ABOUT

---

I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist, EMCC-accredited coach, and organisational consultant, working with individuals, leaders, and organisations on resilience, regulation, sustainable performance, and integrative functional health approaches. 

My professional background combines clinical training, organisational psychology, and senior-level corporate experience, developed over an 18-year career in the financial sector.

Before training in psychology and consulting, I worked as a Managing Director at Morgan Stanley in London (2001–2019), where I held senior leadership and management responsibilities. This experience continues to inform my understanding of high-pressure environments, decision-making, and organisational dynamics.
