About me
When success stops being enough. You may be successful, capable and accustomed to being the person others rely upon, yet find yourself questioning something beneath the surface. Perhaps you are experiencing burnout, anxiety, relationship difficulties or a loss of direction. Perhaps your career is going well, but you feel disconnected, restless or unsure about what comes next.
I work particularly with high-performing professionals, executives and leaders, including people working in finance, technology, law, politics and other demanding environments.
My work is existential and integrative, offering a confidential space to explore not only what is difficult now, but the deeper questions of identity, relationships, ambition, meaning, choice and how you want to live.
I am an existential and integrative psychotherapist with a professional background spanning finance, technology, leadership, consulting and politics.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in demanding professional environments where performance, responsibility, decision-making and the ability to operate under pressure were part of everyday life. This experience gives me an unusually grounded understanding of the worlds many of my clients inhabit.
I now work with people who may be struggling with anxiety, burnout, relationships, identity, professional pressure or questions of meaning and purpose.
My approach is thoughtful, collaborative and relational. I don't see therapy as a process of fixing a person or simply removing symptoms. Instead, it can provide the opportunity to understand yourself more deeply and to consider what you want your life to be about.
Training, qualifications & experience
Existential & Integrative Psychotherapy
Existential psychotherapy is concerned with some of the fundamental questions of being human: Who am I? What matters to me? How do I want to live? What choices are available to me? How do I relate to uncertainty, responsibility, freedom and the limitations of life?
These questions can become particularly significant during periods of transition, professional success, loss, relationship change or when the life we have built no longer feels entirely like our own.
My approach is integrative, drawing on different psychological perspectives according to the person and the issues we are exploring. The therapeutic relationship itself is an important part of the work.
I can help with:
- Anxiety and persistent stress
- Burnout and professional pressure
- Relationship difficulties
- Perfectionism and high self-expectations
- Identity and self-worth
- Career and life transitions
- Loss of meaning or direction
- Feeling disconnected despite outward success
- Difficult decisions and periods of uncertainty
- Questions about purpose, fulfilment and the next stage of life
Existential psychotherapy can be particularly valuable when the difficulty is not simply a symptom to remove, but a question you need space to understand.
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.

Further information
Perhaps you have spent much of your life being the person who copes, performs and finds a way forward. Therapy can offer something different: a space where you don't need to have the answer.
If something in your life has begun to feel unsettled, or if you simply want to understand yourself and your choices more deeply, I would be happy to explore whether working together might be right for you.
