​An integrated approach to lasting change

My work draws on several evidence-informed disciplines, integrated according to what each client brings. The result is flexible and purposeful — not a pre-defined framework, but a rich approach that responds to you.

Integrative Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy provides the relational and clinical foundation of the work. Drawing on systemic, solution-focused, and person-centred frameworks, it creates the conditions in which clients can understand the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape how they think, feel, and relate to others — and begin to shift them. In practice, this looks like a carefully held conversation in which what has been hard to say or see becomes possible to work with.

Clinical Hypnosis

A research-supported therapeutic technique — distinct from entertainment hypnosis — that uses focused, relaxed attention to work with the mind at a level that conscious effort alone cannot always reach. In a session, you remain fully conscious and in control throughout; the experience is closer to deep absorption than anything dramatic. It is particularly effective for anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, and patterns that have proven resistant to change through talking alone.

Strategic Therapy

Developed through the Ericksonian tradition and the solution-oriented school of Bill O'Hanlon, strategic therapy is brief and future-focused. Rather than extended analysis of the past, sessions identify what is already working, build on existing strengths, and create practical pathways forward. In practice, it often feels less like therapy and more like rigorous, purposeful thinking-with — you leave with something concrete to take away.

Life & Leadership Coaching

Drawing on Adult Development theory — particularly the work of Kegan and Lahey on how adults transform their meaning-making — and eight years of full-time leadership and executive coaching practice, sessions support women in clarifying direction, navigating professional transitions, and making decisions that align with their values. In practice, this involves examining not just what to do, but the assumptions about yourself and your situation that are shaping your choices.

Who I Work With

Women at a turning point

The practice is primarily focused on women, though enquiries from men, couples, and families are considered. Sessions are online and available worldwide. Below are the areas I work with most. If you recognise yourself in more than one, that is not unusual — these difficulties rarely arrive alone.

 

Anxiety, burnout & chronic stress

Often high-functioning women who appear to be managing well externally while struggling privately with exhaustion, overwhelm, or a persistent low-level anxiety that will not resolve. The body is sending signals the mind has been overriding for too long.

Trauma & difficult past experiences

Women carrying the effects of past experiences — whether acute or cumulative — that continue to shape how they feel about themselves, their relationships, and their sense of safety. This includes both recognised trauma and the quieter, harder-to-name experiences that have left a lasting mark.

Life & career transitions

Women navigating significant change — in role, relationship, identity, or direction — who want to move through it with clarity rather than react from uncertainty. Transitions that look like opportunities on paper can still feel disorienting in practice.
