When what’s worked before stops working, let’s grow.
I partner with people and teams navigating change to offer systemic therapy, coaching and facilitation for individuals, leaders, couples and groups under pressure.
It might be a big challenge, or just an underlying sense that something isn’t quite right. A recurring pattern, or a wish to simply live more of your full potential.
Sometimes these cracks (through which the light gets in!) show up:
In relationships where you want to go deeper, tackle repeating issues or repair rupture.
As a man or father carrying responsibility, pressure, compulsive behaviours or frustration.
At work or in leadership through conflicts, culture or performance.
In our minds and bodies as challenging chronic symptoms or when just talking isn’t enough.
It doesn’t have to be a crisis. If there’s something that you don’t want to ignore anymore, let’s turn towards it to learn and grow.
As Gabor Mate says, "safety is not the absence of threat, it is the presence of connection".
How I Work
I’ll work with you to discover what sits underneath.
The patterns in how you think, feel and relate as an individual or as a group; and how these show up in your work, your relationships and your body.
Most of what we struggle with made sense at some point; ways of succeeding, coping, or getting through. But over time, those patterns start to limit us.
Working with me, we won’t rush to fix or label things. We’ll take time to try to understand what’s actually happening and discover possible new ways ahead from there. I’m anti-oppressive and LGBTQ+ affirmative.
BESPOKE
Strengths-based: not ‘off-the-shelf’ but building on what works for you.
RELATIONAL
Complexity-informed: rooted in the science of how change happens.
RESPONSIVE
Disturbances as doorways: find subtle wisdom in conflicts and struggles.
About Me
I started out as a theatre director, exploring how our ways of seeing and the stories we tell shape our experiences of the world.
Since then, I’ve worked across community development, leadership and social change. Alongside this, I’m training as a psychotherapist.
What links it all is a simple belief: that what happens beneath the surface shapes far more than we tend to admit, and that paying more attention to this can change how we live and work.
I’ve worked with global human rights defenders and local community builders. Senior leaders from across sectors and everyday folks navigating ill health. Mission driven social innovators and young kids from conflict zones.
From them all I’ve learned that “we resolve outer problems sustainably only if they are resolved internally as well” - Arnie Mindell.
Working Together
I’m based in East London and offer sessions online and in person.
If you’re curious, you’re welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation.
No pressure, just a chance to see if working with me feels like a good fit for you.
