Understanding

I have a particular understanding of life lived in the public eye, and of the worlds of music, media, sport and the arts. Many of the people I work with come from these fields — musicians and performers, senior figures in media and advertising, and professional athletes, including footballers and Olympians. I know the pressures that come with visibility, performance, and being expected to cope while everyone assumes you're fine.

​

My understanding of these worlds is personal as well as professional. I have lived closely alongside the music industry for many years and know it from the inside — the reality of touring and life on the road, the politics of backstage at the world's biggest venues, and the unglamorous business behind the scenes: the schedules, the finances, the relentless day-to-day of sustaining a career. I understand what it asks of the person in the spotlight, and of everyone around them.

​

One-to-one therapy

I work with performers and high-profile professionals who feel stuck, depleted, or unable to admit how they're really doing — often while maintaining the appearance that all is well. Therapy offers a confidential, grounded space where none of it has to be explained or performed, and where the person behind the public role can be properly understood.

​

Support for families

The pressures of this world are rarely carried by one person alone. I work with partners and children navigating absence, relocation, and the challenge of building a stable life around an unpredictable one — helping families stay connected and resourced through the demands of a public-facing career.

​

Working with bands, artists and their teams

Drawing on my experience of group supervision and of working with families and wider systems, I also offer support to bands, artists and the teams and crew around them. Touring and high-pressure creative work place real strain on the people who hold it all together, and on the relationships between them. Whether that's helping a team communicate and look after one another, supporting wellbeing on the road, or being a steady, independent presence to turn to, I welcome enquiries about consultancy and group work tailored to what you need.

​

Discretion

I understand how much confidentiality matters when your work is public-facing, and I hold it with the utmost care. Discretion is central to how I work with everyone, and especially with those who live or work in the public eye.

If any of this speaks to you, you're warmly welcome to get in touch for a confidential conversation.
