No one ever drops in on a therapist or coach to have a chat. They are usually struggling, troubled or stuck. Life is not going their way and they'd like some help and support.

I'm a retired solicitor now offering both psychotherapy and therapeutic coaching, accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a member of the Association for Coaching. I work with adults, young people (15+) and couples, providing both traditional therapy and solution-focused coaching approaches depending on your needs. 

Prior to my therapy and coaching career, I was a partner in a major London legal practice. I set up the firm and managed a staff of over thirty employees. I was an expert in family, child protection and mental health law.

I advised clients going through the worst of times, giving me unique insights into human challenges and resilience. With decades of experience in both law and therapy, I bring an unusually broad perspective to challenging life issues. My years handling complex family, mental health, and child protection cases have given me extensive exposure to crisis situations and human difficulties that most therapists don't encounter. This extensive experience means I can offer a balanced perspective whether you're seeking therapeutic support or focused coaching to achieve your goals.

With my background running a large legal firm, I bring many years of experience in corporate environments into my practice, making me particularly well-placed to support professionals through both personal and career challenges.

Rather than focusing on a medical model of treating 'symptoms', I take a more holistic, evidence-based approach, asking not "What's wrong with you?" but rather "What has happened to you, and what do you need right now?" Through both therapy and coaching, we'll work together to understand how past experiences have shaped your current patterns of thinking and behaviour. Drawing on modern neuroscience, I'll help you identify how these patterns may have served you in the past but might now be limiting your potential.

Working together, we'll explore ingrained responses, understand their origins, and harness your brain's natural capacity for change (neuroplasticity) to develop new perspectives and behaviours that better serve your needs. Whether you feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or simply want to unlock your potential, I can help you build practical strategies for growth through therapy, coaching, or an integration of both.

If you find yourself turning to external solutions - whether through substances, compulsive behaviors, or endless scrolling - know that these symptoms often point to deeper questions awaiting your attention. Together, we can explore what lies beneath these patterns, helping you develop not just better coping strategies, but a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.
