Who I Work With

For young people aged 15+

You might be struggling with anxiety, low confidence, identity questions, or the feeling of being stuck between who others expect you to be and who you really are. You may not want more coping strategies; you want something to change at the root.

You don’t need to have the right words; you just need to be ready for something to shift.

For adults

You've done the talking therapy. You know your patterns. But somehow, the same stuff keeps coming back. I work with adults who are ready for something deeper; people exploring trauma, relationships, identity, family dynamics, or long-standing struggles that haven’t responded to insight alone.

Many of the adults I work with live internationally, often moving between places like London, Kuwait, or Singapore. They carry complex cultural values and a quiet wish for space that feels truly their own. Whether you live in one place or move between many, you are welcome here.

My Story and Why I Use IFS and Brainspotting

I’ve spent years building businesses and helping others grow, all while navigating my own identity, family system, and nervous system. What helped me most wasn’t surface change but learning how to get curious about the different parts of myself.

That’s what I now offer through Internal Family Systems (IFS), a model that sees you not as broken but made up of many parts, each with its own story and role. The overachiever, the anxious thinker, the helper, and the one who wants to disappear; they all belong, but not all need to be in charge.

I began training in IFS when I realised traditional therapy, while helpful, often couldn’t reach the places where people felt truly stuck, where I had felt stuck. After divorcing and recovering from a narcissistic relationship, I found that IFS offered something more than just coping. It helped me reconnect with my own internal leadership and begin to rebuild from the inside out.

When words aren’t enough, I integrate Brainspotting, a neurobiological method that uses where you look to access and release what’s stored in the body. It’s especially powerful when you feel numb, overwhelmed, or like insight alone isn’t enough to create real change.

I work this way because I’ve seen how life-changing it is when therapy finally reflects who you really are — not just the version you perform for the world.

The Rhythm Method

Growth does not happen in a straight line. It happens in rhythm.

My approach moves between two key states: challenge and safety. Sometimes we will lean into difficult material. Other times we will pause, reflect, and consolidate. This rhythm creates trust, resilience, and long-term change.

I call it the Rhythm Method because of its natural, responsive flow. It is especially effective with young people who resist being pushed and shut down when they feel misunderstood. This method helps you grow without losing your footing.

What Drew Me to IFS and Brainspotting

Working with horses taught me that healing happens in relationship, not through advice, but through real presence. Therapy, to me, should feel that honest. That human. IFS and Brainspotting allow for the kind of responsive, body-aware work that actually lands; the kind of therapy that doesn’t require you to explain everything to be understood.

The Navigate Collective

The Navigate Collective was born out of a simple truth from the young clients I currently work with: young people today are under pressure in every direction.

Many of my young clients were struggling, not just with anxiety or low mood, but with the deeper emotional weight that comes with exams, university decisions, family expectations, identity questions, and life planning. They felt unsure of themselves in a world that constantly judged what they looked like, how they performed, and whether they were "on track".

The group is for young people aged 15 to 23 who are tired of pretending they are fine when they are actually overwhelmed, and it’s not just them. It is a space where figuring things out is normal, not pathological.

Group members meet weekly during the academic year to build emotional awareness, self-trust, and connection. We use structured discussion, guided reflection, and informal mentoring. It is not therapy. But it is therapeutic.

You do not need to have it all together. You just need to want something different.
