I have availability for new clients and Supervisees, as of March 2025. My working days are mondays and tuesdays, via Zoom. During these unprecedented times, it's more important than ever to be mindful of our mental health and well-being. I guess my USP is that I have 30 years of prior experience working at Director level in Investment banking, so if you value some real world experience, we might be a good match. I also have a special interest in working with clients dealing with long term health conditions, through my own lived experience.
My specialties, developed via my own lived experience, are in supporting Professionals in their personal and working lives, as well as clients dealing with chronic health conditions. I offer online counselling via Zoom and I have availability for new clients, as of March 2025.
My curiosity in people and nurturing nature, developed via my own lived experience with health issues and a 30 year career in industry, can help us to discover what it is that is preventing you from enjoying the happiness you deserve and find a way forward. I believe that real change is possible, as a wise man once said "this too shall pass."

I am an Integrative therapist, particularly combining Person-centred, CBT and Psychodynamic modalities and techniques. In our first session, we will explore what has brought you to therapy, and why now? You will lead the agenda, and we will work together to raise the self awareness of how these presenting issues are arising and what changes can be made.
