About My Clients

Are you trapped in perfectionism where your self-worth is tied to your output? Do you experience intense performance anxiety, mental blocks, or imposter syndrome when stakes are highest? You don't have to white-knuckle it alone. Together, we will use efficient tools like Brainspotting to process stress and clear performance blocks. I offer a structured, collaborative space to help you reclaim your ease.

My Background and Approach

Before becoming a therapist, I studied at the University of Cambridge; wrote for The Sunday Telegraph newspaper; and managed a No.1-ranked female tennis player. These experiences, together with a corporate job in business development, have given me firsthand insight into high-pressure environments and external expectations. My approach is systemic and holistic. I have extensive experience helping clients break free from perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and chronic stress. To get to the root of performance blocks efficiently, we use tools like Brainspotting, in which I am certified, to access the emotional part of your brain. I work well with clients who have plenty of talk-therapy experience but need a deeper, body-oriented shift. We will go at your pace. I work evenings/late nights. I am a Trauma-Informed Care Practitioner trained in somatic experiential therapy and recovery coaching, and I am an Associate Sex Addiction Therapist (ASAT).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am British-American and have lived in five countries across three continents. From a young age, I became obsessive about performance and achievement. It was only through therapy that I developed a much healthier relationship with it, retaining the joy while putting down the stress. I always seek to understand people in the context of their environments, cultures, faith (or absence thereof), and family backgrounds. I believe therapy is one of several actions that promote positive change. Perhaps more than anything, I believe we learn through experience rather than from being told what to do. As well as my training, I try to lead with my heart. My hobbies include playing pickleball, travel, meditation, cooking, baking, volunteering, and watching sports.
