I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and former lawyer, working with clients since 2011, combining practical and therapeutic methods, depending on what best suits each client. I also work as a Family Law Mediator.

Previously, I was a lawyer for 17 years, a litigation partner with Pinsent Masons, before working in-house in Hong Kong. I then worked in Business Development at DLA Piper and Eversheds, coaching partners on how to win more work, before going self-employed, working with law and accountancy firms, hedge funders and banks.

As such, many of my clients are people who work in a professional service setting. But I also work with clients from all walks of life, aged 16-80, individuals and couples, children, and families.

I treat clients who arrive with problems relating to managing stress, depression, anxiety, all kinds of addiction, helping them to see how current behaviours can be linked to past experiences. The insights gained often free up the ‘log jam’, the sense of being stuck, restoring a sense of flow, more vitality.

Whatever is troubling you, I will have helped people with similar issues.

Coaching and training lawyers for 8 years at top firms was often akin to therapy. I have witnessed first-hand how rapidly someone can free themselves from defensive postures and regain enthusiasm, feel more fulfilled and confident.

I practise Hatha yoga, am a keen open water swimmer and relish life with my young daughter.
