My Story
Setting up my own business was a dream come true. Having started out working in the trenches as an NHS mental health specialist, building my private practice as a therapist and coach was like nurturing a child. I grafted during my lunch break, hustled outside of work hours and packed my calendar full of appointments in between my day job until finally the day came when I could say that I’d made it - earning more money than I ever had and supporting myself entirely independently fuelled by my creation.
And then it came flooding in: the anxiety, the overwhelm and the burnout from feeling like I needed to be everything to everyone all at once. Always switched on and never taking my eye off the ball.
But it didn’t break me, it informed me.
And so now that’s where my work is - specialising in supporting other individuals and teams to run the show whilst not letting it run their lives.
What’s more, I have the clinical expertise to bolster my own personal experiences and, over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked as a Mental Health Specialist, Occupational Therapist and Psychotherapist with people from all walks of life. In fact I started out my career working in frontline psychiatric services in the UK and Bangladesh, so when it comes to wellbeing I’ve seen it all.
From suicide prevention to staff wellbeing, I’ve worked with individuals and teams - within the NHS to the education sector, charities advocating for women’s rights in Thailand or campaigning around climate change in France to those tackling knife crime on the streets of Colombia - helping them to make themselves and their organisations more mentally healthy and as future proof as possible.
When you choose to work with me you won’t receive a one-size-fits-all approach that makes mental wellbeing feel like a tick box exercise. Instead, you’ll receive something human-centred and bespoke, designed specifically for you - because, quite frankly, you’re great and the world needs to see that!
