My clients tend to be driven, high-achieving, and under immense pressure. Whether it's chronic stress, self-doubt, anxiety, or trauma, they need a safe space to regain control and confidence. As a Chartered Counselling Psychologist (HCPC & BPS registered), I specialise in working with elite athletes and high performers, using evidence-based therapies like CBT and EMDR. I’ve supported premier league football clubs, the RFU, and RYA, and through the UK Sports Institute, Olympic athletes. I help athletes and high-achievers thrive under pressure and achieve their best, both in sport and life.

It is very human to have psychological difficulties at various points in our lives. Difficult things can happen to us leaving us feeling scared and/ or low/ depressed. Society can also make us feel pressurised to look a certain way and we can feel pretty worthless if don't believe that we conform to these societal expectations. All of these can be both frightening and overwhelming, which makes it so important to have a calm, compassionate and skilful therapist to guide you towards recovery.

Living with a long-term health condition can affect far more than your physical health. You may be adjusting to a diagnosis, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to feel like yourself again. I also work with people who feel stuck, burnt out, or off track, even without a specific diagnosis. Most people I see want to feel more in control, regain direction, and move forward in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.
