You have courage and determination in the face of life's challenges. I can only imagine you have been grappling with issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles, yet you refuse to let these obstacles define you. Instead, you're hungry for change, yearning for a sense of peace and fulfillment that seems just out of reach. Your needs are raw and real, but you want a change of direction, because you feel stuck. I appreciate you may be scared, but I will be here throughout.

You look like you’re living the dream. You buy Whispering Angel these days, have a job that sounds impressive at parties and a partner who loves you enough to traipse round shrines in Kamakura and look interested. You have friends who indulge your brunch habits (and wait for you to take photos first). But if we’re being honest, there’s something else going on beneath the enviable surface. Your screen time is stupidly long, you follow more therapists on Instagram than actual friends, and your self-help books are gathering dust (honestly 'Let Them' was a let down).

I am a qualified psychotherapist, life coach, trainer and supervisor, with over 25 years experience in private practice. I work with adults who may be encountering life's stressors to a greater-than-usual degree or may be struggling to find their way forward in a diverse range of circumstances. These may be from personal or professional sources but usually involve our own, perhaps not very helpful, habitual ways of dealing with such difficulties - we all can revert to old habits in times of trouble. I am available to do both short- and long-term work according to need.
