About

I believe in the power of relationships, knowledge and self awareness to deliver positive change for you and your team.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, business coach and trainer, I worked in the creative, media and publishing. This is why I bring a unique approach to help business leaders and their teams with my one-to-one executive coaching and team development training.

I run a thriving private therapy practice working with individuals and couples providing them with relief from emotional pain, greater self-awareness and healthier relationships.

Editor to therapist & Coach

In the mid ‘90s I was part of the launch editorial team of Men’s Health Magazine. I helped build the title to become the world’s most successful men’s lifestyle brand.  At Men’s Health I was fascinated by the psychology of group dynamics - the combination of power, communication and relationships that help teams fulfill their potential.

In the early ‘00s after a painful relationship end, I re-trained as a psychotherapist. I worked for the NHS before setting up a thriving therapy practice.

In 2017 I moved to New York City, where I coached entrepreneurs, business leaders and their teams helping them with leadership skills, creativity, communication, confidence building and how to managing change. In 2021 I moved my practice to Paris, France, to develop my business in the luxury and culture sectors. I run individual, group and team training around the world both remotely and in person.

Teaching

In 2010 I was a founding faculty member of The School of Life in London, the unique training and publishing organization that develops emotional intelligence for people, businesses and organizations.

At The School of Life I helped create and deliver new classes, led workshops for local and international audiences and worked with business clients including Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Publicis, PA Consulting and American Express.

My stories on developing emotional health, well being and personal development have appeared in the Saturday Telegraph Magazine, ST Men Magazine, Telegraph Luxury, Centurion, The Guardian, Departures (American Express), The Financial Times, Saturday Times Magazine, Elle Deco and The Observer Magazine.

Writing and Training

I write on emotional health for men in the New York Observer here and a column on coaching advice for men at MR PORTER.

I was awarded Distinction in my Masters and 1st Class Honors in my BA from Queen Mary College, London University. I have post-graduate qualifications in journalism - London College of Communication UAL, couples psychotherapy and psychoanalytic studies - Tavistock Clinic NHS Trust. I am an Associate of the Royal Schools of Music (ARSM).

I’m a qualified negotiations expert with the Schranner Institute, the world’s leading negotiation and conflict resolution organization.

I live and work in Paris, France.
