About me
If you're experiencing work-related anxiety, stress or burnout, navigating the emotional weight of a high-pressure role, or struggling within a toxic work environment, firstly, you are not alone.
The pressures and experiences we have within our work and our working environments can deeply affect our mental health, confidence, and self-esteem no matter the role you do, level you have reached or industry you work in.
For too long work-related mental and emotional health support has been surface level and symptom focused.
It has stayed away from naming the anxiety, bullying and burnout that impacts our identity, and shapes our interactions with friends, family, colleagues and partners.
Who I work with
I work with individuals at all stages of their working lives, no matter the role they are in, level they have reached or industry they work within, that are experiencing:
- Anxiety and emotional overwhelm throughout and beyond disciplinaries, redundancy consultations and settlement discussions
- Anxiety ahead of and during performance reviews and 1-2-1’s
- Burnout, stress and emotional overwhelm
- Grief, loss, shame and anger
- Moving forward from workplace bullying, abuse or sexual harassment
- Exploring the impact on your relationships outside of work
- Rediscovering your self-worth, confidence and sense of identity
- Establishing healthy boundaries and relationships at work and in life
- I have extensive experience supporting those in NHS and front-line roles whose work has the added complexity of decision fatigue, high pressure functioning and traumatic events and experiences over a sustained period of time.
HR & People People
I understand the emotional weight carried quietly and often unrecognised in the workplace, from the conversations you were never trained to carry. Whether you are seeking counselling or regular HR supervision, I offer both for individuals in these roles.
How therapy can help
Life doesn’t split neatly into the personal and professional, our experiences blend and can impact not only how we feel about ourselves, but how that shows up in all of our relationships - the platonic, familial, working and romantic.
You might be searching things like ‘how can I recover from a toxic workplace’ or ‘what are the signs of burnout’ as if you are a work problem to be solved.
This isn’t career advice, time management or better communication. Therapy offers a space to acknowledge the unspoken and to help you make meaningful change in a way that feels sustainable and supportive, not performative.
How I work
I offer a deeply relational and human way of working. I describe myself as an active therapist, I will name what I notice but also hold it with compassion. We may work with the impact of your past experiences on your current thoughts, feelings and behaviours or we may be grounded in the present, exploring what’s keeping you stuck, in order to help you move forwards. I hold a firm belief that you are the expert in your own life and you will always be the guide of where our work goes.
About me
As a young adult I had generalised anxiety disorder and it shaped my early working life, relationships and career. Over time my career looked like the ultimate measure of success but underneath it felt very different, and I stopped recognising the version of myself I performed on a daily basis to fit in.
After a 29 year career, the final decade of which was spent as a Head of People, I developed a deep appreciation for the impact our work can have on our mental and emotional health. It led me to retrained as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and then as a coach, and did so because I had the benefit of that support myself.
Whilst I support individuals experiencing a range of life’s challenges including anxiety, OCD, relationship issues and those impact by crime, I hold a special interest in supporting those whose work or working environment is shaping their view of themselves and their worth in the world.
Young People & Young Adults
Alongside private practice I work for a charity called SAFE Support that works with young victims of crime including domestic and sexual abuse, relational trauma and bullying and who presentations may include emotionally based school avoidance, anxiety, OCD, panic and phobias. I bring this work into my private practice and work with young people aged 12+.
Next Steps
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the process and I offer a free 20 minute video call so that we can meet one another, and you can a sense of who I am and how I work. You are welcome to book an intro call via this platform, send me an email or a text.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
