Before retraining, I spent more than 15 years in corporate environments as well as living and working abroad. I understand the world my clients move in: the expectations, the pressure to perform, and how easily identity becomes tied to how well you cope.
I also understand it from the inside. Like many of the people I work with, I've navigated my own turning points by doing what I'd always done. Thinking things through. Staying capable. Keeping things steady on the surface. Until that stopped working.
I know what it is to be highly self-aware in an analytical sense, to have understood yourself for years, and to find that understanding hasn't changed how you feel or behave. That gap between knowing and changing is often where the real work begins. It's also why I work the way I do.
I know the experience of appearing fine while something underneath feels less certain. Of continuing to show up, to hold things together, to be relied upon, while noticing that the ways you've learned to manage no longer bring the same ease.
Clients often tell me they feel seen in a way they're not used to. I speak their language. I understand the culture they move in. And I meet them with presence, warmth, and a willingness to gently challenge the patterns keeping them stuck.
Working with me is not about being analysed or advised. It's a space to step out of the role for a moment. To slow down, speak honestly, and understand what's really happening for you, without having to manage how that lands on anyone else.
I'm not the therapist who simply nods along. I'm here with you: engaged, attentive, and invested in what's actually happening beneath the surface.
I'm BACP accredited and registered. I have worked across the NHS, charities and EAPs over 15 years. I'm trained in integrative therapy, coaching and EMDR.
