About
Most of my clients are high performers who have tried everything. I'm the last stop.

Certified NLP Coach

​
​
I hold an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, and I'm a certified NLP Practitioner, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and EFT Practitioner. I've spent years combining these disciplines into a single methodology that works at the level most approaches never reach: the subconscious mind.
My clients include executives, entrepreneurs, and high-achieving professionals who are succeeding by every external measure — and still feel like something fundamental is in the way. They've done therapy. They've done coaching. They've done the inner work. And they keep arriving back at the same ceiling.
I know that ceiling well. I built it myself.
​
For nearly a decade, I worked in tech and project management — high-achieving, high-pressure, always on. I tied my worth entirely to my performance. Crazy hours. Less than 5 hours of sleep. Zero boundaries. I thought that was just what success looked like.
​
Then, on holiday of all places, I had a massive panic attack. It was terrifying. And it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Not because it was easy — but because it forced me to face something I'd been ignoring: no amount of hustle or willpower was going to fix what was going on beneath the surface.
​
I changed everything. I went back to study, earned my Master's in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, and became a certified NLP coach, EFT practitioner, and clinical hypnotherapist. Not just to add letters after my name — but because I needed tools that actually worked. Tools that went deeper than just thinking positive.
​
What I've learned — and what I now help my clients with — is that lasting change doesn't happen at the surface level. You can't willpower your way out of a pattern your subconscious has been running for years. Real transformation starts from the inside out: rewiring the stories beneath the surface, releasing the emotions keeping you stuck, and building the conscious habits that make it stick.
​
I work with driven, self-aware professionals who are a little tired of trying things that work for a week and then fade. People who know something needs to shift — they just haven't found the right approach yet. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
My training & approach
My work combines evidence-based positive psychology, NLP, EFT, and clinical hypnotherapy — not as separate tools, but as a layered system designed to create change at every level: subconscious, emotional, and conscious.
Positive Psychology
The science of wellbeing, resilience, and what makes life meaningful. The foundation of everything I do — grounded in peer-reviewed research and decades of clinical application.
Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)
A set of powerful techniques for rewiring how your brain processes experience, language, and belief. Particularly effective for breaking patterns that haven't responded to other approaches.
EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique
A clinically supported method for releasing stored emotional stress from the body and nervous system. Works at the level of the nervous system — not just the thinking mind.
Hypnotherapy
Guided access to the subconscious mind — where the deepest patterns and beliefs live, and where lasting change begins. Evidence-based, safe, and transformative.
