Therapy and coaching for people who make, perform and compete.
When your work is a part of who you are.
Creative careers ask you to keep reinventing yourself, without losing yourself.
Whether you're an actor, musician, athlete, dancer or creative professional, therapy or coaching offers a place where you don't have to perform, produce or prove anything. The focus is simply on you.
The questions my clients bring into therapy are rarely about the work itself. They're about identity, relationships, purpose, belonging, and how to stay connected to themselves when so much of life is lived in the public eye, or in pursuit of the next opportunity.
Working with performers, athletes, dancers and musicians wasn't a pre-planned niche - it developed naturally over time as people from those worlds sought me out, drawn, I think, to the fact that my approach doesn't stop at the neck.
We feel heartbreak in our chest, butterflies in our stomach, or know something in our bones long before we can explain it. Yet most of us spend our lives trying to think our way through experiences that aren't primarily cognitive. In sessions, alongside talking, we might work with movement, nervous system responses, or what's showing up physically in the present moment. For people whose body is their instrument, livelihood or craft, staying in the head only gets you so far.
Creative work asks you to stay open, sensitive and emotionally available. Those qualities often make someone exceptional in their craft, but they can also make life feel more intense. Many of the people I work with are navigating the emotional rhythm of creative life: the intensity of performing, competing or creating, and the stillness that follows; the uncertainty of not knowing what comes next; the grief that can accompany success and the loss of the life you once knew; the emptiness that can arrive when you've reached the thing you worked so hard for only to find it doesn't feel the way you imagined; or the tension between the work that matters most to you and the work the industry asks of you.
Underneath many of these experiences lies the same question: Who am I when the role, the performance, the competition or the spotlight changes? Much of my work involves helping people reconnect with what matters most to them beyond achievement, recognition or external validation, so they can build a life that feels grounded in their values rather than defined by their profession.
My clients often describe me as warm, direct and genuinely human. While my work is grounded in psychological science, therapy with me isn't about analysing every thought or sitting in silence. It's about creating a space where you don't have to perform or prove anything. I'm interested in the person beneath the role: what matters to you, what's getting in the way, and how we can help you reconnect with a life that feels like your own. Some of the deepest work happens through honesty, humour, curiosity and moments that can't always be put into words.
Many of my clients arrive having tried therapy or coaching before. They've gained insight into their patterns but still feel stuck. They're often looking for something that goes beyond understanding why they feel the way they do, and helps them experience real change.
I'm also a specialist in ADHD, with lived experience. A significant proportion of the people I work with are neurodivergent, including many high-achieving creatives and professionals who've spent years being told they're "too much", "too intense" or "too inconsistent". My role isn't simply to help people cope with those differences, but to understand them, work with them and recognise the strengths they bring.
Discretion is fundamental to my work. Many of my clients value having a space that exists entirely outside their professional world, where they can speak openly without judgement or expectation. I'm bound by the HCPC and British Psychological Society's professional standards, hold full professional indemnity insurance, and am happy to sign non-disclosure agreements where required.
