Support in tough times
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 and now therapist-coach accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I'm recognised as an experienced professional for adults, young people (15+) and couples.
Prior to my therapy 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 and professionally, I've dealt with far more than your average therapist. My unique insights mean I won't judge you and nothing can unseat or shock me.
With my background running a large legal firm, I bring many years of experience in a corporate environment into my practice.
Whether you feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed or full of self doubt - even at rock bottom - I will help you find new ways of looking at your life, feel better about yourself and your situation and put aside any shame, blame, guilt or fears you have.
If you are 'self-medicating' with drink or drugs, shopping, food or exercise, doom-scrolling on social media, give me a call.
Working with me, you will become aware of your needs, learn new, effective tools of coping and connecting, improve your communication, build motivation and self-esteem, learn about setting boundaries and find new ways to nourish yourself and enrich your relationships with yourself and others.
And, it may seem like stating the obvious for my profession: I really care about your wellbeing and progress and am passionate about you feeling that your sessions are worthwhile and making a difference to you.
Free Initial Appointment
I'd love to hear from you and we can do that with a free introductory chat over coffee (or tea!) or by booking a full one hour's paid session. Check out my fees page here.
I can usually offer a brief introductory video or phone call or full session by Zoom within 7 days. Email me
A first meeting gives you the opportunity to decide if you think I'm the right professional for you or your young person because, however great my credentials, finding a therapist or coach who suits you and who you feel you can trust will make a huge difference to your comfort levels and the likelihood of successful outcomes.
My Approach
I'm not a proponent of the medical approach to wellbeing. I believe humans tend to develop coping strategies which some professionals call 'symptoms'. I aim to work with you holistically to help you feel less overwhelmed, calmer and more connected with whatever is important to you and replace unhelpful coping strategies with supportive ways of reacting or behaving.
Let me be your guide...
Whatever is causing your inner distress, no matter who you are or what challenges you're facing, you don't need to face it alone.
I work with a range of issues especially:
Relationship Therapy & Divorce Coaching
Break ups, breakdowns, betrayal, separation or divorce.
As a former family law specialist, I am confident and competent to guide you through rough times and navigate how to manage your relationships with significant others, ex-partner or any issues relating to children. I can deal with the most complex of cases. You'll be safe in my hands.
Transitions & Retirement Coaching
Career crossroads, identity issues, middle life and retirement, or any major change in your life.
Are you burnt out and dreading the future? Are you still feeling unsatisfied, lost or stuck, despite the changes you have made?
Having had a few close shaves with burn out myself, eventually leading to a significant change to my own path, you benefit from my life experience. I am also qualified to help illuminate what fears are keeping you stuck or blocked. I can mentor you with wise, client-led coaching to re-establish your self-esteem, confidence and sense of meaning and purpose.
Neurodivergency Coaching
Proudly neurodivergent myself, I believe therapy for neurodivergent folk needs to be empowering and strengths-based. If you are considering or waiting for an autism, ADHD or other ND assessment and would like to explore this with me, I can provide a neuro-affirming space for that inquiry and work with all age groups from 15+ to your 90s.
I also work with parents of neurodivergent children - who may be questioning their own neurology.
At its core, neurodivergency is about having a different kind of nervous system. There's nothing inherently wrong with that or you. I can help you navigate coping with the mismatch between your nervous system and a modern world that is not designed for your neurotype and thus enrich your quality of life.
Young People & Emerging Adults
I'm a mother of three teenagers, and I know how challenging and messy it is to raise children. I work with 15+ and offer support for those in higher education or at university who are no longer under their parents' careful gaze.
You’d be amazed how your young person will talk to me when they won’t communicate with you!
Interventions with young people are often short term and early intervention at a formative stage can be transformative.
Walk & Talk and Outdoor Therapy
I love being outdoors and in nature. For local folk, I also offer Walk & Talk or outdoor therapy subject to assessment as to its suitability.
For young people 25 and under, I offer a low cost walk and talk service - please ask me about this.
Feel free to send me an email via my contact page to help you decide if therapy or coaching is for you.
