Empowering Transformation

I am an organisational psychologist, executive coach, psychodynamic psychotherapist, and addiction and recovery specialist.

I help make it safe for people to be themselves - so they and those around them can enjoy more successful relationships and more meaningful, productive and fulfilling lives.

I have a background in investment banking, focused on corporate finance and mergers & acquisitions, followed by senior leadership roles in major global businesses. As a result, in the clinical space I am uniquely well placed to understand the enormous stress and pressures of high performance environments like finance, law and consulting.

My clients have included senior investment bankers at global banks, managing partners of international law firms and accountancy practices and their leadership teams, C-suite level executives and divisional CEOs in industrial companies, high growth start up founders, and charitable CEOs.

You can find me on LinkedIn here or familiarise yourself with my training and experience below.
