About me
I'm a UKCP-registered psychotherapist, and my work falls into 3 main categories:
Individual therapy, with clients who are often intelligent, articulate, personable, and conscientious to a fault - but at a crossroads in their emotional lives. They may feel overwhelmed or disconnected, struggling to make room for their own desires and autonomy in important relationships, and so focussed on attainment, appeasement or the pursuit of excellence that it's hard to know what they might want out of life for themselves. They may feel as though they experience the world quite differently from those around them. Together we work to identify areas of strength and resource, and where there is untapped potential for greater vitality, freedom, and ease in living.
Relationship therapy with couples or collaborators whose strong connection has come under pressure from high-intensity work, caregiving, or other challenging circumstances, and where the differences of temperament that made the relationship successful have become a source of misunderstanding and hurt. I help clients clarify the nature of their conflicts, express their needs and intentions clearly and compassionately, and find ways forward, within a therapeutic relationship that supports the entire relational system.
Coaching and consultancy aimed at supporting the highly intelligent and richly neurodiverse workforce that drives innovation in higher education, research, technology, and the arts. I support knowledge workers to defuse perfectionism, procrastination, impostor syndrome, and other productivity issues that often accompany creativity, high intelligence, and twice exceptionality. I work with individuals, and run group workshops and coaching for leaders and teams.
A guiding principle of my work is that everyone is different. We process thoughts and feelings differently, we all have different skillsets, desires and aversions.
Therapists are all different, too, and the right fit is important. Get in touch if you'd like to discuss how we might work together.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
