I am a mental health and wellbeing consultant, coach, and counsellor supporting English-speaking expats, digital nomads, and SME business owners. I use cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), clinical hypnotherapy, and positive psychology to help people reduce stress, manage anxiety, and overcome personal or professional blocks so they can thrive in work and life abroad. I hold an MSc in Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, diplomas in Clinical and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, and certificates in Clinical Hypnosis and Positive Psychology. With nearly 20 years’ experience in private practice, both online and face-to-face, I have also worked in the NHS, private healthcare, occupational health, and for the Priory Hospital. I regularly deliver workshops, webinars, and talks on mental health and wellbeing for a wide range of businesses and professional audiences. I’m accredited with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), the National Hypnotherapy Society, the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH), and the Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists (ACCPH).
CBT, hypnotherapy, and positive psychology are goal-oriented and solution-focused approaches that work powerfully together. I take an active role in helping you move from where you are now to where you want to be. The main form of CBT I use is Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) — an effective method and a life philosophy that helps you change unhelpful thinking patterns — so you can respond to challenges with greater clarity and calm. Whether you’re managing the pressures of remote work, adapting to a new culture, or running a business from abroad, our work will focus on practical tools to build emotional resilience and confidence. My areas of expertise include stress, anxiety, burnout, anger management, self-esteem, and pain control. I work in both a counselling and coaching capacity, providing coping strategies when you need them, space to reflect when you don’t, and evidence-based tools to strengthen your wellbeing and performance.
Before becoming a therapist, I was a journalist, a background that taught me how to listen deeply and get to the heart of a story. I’m the author of How to Cope with Almost Anything with Hypnotherapy (Bloomsbury) and The Four Thoughts That F*ck You Up… and How to Fix Them (Penguin Random House), and I continue to write on all aspects of mental health and wellbeing. I recently relocated to France, so I understand first-hand the challenges of transition, change, and finding balance in a new environment. Outside of work, you’ll often find me walking through a forest or along a beach with my dog.
I am an English-speaking mental health and wellbeing consultant, coach, and counsellor with 20 years of experience, offering online sessions for adults worldwide: especially for expats, digital nomads, and small business owners seeking calm, clarity, and confidence wherever they are.
