Psychologist and Coach
A demanding career can bring its own challenges to psychological and physical health, relationships and performance.
When professionals working in high-pressure environments seek psychological therapy or coaching, they need someone who understands their world, their ambition and the complex relationship between success, wellbeing and sustainable performance.
I have spent many years working with professionals in demanding careers, developing a particular reputation within the legal and financial sectors. London remains the base of my practice, where I work in person with clients in the City, alongside an increasingly international practice working with professionals in the Emirates, Riyadh, Singapore, New Zealand and beyond.
My work combines extensive psychological experience with a deep understanding of the environments in which ambitious professionals operate. Whether the focus is psychological health, relationships, confidence, leadership or performance, my aim is to help clients understand what is driving current patterns and create meaningful, lasting change.
The work is thoughtful, psychologically rigorous and appropriately challenging with an approach shaped around the individual rather than a predetermined formula.

Law and finance in The City of London are strictly regulated, an environment where professionalism, exceptional standards and confidentiality are service qualifiers. You have high expectations of your fellow professionals and should expect the same from your psychologist and coach. I am accredited by the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), a member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and an Associate Fellow (AFBPsS) of British Psychological Society (BPS). I’m a Chartered Coaching Psychologist.
I am also a Leader Factor accredited Psychological Safety Coach and Trainer.

Your world is complex and ever changing, with new developments requiring your constant focus to remain one of your profession’s elite. To maintain my knowledge and thought leadership, I have been involved in research for 20 years, making significant contributions to psychological research and publishing numerous scientific, peer-reviewed research articles. I have presented my research at international conferences and written papers across a wide array of subjects. I serve on the editorial board of the Journal of Health Psychology, peer reviewing the latest research of my academic and professional contemporaries.

Mastering a profession and establishing your personal brand as one of the high performing elite in your field requires investment in staying not just abreast of, but ahead of the trend. To inform my practice, I am actively involved in research, peer reviews, writing and interviews with the general media. As well as presenting work at international conferences, I write books and articles, including a best-selling book on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
