No one ever drops in on a therapist or coach to have a chat. As one of the UK's few dual-qualified therapeutic specialists, I bring a unique perspective to complex personal challenges.
​
My decades in high-stakes professional environments, combined with lived experience as a neurodivergent person, allows me to understand both the external pressures and internal struggles that can feel overwhelming.
​
Whether you're navigating workplace challenges, relationship complexities, professional transitions, or exploring your neurodivergent identity, you'll find understanding that goes beyond traditional therapy approaches.
​
My therapeutic practice is informed by extensive real-world experience supporting people through their most challenging circumstances. Having spent decades in senior professional roles dealing with complex family dynamics, crisis situations, and high-pressure environments, I bring practical wisdom alongside therapeutic expertise. 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. 
​
I am a retired solicitor, formerly recognised as an expert in family, child protection, and mental health law. I was a member of both the Law Society’s Children Panel and Mental Health Panel - highly regarded accreditations that acknowledge exceptional expertise in these complex areas of practice.
​
As a proudly neurodivergent, BACP-accredited therapist, I understand both the professional and personal challenges that can arise when navigating a world not always designed for difference. 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 behaviours, 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.
