ABOUT THE PRACTICE
Therapy shaped by experience inside demanding professional environments.
Before moving into therapy, I worked as a business analyst within investment banking. That experience continues to influence how I understand stress, performance pressure, competing demands and the difficulty of switching off when work carries real consequences.
Today I work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds, including professionals dealing with anxiety, burnout, overthinking, confidence difficulties, procrastination and performance pressure.
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
From investment banking to therapeutic practice.
Working within investment banking gave me first-hand experience of environments where deadlines are tight, expectations are high and several important priorities may need attention at the same time.
Pressure in those environments is not always simply about working long hours. It can come from responsibility, uncertainty, internal politics, constant task-switching, fear of mistakes and the sense that performance is continually being evaluated.
That background can be particularly useful when working with people in banking, finance and other high-pressure careers. There is often less need to explain the working culture before we can begin looking at the pattern that is actually creating difficulty.

Practical, structured and collaborative.
The aim is not simply to talk about the problem. We work to understand how the pattern operates and identify where a different response can be developed and practised.
Understand the pattern
We look at triggers, thoughts, physical responses and behaviours rather than treating the difficulty as a single isolated symptom.
Work on the response
Cognitive, behavioural and hypnotic methods can be used according to the individual problem and what appears to be maintaining it.
Test it in real life
Between-session practice helps move useful changes beyond the consulting room and into the situations where they actually matter.
WHO I WORK WITH
Support for people who are functioning — but finding the pressure increasingly difficult to carry.
Many clients are continuing to work, study, manage responsibilities and appear capable from the outside. The difficulty is that internally the same stress response, worry, avoidance or self-doubt keeps repeating.
- Stress and persistent overthinking
- Burnout and difficulty switching off
- Public speaking and performance pressure
- Procrastination and avoidance
- Confidence affected by setbacks
- Exam and academic pressure
- Sleep disrupted by stress or mental activity
Sessions are individual rather than programme-led, with the work adapted around the person's circumstances and goals.

PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION
CNHC Registered
Professional registration is available for clients who wish to verify practitioner status. It forms part of the practice's professional standards rather than the focus of the therapeutic work.
OUTSIDE THE PRACTICE
Perspective matters outside the consulting room too.
Time away from work, movement and being outdoors provide a useful counterbalance to environments built around deadlines, screens and constant mental activity.
It is also a reminder of something relevant to therapy: progress is rarely about forcing everything to change at once. Often it begins with understanding where you are, choosing a direction and taking the next workable step.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
A conversation before deciding whether to proceed.
The complimentary discovery call is an opportunity to briefly explain what you would like help with, ask questions and decide whether the approach feels like a suitable fit.
