About me

You’ve done the therapy and read the books. You can explain exactly why you get stuck, but in the moments that matter, nothing actually changes.

I work with high-performing professionals and creatives who feel out of control in their own systems. Especially those who over-give in relationships, only to end up feeling unsupported and exhausted.

I spent a decade in high-stakes marketing, advertising, and global partnerships. I know exactly what it’s like to maintain a high‑performance exterior while your body is starting to push back on the inside. I eventually realised I was overriding my own boundaries to the point of burnout. Now, I help ambitious professionals, founders, and practitioners restore their capacity to choose how they respond to their lives, rather than constantly overriding themselves just to keep functioning.

This work is relational, direct, and grounded in real-time experience. I don’t focus on fixing you. I focus on restoring your ability to respond, rather than override.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
IFS: Internal Family SystemsRecommended for those who want to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that might feel conflicted or overwhelmed.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Somatic ExperiencingRecommended for those who want to use the mind-body connection to address the effects of trauma and restore natural regulation of the nervous system.
Your body is faster than your brain. When you’re stressed, your system reacts before you can think. I work with both somatic tracking and IFS-informed parts work to shift that response.

In a session, we don’t just talk or analyse the past. We work in real-time to:

→ Map the Pattern
Notice where your system tightens, overrides, or disconnects

→ Interrupt the Loop
Catch the automatic response before it takes over

→ Restore Boundaries
Create a different response while you’re in the pattern, not after

→ Build Capacity
Increase your ability to stay present and regulated under pressure

Most people who come to this work have already tried therapy or coaching. The difference here is that we don’t just understand the problem; we change how your body responds while you’re in it.
