The obligatory "About Me" page

Oh perfect, you've found the "About Me" page, where most therapists write about how they discovered their therapeutic calling while sipping chai in an ashram. 

Instead, what you've got is me: an ex-emergency services worker who discovered that helping people wrestle their anxiety into submission is much more fun than dealing with 999 calls. Plus, the snacks are better. 

I'm not your typical "and how does that make you feel?" therapist - but if your'e here, chances are you're looking for therapy that works. And that's what I do. 

How I accidentally became the therapist you didn't know you needed

I worked in emergency services, dealing with everything from domestic disasters to major incidents that would make your average meditation app burst into flames. Then came the perfect storm: one spectacularly awful boss (public sector speciality!), a few situations that would make Netflix writers say "bit unrealistic, mate," and boom - cPTSD entered the chat.

​

Spoiler alert: The public sector handles mental health about as well as a chocolate teapot handles hot water

​

After getting some proper help (private therapy, because sometimes you've got to invest in your own brain), I had this wild thought: "I could do this therapy thing, but make it actually useful."

​

So I did. Started with hypnotherapy, which was nice and all, but reading scripts at anxious people? About as useful as using a feather duster to clean up after a tornado. (Sorry, script collectors, maybe try Pokemon cards instead?)

How we'll sort this (because everyone loves a plan)

What makes this different?

  1. Not your standard "think happy thoughts" hypnotherapy. We're here to figure out why your brain's hosting Olympic-level anxiety gymnastics at 3AM.

  2. No generic scripts here. (Your anxiety didn't come from a template, so why should your therapy?)

  3. I use Provocative Change Works - think of it as that friend who loves you enough to call out your overthinking, but with proper therapeutic backing. (And yes, it actually works)

The important bits (or what you should probably know)

  • Yes, I have qualifications. They're very impressive and property framed and everything. Moving on. 

  • I don't work with everyone. If someone else forced you here, save us both time and go browse TikTok instead. 

  • You've got to do the work. This isn't Netflix - you can't just sit back and expect change to happen.

About that "emergency services" background (because you're wondering...)

Yes, I worked in the emergency services. No, I'm not gathering evidence.

Everything in therapy stays between us - pinky promise.

(Unless you tell me you're planning to become the next supervillain, harm yourself or someone else. Then we might need to have a different chat. Those are the rules, and they're actually there to protect you.)

The bottom line (because we've all got things to do)

I became a therapist because I've been through the mental health wringer and came out the other side with a questionable sense of humour and a toolkit that actually works. 

​

Still reading? Haven't clicked away in horror?
Excellent - we might just be a perfect match. 

P.S. If you're desperate to see my certificates and professional memberships, they do exist. They're very official. There's even a fancy seal on some of them. 

DEEP & MEANINGFUL MOMENT:

"Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action."
