How I got here

I came to this work from two directions: the psychology I studied and the workplaces I worked in. This page is about both.

My approach

Three things you can expect, whichever service you choose.

Clear agreements

Before we start, we agree what the work is, who is responsible for what, and when it ends. No open-ended commitments that run for years.

You lead

You're the expert on your own life, and you choose the direction. My job is to help you see clearly and move.

Confidential and ethical

What you tell me stays between us. I work to the ethics codes of my profession as a psychologist and a coach.
