Therapy for Professionals in High-Pressure Professions

London based Consultant Clinical Psychologist providing confidential therapy for professionals and leaders to manage stress, prevent burnout and sustain performance

I specialise in working with professionals and leaders who carry high levels of responsibility, stress and expectation. On the surface, you may appear composed and capable. But privately, you may feel the strain: exhaustion, loss of focus, or the sense that you’re running on empty. Therapy offers a confidential space to step back, reflect, and restore your balance. It’s a place where you don’t have to perform — where you can think clearly, understand what’s driving you, and create sustainable change.

What You Might Be Experiencing

People I work with often describe:

  • Constant pressure or a sense of having to “hold it all together”

  • Difficulty switching off or sleeping

  • Perfectionism or self-criticism

  • Changes in motivation or confidence

  • Feeling emotionally flat, disconnected, or overwhelmed

Therapy helps you understand these patterns, find perspective, and develop healthier ways of coping.

How Therapy Can Help

People often come to therapy because they want to:

  • Understand patterns: exploring how past experiences and current demands interact to shape your responses.

  • Build awareness: identifying thoughts, emotions, and habits that may be adding to your stress.

  • Develop strategies: finding practical, evidence-based tools to manage pressure and support wellbeing.

  • Create sustainable change: helping you maintain balance and purpose over the long term, not just during a crisis.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you understand your mind, emotions, and patterns in a way that gives you more choice and control.

Who I Work With

I work with professionals across a wide range of fields, including:

  • Business and leadership roles

  • Law, finance, and consulting

  • Medicine and healthcare

  • Technology, creative industries, and academia

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support. Therapy can be a way to prevent burnout, make clearer decisions, and sustain performance over the long term.

How I Work

My approach combines evidence-based psychological methods with an understanding of the realities of demanding work and high levels of responsibility. Every person’s situation is different and together, we will focus on what matters most to you — whether that’s managing pressure, regaining energy, improving relationships, or reconnecting with meaning in your work and life. My therapeutic approach draws from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Schema Therapy (ST) integrating these as appropriate for each client.

Confidentiality and Professionalism

I understand how important discretion is, particularly for people in visible or high-responsibility positions. Sessions take place in a confidential setting in London, with online sessions also available for flexibility. Therapy is conducted in a professional, supportive, and non-judgemental environment where you can speak freely.
