Before I came to America I worked with soccer teams helping their players deal with anxiety, something I still do. Twice per year I return to England so therefore clients who are relatively independent and not in crisis are the best suited to working with me. Consequently, I do have a network of excellent support therapists who work with some of my clients while I am away. Many of my current clients are not sports people, they often have to cope with big work and home pressures. I try to help them locate their inner resources while maintaining a supportive stance throughout our meeting.

I offer support for those who feel like they're carrying the weight of the world-maybe it's a past trauma, anxiety, or strained relationships.

I provide a warm, non-judgemental space to unpack struggles, identify needs and narratives that no longer serve you, so that you can heal, connect, and thrive authentically. By working together, we'll forge a strong foundation for lasting change and personal growth.

I firmly believe in the power of resilience, self-compassion, and the potential for change in every individual.

Do you ever feel like you just can't quite get to where you want to be in life? Or that life can be so overwhelming that you don't know what choice is right? Do you struggle with understanding or coping with your thoughts or emotions that you end up feeling clouded from making important decisions? Our values and relationships often drive us through life, but they can sometimes be confusing or feel unattainable. Life can be a rollercoaster that leaves us feeling lost, frustrated, sad, or hopeless, but there are always solutions.

Are you ready to change your life for the better? No matter what you are going through, remember: you are not your problem!

I invite you to work with me to untangle and understand your life, increase personal security and life satisfaction, and resolve issues and symptoms that are holding you back from becoming the person you really want to be.

For as long as you can remember, you’ve had to hide your true feelings. Even as a child, you realized you were different, so to avoid problems, you started to pretend. Now, as an LGBTQ+ identifying adult, you’ve gained a far better understanding of who you are. You’re a rockstar at work, well-respected and accomplished in your field. You have a lovely home and a steady support network. To the outside world, you have it all together, but deep inside remains ignored feelings and insecurity. You want desperately to embrace the real you, but don't know how to begin.

You love your child, but raising them is a different story. They are falling behind in school, they are sneaking out, and they refuse to listen. There is chaos in the house and the arguments seem never ending. Respect is gone and the power struggle continues.
