Psyschosynthesis Therapist - MBACP (Accred), MBA

About me

As a former technology executive turned Depth Therapist, I bring unique insight to the intersection of corporate achievement and psychological depth. My approach combines two decades of executive leadership experience with advanced therapeutic training, specialising in working with high-performing professionals navigating complex organisational dynamics, burnout, and transformative change.

While I maintain a select community practice, my primary focus is depth psychological work with executives and leaders. My methodology goes beyond traditional therapy to integrate somatic awareness, organisational dynamics, and leadership psychology. Having personally navigated the challenges of C-suite environments across multiple continents and industries, I understand firsthand the complex interplay between corporate power structures, personal identity, and psychological wellbeing.

My practice offers a sophisticated framework for executives seeking to transform professional challenges into opportunities for deeper understanding and sustainable leadership. Drawing from both my MBA and advanced psychological training, I help leaders recognise how their analytical strengths can become powerful tools for personal insight rather than sources of self-critique.

Sessions provide a confidential space where the unique pressures of executive life can be explored and transformed, moving beyond surface-level stress management to address the deeper patterns that shape professional and personal fulfilment.

Prior to my therapeutic work, I spent two decades as a senior technology executive, holding C-suite positions and managing global portfolios. My MBA from London Business School and extensive corporate experience inform my unique approach to depth work. My early career as a performing artist adds another dimension to my understanding of creativity, presence, and authentic expression.

This diverse professional journey enriches my therapeutic practice, combining strategic insight with psychological depth. I bring both analytical precision and creative understanding to our work, particularly valuable when exploring complex personal and professional dynamics.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Additional information

I offer 50-minute depth sessions, structured to create meaningful psychological development for senior professionals.  For executive clients, I provide an initial 60-minute consultation at a reduced rate, allowing us to explore your objectives and assess our potential working relationship. I typically structure executive engagements as six sessions followed by a strategic review, recognising that sustainable psychological development requires consistent commitment.

I maintain a select client roster to ensure optimal focus and availability, offering sessions in London (Tuesdays) and online globally.

While my executive depth work forms the core of my practice, I maintain a select community practice, including local (Margate) and LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, reflecting my commitment to diverse perspectives and experiences in psychological work.

Further information

Drawing on my unique background spanning corporate leadership and psychological practice, I create a distinct therapeutic environment where senior professionals can explore their inner landscape with the same rigour they apply to their external achievements.

My approach integrates deep analytical understanding with somatic awareness, particularly valuable for executives navigating complex organisational dynamics and personal transitions. I specialise in helping leaders recognise how their professional experiences have shaped their psychological architecture, moving beyond surface-level stress management to achieve genuine psychological transformation.

While my practice focuses on executive depth work, I maintain strong ties to the LGBTQ+ professional community and bring nuanced understanding of identity and power dynamics in corporate settings. My background in both depth psychology and corporate leadership allows for a sophisticated exploration of the intersection between professional excellence and authentic selfhood.

Sessions are available in  London (Tuesdays), my Margate practice, and via secure online platforms for global clients.
