A Place to Reflect, Change and Get Back on Track
Life - Relationships - Work - Meaning & Purpose
I work with individuals, couples and professionals who want a place to make sense of what is going on in their lives and the support to make meaningful changes.
​
I work at a level of depth that engages with the psychological blockers where most people get stuck. These are the internal barriers that have been preventing you from turning insight and self-awareness into action and change in your personal life, work life and relationships.
​
I've worked with City executives, start-up founders, actors, musicians, medical professionals, and a host of other people navigating life, relationship and work challenges. Before retraining as a psychotherapist, I spent 20 years as a senior leader and executive coach in financial services, so I understand the particular pressures of challenging working environments and how that balances with personal life and important relationships. But what matters most is not background or profession. It's a willingness and desire to reflect, to understand what makes you tick, what holds you back, and how you might experiment with change.
Services
Individual Therapy / Coaching
Many people come to me not with a specific problem to fix, but with a sense that something important is out of alignment - in their relationships, their work, or their sense of meaning and purpose. Others come with a specific concern, including anxiety, burnout, depression, imposter syndrome, anger, or challenges related to work relationships or major life transitions.
​
Couples Therapy
Relationships are central to our lives, and relationship challenges, whilst uncomfortable, are opportunities to understand our partners and ourselves better. I work with couples at all stages, from pre-marriage to decades-long partnerships.

Professionals / Executives
If you are a senior professional, executive, business founder or co-founder, you will know that the challenges you face at work rarely stay neatly within work. Pressure, performance, relationships with colleagues or co-founders, questions about direction and identity - these have a way of reaching into every part of life.
