About me
Therapy & Counselling for Executives, CEOs, Entrepreneurs & Professionals Under Pressure
When everyone relies on you, who do you talk to?
You may have achieved many of the things you once wanted, a successful career, financial security, a home and a life that looks good from the outside. You're capable, used to carrying responsibility, and good at holding it all together. Yet somewhere along the way, you may have lost sight of whether you're actually enjoying it.
Perhaps you're privately struggling with work stress, anxiety or burnout, constantly under pressure, overthinking everything, striving for perfection, or finding it hard to switch off and find a better balance between work and home. Maybe your relationships or life outside work are being affected too. You have built a life that looks successful on paper, but it doesn't necessarily feel that way from the inside.
Or perhaps things are going well. There is no obvious crisis, but you find yourself wondering what comes next. After years of achieving, building and taking responsibility, you may have reached a point where you want to think about what you genuinely want from the next chapter of your life.
You may be an executive, CEO, entrepreneur, business owner or professional, or simply someone who has spent years being the person others depend on. As a counsellor and therapist, I offer a space to step back from all of that, understand what's happening and consider what you want your life to feel like, not just what it looks like.
This work is private and personal to you. If you have a boss or an HR department, they do not need to know you are here, and there is no shame in seeking support. What you choose to explore here is yours, and nobody else’s business.
Training, qualifications & experience
Before becoming a therapist, I built and sold a multi million pound business, chaired an organisation and oversaw hundreds of people. I know what it is to carry responsibility, make the calls no one else can make and still have no one to be completely honest with.
That experience gives me a perspective that is unusual within therapy. I understand something of the pressures that can come with leadership, achievement and being the person others depend on.
My professional experience sits alongside my therapeutic training, not instead of it. I am a highly trained and BACP registered therapist, bringing professional rigour together with real life understanding and empathy.
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.

Additional information
Therapy for Executives, CEOs, Entrepreneurs & Professionals Under Pressure
I understand that finding time for sessions can be difficult when life is busy, particularly for those in senior leadership roles. I try to offer flexibility beyond a conventional schedule, so please get in touch and we can find a time that works together.
I take on a limited number of clients at any one time, which means each one gets my full attention, so if that sounds like what you're looking for my unique offer might be the right fit.
Standard sessions last fifty minutes.

Further information
Sometimes all you need is space to think, talk, and be heard. I offer a 90 minute online Power Session at £125 for exactly that.
Everyone is welcome I have specialist training in neurodiversity including autism and ADHD. I'm queer-affirmative, including but not limited to Gay men, so whatever your identity, background, or life story, this is a confidential place where you can speak freely and feel understood.
Many of my clients describe our therapy together as a chance to find clarity, resilience, and a sense of something lighter during times of change or challenge.
