns you’ve been carrying — not with blame, but with curiosity and compassion.

Most of us are running on programming we didn’t choose, formed in childhood, that is still running the show.

The work is about seeing all of that through adult eyes — and deciding, finally,

What to keep and what to let go of.

The Journey

Layer by layer, we shed the programs that were built for survival.

Most approaches do one of two things.

They either look back — making sense of the past, understanding what shaped you.

Or they look forward — goals, action, momentum.

Therapeutic Coaching™ does both. Developed by Alex Howard, it sits at the intersection of psychotherapy and coaching.

We don’t bypass the past, and we don’t get stuck in it either. We use it.

We start with now.

We explore what’s happening in your life, build tools and resources you can use immediately — creating enough steadiness to look at the past without being swallowed by it.

Then we go back together.

With compassion, and through adult eyes. We look at what shaped you, integrate the parts that have been working so hard to keep you safe, and begin to loosen the grip of what no longer serves you.

Then we look forward.

What do you actually want?

Often that answer shifts once the past has been seen clearly.

I’m not going to take up much space here — because this really isn’t about me.

I came to this work through my own journey within. I know what it feels like to want to move forward and feel pulled back at the same time.

Sometimes we just need to go there — to the past — so we can finally let go and step forward.

I believe that the most powerful thing a person can do — for themselves and for everyone around them — is come back to themselves. Fully.

When you do that work, it doesn’t just change you.

It changes how you show up for the people around you. And they change how they show up for theirs.

That ripple goes further than you can see from where you’re standing right now.

That’s why I do this.

My job is to sit with you, stay curious, and help you find your way back.

A little bit about me

Kelly Suriol, Certified Therapeutic Coach at Journey Within, Brighton

What my clients say …

“During a time when I was struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, and a lack of confidence, Kelly was an invaluable source of support. I had reached a point where I noticed repeating patterns that were holding me back.

She helped me identify the root of my fears and guided me toward a deeper understanding of myself.

Through our work together, she introduced me to tools that allowed me to be kinder to myself.

Within just a couple of months, I began to see positive changes in my life.

One of the most impactful tools was parts work, which Kelly introduced me to, helping me shift from self-judgment to self-compassion in my introspection.

Before working with Kelly, I was desperate to change jobs but would freeze up during interviews.

After several sessions, I gained the confidence to successfully complete an interview, and within a few months, I was offered a job that exceeded my expectations.”

Mel

“Thank you for being there during a hard time in my life.

Thank you for listening, for your advice, and for providing me with coping tools and mechanisms that I will never forget.

You are phenomenal, Kelly.”

Natasha

‘Being able to work with Kelly was a gift from the universe.

I started working with Kelly at a time when I was going through major life changes and felt that I needed support to find my way again.

Kelly helped me to get back on track during our several months of working together.

What I appreciate most about her is her empathy, her warm presence, and her deep knowledge.

She is a great listener and always comes up with the right tools to work through difficult life situations and to make decisions that align with my true self.

We worked on my core beliefs that kept me from doing what I really wanted to do.

After working with Kelly, I now feel that I can handle any life situation.

Thank you so much!”
