Individual practice
Therapy is collaborative and paced to the person in the room. I work with adults, couples, and families on the difficulties that brought them here, drawing on approaches with a solid evidence base and adapting them to each person's circumstances.
Organisational consulting
With organisations, I focus on the conditions that shape wellbeing and performance: leadership under pressure, team conflict and mediation, psychological safety, and practical support for neurodivergent employees.
