I'm a warm and experienced Clinical Psychologist and Coach who has been working with people facing a wide range of challenges for nearly two decades.

My clients are typically high-functioning professionals — lawyers, founders, doctors, consultants — who are doing well on paper but feel stuck, depleted, anxious or quietly disconnected. Some come for therapy; others for coaching to navigate a transition, a leadership challenge or a sense of "what next?".

The work is collaborative and structured. We work on your thought patterns, habits and behaviours - implementing changes in manageable steps to reverse and break free from existing cycles. We start with a careful formulation of what's going on and why, then draw on the most appropriate evidence-based approach — CBT, ACT, schema, compassion-focused therapy, or Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC) — to make meaningful change possible.

Both Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) are practical, evidence-based models which look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and affect us day to day. Using these models, I help clients to understand the patterns which may be keeping them stuck and develop the skills to respond differently and move forward with their lives and goals.

Where I work

In person in central London, online with clients across the UK and internationally, and on retreat / residency abroad with international clients and organisations.

Organisational clients

I deliver keynotes, masterclasses and longitudinal programmes for law firms, banks, consultancies and creative agencies on resilience, psychological safety, performance, and the human reality of senior leadership.
