About me
I run F04 Performance, a London based coaching and therapy firm specialising in High Performers.
Drawing on a variety of psychological approaches and the latest Vertical Development research from Harvard, FO4 Performance stands as a transformative coaching process and one of the very few that is grounded in an Existential-led methodology.
I have experience working with a wide range of clientele, ranging from CEO’s to Olympic athletes, start up entrepreneurs to world renowned influencers and Brit Award winning talent.
I allocate space for two private practice clients per month, helping individuals navigate issues such as problematic relationships, life transitions, alcohol and drug dependency, professional burn out, depression, anxiety and trauma.
Training, qualifications & experience
My core training is in Integrative Therapy and Vertical Development coaching. I am currently doing a masters in Existential Psychotherapy under Professor Emmy van Deurzen. I have undertaken further study in the following areas:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Polyvagal Theory
- Developmental Coaching
- Internal Family Systems
I am a qualified Mindfulness Teacher, accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding body (CAPCAB) and a qualified Life Coach, recognised by the National Counselling Society (NCS).
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.
