Career Guidance Counselling in West London
Professionally, I am a Quantum and Psychosynthesis Psychologist, with 30 years of direct experience in Conscious Development.
My personal journey led to the creation of Insight Meditation Therapy (IMT) – a Personal Discipline for the Ownership of Mind; the authoring of ‘Quantum Psychology – The Architect of Reality, and the Reality of Identity’; and the founding of Universalgrowth – A Platform for Human Development.
All three are the product of a lifetime of metacognitive and metaphysical inquiry – and of the direct knowledge graced through the lived practices themselves.

As my ideal client, you're a professional, facing tricky obstacles at work or at home, who knows that you've got to grow to live better.

I help with burnout, stress, anxiety and career pressure, especially for founders, leaders and professionals who feel responsible for holding everything together.

I work with founders, leaders and professionals who may look capable on the outside, but feel stretched, stuck, anxious, burnt out or unable to switch off. Sessions offer a confidential space to understand what is happening beneath the surface and find a steadier way forward.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out or are looking for better clarity or cohesion in life. You may be functioning well on the outside but quietly struggling underneath, or you may be dealing with the effects of ongoing pressure from work, relationships, or life circumstances. There may also be challenges in relationships with others or yourself, or a sense of not quite knowing why certain patterns repeat.

I believe that we all have a deep need to be understood; the feeling that another human being gets it. For some of us, that feeling is all too rare. Without it, our lives can become deeply unfulfilling, painful and hard, and we can feel let down by others, hurt and alone. Sometimes we don't even understand for ourselves why things are so difficult. Perhaps we've become trapped by events of the past, or can’t imagine a new future because the present is so intolerable. Faced with this, we can turn to ways of being that, although they helped initially perhaps, over time just made things worse.

I am a dual-trained coach and clinical psychologist, working with clients to help them move forward in work, relationships or other areas of life.

Career Guidance Counsellors
How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.
Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
