About me

Are you a Senior Leader, CEO, or Executive, feeling stressed, anxious and struggling to focus at work? Maybe you dread work, and perhaps you are off sick or feel close to burnout. Work-related stress and burnout are challenging, and can really impact performance, confidence and mental health. This can create a vicious cycle of mood and work performance difficulties, due to feeling 'not good enough', and feeling under pressure to put on a 'brave face'. It can feel isolating to experience this high pressure, especially if your peers do not discuss their struggles. Regardless of job role, we are human and at times we all need support.
I specialise in workplace wellbeing, and help you understand your current difficulties. We work together to develop a thorough psychological assessment and formulation (your story), to inform our work. Often, I will co-create stress management plans, or process previous work related trauma. Your individual needs are key - together we can make work better.
I offer you a safe space to discuss difficulties that you may not have shared before. I appreciate how difficult it can be to be vulnerable, but I will support you each step of the way. I like to get to know you first - making you feel comfortable is essential. Drop me an email today, as a signal to yourself that there is hope, and it will get better.
