About me

Stop "getting through the week" and start feeling like yourself again.

Exhausted by the pressure to "have it all" while privately fearing you’re one Sunday-night-dread away from a collapse? Success on paper shouldn’t feel this heavy. If you are excelling in your career—whether in London or anywhere in the UK—but struggling with burnout, perfectionism, or the feeling that you’re just "treading water," you aren't alone.

As a specialist in high-performance coaching and therapy, I know that stress doesn't stay at the office; it disrupts your sleep, your sexual wellbeing, and your closest relationships. You don't need another productivity hack; you need a strategic, confidential space to understand the "why" behind your patterns and a clear map of how to change them.

A Space for the Whole You

My practice is LGBTQ+ affirmative and designed for the unique challenges faced by queer professionals and leaders. Whether navigating the complexities of identity in corporate environments, managing high-functioning anxiety, or addressing psychosexual concerns, I offer a space where your whole identity is understood and celebrated.

Who I Help

I specialise in supporting high-achieving professionals, leaders, and creatives who are:

Navigating Career Burnout: Managing workplace stress, imposter syndrome, and the loss of purpose.

Improving Relationships: Helping individuals and couples address the impact of high-pressure careers on intimacy and connection.

LGBTQ+ Professionals: Supporting those navigating authenticity, "coming out" in professional spaces, or queer-specific relationship dynamics.

Sexual Wellbeing: Providing psychosexual therapy to address performance anxiety, low desire, or other sexual concerns in a non-judgmental environment.

How We’ll Work Together

My approach is designed for busy, demanding lives. I use a unique blend of Relational Therapy (depth and understanding) and Solution-Focused Coaching (practical momentum). We don't just talk about the past; we build a concrete toolkit to help you navigate high-pressure environments with balance and clarity. My goal is to make our sessions the most productive time of your week.

Modern Therapy for Busy Schedules

I work exclusively via secure video link, providing a private, high-end therapeutic space that fits into your day without a commute.

Online Therapy UK: Secure, accessible support available to you anywhere in the country.

Total Privacy: Maximum confidentiality for high-profile individuals—no waiting rooms.

Maximum Flexibility: Sessions happen from the comfort of your own home or office.

Take the First Step

Moving past the "burnt-out" phase starts with one small action. I offer a free 30-minute consultation so we can chat about what you’re facing and see if we’re the right fit. There’s no pressure to commit—just a chance to see how we can get you back to a place of purpose and ease.

Member organisations

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.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

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.

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.

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
