You may have arrived here because something is not quite right — and you already know it. Perhaps you have been coping well on the outside while feeling exhausted, anxious, or stuck on the inside. Perhaps something significant has shifted in your life and you are finding it harder than you expected to move through it. Perhaps there is a pattern you keep returning to, and you have tried to change it more than once. Whatever has brought you here, the starting point is the same: something in how you are living, feeling, or making sense of your experience needs to shift — and you want real help to make that happen. That is exactly what this practice is for.

The work I offer integrates psychotherapy, clinical hypnosis, and coaching into a single, coherent process. This means I can work with you at the level of the body and nervous system, the patterns and beliefs that have formed over time, and the decisions and direction you want to move toward — without needing to send you to three different practitioners for what are, in practice, the same problem. The approach is tailored to you specifically: to what you bring, what you need, and what will actually work.

The curiosity that shaped this practice came first. For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to questions about how the mind works — how adults develop, how people change, and what makes genuine transformation possible rather than merely wished for. That curiosity led me, early on, to a postgraduate year in psychology — and quickly convinced me that what I was looking for was not in the academy. The frameworks I encountered felt fixed: descriptive of the mind as it is, not dynamic enough to account for how it actually changes. I wanted something more alive.

Over thirty years working inside complex multinational organisations — first in technology, then in leadership and executive coaching — I have seen at close range what those environments ask of people, and what they cost. I built a practice at the intersection of organisational life and the psychology of change, specialising in leadership development, digital transformation, and product management — working with leaders navigating complexity that is as much psychological as it is structural.

The thinkers who shaped my understanding most — Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey on how adults transform their meaning-making; Joscha Bach on the cognitive architecture of consciousness — pointed toward the same conclusion: the mind is not a fixed system. It is a developing one. And the question that matters is not what someone thinks, but how they think — and whether that can change.

I was also, at points, one of the people I was supporting. I know this terrain from the inside.

The Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy at the Institute of Applied Psychology was not a pivot. It was an arrival — the clinical method that years of parallel research and practice had been pointing toward. Metanoia is where all of it converges.
