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
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.
