Therapy for the arts, sport and media.
Talk to someone who has the experience to know what it feels like.
Why me
Most therapists who work with performers have trained in the room and read about the industry. I spent a decade signed to Sony Records having hits and touring the world, coached in a Premier League academy, and sat in the dressing room with Liverpool FC Women. My training has helped me understand what goes on in elite performance, and I've been in practice for over 12 years.

About me
When you talk about the run-up to an audition, the week after a bad result, the silence when the phone stops ringing, or what it's like to be released — I already know the shape of it. So we can get straight to what's underneath.
I work with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, addiction, relationships, self-esteem and identity. I trained in Transactional Analysis, I'm a registered member of the BACP and BAPAM, and I've been in private practice for over twelve years.
Some of my clients are names you'd know. Some aren't. Some have nothing to do with performing at all, and that's fine too.
