High quality therapy for founders, entrepreneurs and leaders in high pressure environments

Burn bright without burning out

 

I offer private, high-quality therapy for founders, entrepreneurs and senior leaders who want to understand what is going on in their relationships, patterns, identity, emotions, ambitions and the ways their working life may be affecting the rest of their life.

 

There are no performance targets, productivity hacks or prescribed five-step plans.

 

A confidential space to think

 

When you’re used to making decisions, solving problems and being the person with the answers, it can be difficult to find somewhere you don’t have to do any of those things. This is that space. 

 

A place where you can say the thing you probably wouldn’t say to your colleagues.

 

Where you can explore the relationship that is troubling you, the decision you can’t make, the anxiety you can’t quite explain, or the version of yourself you’re becoming.

 

And where we can look beyond the immediate problem to understand the patterns underneath it.

 

 

Why work with me?

 

I’m a qualified therapist, business psychologist and coach. I’ve been there. I ran my own PR and marketing company for fifteen years, and specialise in working with people in demanding professional environments.

 

I understand the particular pressures that can come with being ambitious, visible, responsible for other people and, above all,  expected to keep going.

 

Executive therapy

 

This is therapy for people whose working lives carry significant responsibility. It recognises that your work and your personal life aren’t separate compartments.

The way you lead, the way you relate to people, the decisions you make and the way you experience yourself are all connected. Sometimes changing what happens at work starts with understanding what is happening within you.

 

Who I work with

 

People who:

 

…are successful but privately struggling

…may be carrying a lot of responsibility

…often deal with pressure, anxiety or overwhelm

…are navigating a significant change or transition

…perhaps struggle with relationships alongside demanding work

…feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but can’t seem to change

…are questioning what they actually want from the next stage of their life

…want therapy that is thoughtful, challenging and psychologically informed

 

You don’t have to be in crisis to come to therapy. Sometimes you simply know that something needs to change.

 

Practical details

 

I see people online and in Folkestone. Early morning and Saturday appointments available. Sessions are £160 for an hour-long session. 

 

You don’t have to keep carrying everything on your own. Sometimes the most useful thing a successful person can do is stop, put everything down for a while, and think.

 

 

Ready to talk?

 

No pitch, no funnel, no faff. Just a conversation to see if this is the right fit.
