About me
Hello there. I help high-functioning professionals tackle anxiety, stress, and burnout through evidence-based psychology, coaching, and nature-inspired practice.
If you’re successful on the outside but struggling underneath, constantly worrying, under pressure, exhausted, unable to switch off, or simply feeling that you’re running on empty, I can help.
People come to me with all sorts of challenges, from anxiety and chronic stress to burnout, low confidence, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, overthinking, and long-standing patterns of unhelpful thinking. Sometimes there’s a specific problem they want to tackle; sometimes they simply know that something needs to change.
My job is to help you understand what is really driving those difficulties and, more importantly, do something about them.
I’ve been in full-time practice since 2004 and have helped thousands of people make meaningful changes to the way they think, feel, and respond to life’s challenges. My approach combines the structure and practicality of CBT and REBT with clinical hypnotherapy and positive psychology. I’m interested in what works — and in giving you practical strategies that you can actually use in real life.
I’m also the author of two published books on psychology, wellbeing and hypnotherapy, including The Four Thoughts That F*ck You Up (and How to Fix Them) and How to Cope with Almost Anything with Hypnotherapy. My work has also featured in the national media, and I regularly write, speak, and deliver workshops and webinars on psychological wellbeing.
Over more than two decades I’ve worked across private practice, private healthcare, occupational health, the NHS, and the Priory Hospital. That experience has given me a broad understanding of how psychological difficulties can affect people at work, at home, and in every other part of their lives. Plus, as a former full-time journalist, I know a thing or two about stress and pressure.
My style is straightforward, compassionate, and practical. I won’t judge you, patronise you, or bury you in psychological jargon. We’ll make sense of what’s going on, identify what needs to change, and work out how to change it.
I also offer a focused single-session approach for people who want to tackle a specific issue without committing immediately to longer-term therapy.
I work online only and you can book a free 15-minute consultation by phone or Zoom to see whether I’m the right person to help.
If you’re ready to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control (and to understand why you keep getting stuck in the same patterns) I’d be happy to hear from you.
