Personal Experience
I like to test techniques on me, not just trust a text book that they work. Being a therapist & nurse does not make a person immune from health problems. I believe my previous mental health problems with depression, anxiety, burnout and PTSD help me now be a more understanding and compassionate therapist.

As an ultra-runner & former national gold medalist in Tae Kwon Do; I also enjoy helping folk with the unique challenges faced by elite sports competitors.

"I've found it so helpful, I've spoken to so many counsellors over the years and I've found your approach so relatable, the stories, and that's helped me learn the tools and apply the tools, and learn when to use them".

George (not his real name)
"I thank you lots for your help. It’s been some of the most impactful therapy I’ve ever done. It’s been highly meaningful to speak to someone who for the first time understands how I see the world. I recall you saying how you cheered me on in a certain situation I mentioned & this was the nicest thing anybody had said to me in ages (as an example). Best of luck with your 2025, and what you have in store for it (I recall you mentioning ultra running!!) What a fantastic impact you have on people in work, and no doubt…outside of work!
Kindest Wishes,
George".
