Who I work with.
Why Work With Me
You're the person people rely on.
At work, you deliver. In your relationships, you hold things together. To the outside world, you are capable, composed, and high-functioning. But privately, there is a cost, and you're beginning to feel it.
Perhaps you've spent so long being the strong one that you've lost touch with who you are without the role. Perhaps you've achieved everything you set out to, and something still feels profoundly absent. This is the hidden cost of success. And it is exactly the kind of work I do.
I work with high-achieving professionals, couples under pressure, and young people aged 16 and above, people who are functioning well on the outside and quietly struggling underneath. Many have never sought therapy before. They come because their usual coping strategies are no longer enough.
Whatever brings you here, the work begins with being genuinely heard.
I bring something most therapists cannot : I have spent 17+ years inside the organisations my clients come from. As a senior programme manager who has led major transformations at organisations including Bupa, AstraZeneca, NHS Professionals and Transport for London, I understand the specific pressures of high-stakes corporate environments, the politics, the performance demands, the identity questions that come with seniority, and the particular exhaustion of holding authority whilst feeling unseen. I am also a researcher. My postgraduate work focuses specifically on financial stress and psychological wellbeing amongst Black professional women in the UK, an intersection that is chronically underserved by the mainstream mental health system.
This is not a background I bring up to impress. I bring it up because it changes what is possible in the room. You will not need to explain your world to me. We can go straight to the work. I am BACP-registered, JMT-certified as a coach, and hold an integrative clinical training informed by psychodynamic, person-centred, trauma-focused, and ACT approaches.
