I’ve always been fascinated by the connections that shape our lives – between people and the environment, between the brain and the body, and between our thoughts, emotions and behaviour.
My background is in environmental science, followed by many years teaching Biology and Psychology. Throughout my career I’ve been fascinated by living systems – from ecosystems to the human body, and from there to the remarkable connections between our nervous system, emotions and behaviour.
I became increasingly interested in something else: why knowing what to do isn’t always enough to help us change – and why changing the emotions around an event can make such a difference.
That curiosity led me to train in a range of therapeutic approaches that work with both the mind and the body. Rather than following one fixed model, I combine the approaches that are most likely to help the individual sitting in front of me.
Today, I help people calm their nervous system, think more clearly and create lasting change. My aim isn’t simply to help you feel better during our sessions, but to give you practical tools and understanding that you can continue using long after we’ve finished working together.
I believe change is possible for everyone. Sometimes all we need is someone who understands what we’re experiencing, can explain what’s happening, and can guide us towards a calmer, more confident way forward.
I’d love to help you do just that.

A Few More Things About Me
- I believe people are far more than a diagnosis. Every session is tailored to the individual.
- Rather than encouraging clients to stay with me long term, I strongly believe in giving people practical skills they can use for themselves.
- I found that, whatever issue clients presented with, anxiety was often a common factor. That led me to develop Rapid Anxiety Relief™, a straightforward and highly effective technique for clearing anxious feelings that people can also use for themselves.
- I work with clients online throughout the world and run face-to-face workshops.
- I live in the beautiful Channel Island of Jersey. Away from work, you’ll often find me sea swimming, walking, cycling or behind a camera.
