therapy for High-Pressure Lives

At Thinking Hour, what sets me apart is the unique combination of professional expertise, psychodynamic depth, and lived experience across demanding, high-pressure environments.

​

​The Best of Both Worlds

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent years in the fast-paced world of finance, where performance, resilience, and high-stakes decisions were part of everyday life. These experiences give me an insider’s understanding of what it feels like to navigate ambition, pressure, and responsibility.

​

More Than Therapy

I don’t just bring theory to the room - I bring empathy grounded in lived experience. I understand the tension between external success and internal struggle, and the courage it takes to both perform and pause. This perspective allows me to meet clients exactly where they are, whether they’re wrestling with stress, burnout, self-doubt, or the deeper questions of identity and meaning.

​

​The executives and professionals I work with often describe our sessions as a rare space where they can think strategically about their own lives with the same rigor they apply to their work. It's a place to examine the patterns that drive both success and suffering, to build genuine self-awareness, and to develop the emotional intelligence that separates good leaders from exceptional ones.

A strategic investment in Sustainable Performance

The most successful professionals in Canary Wharf and the City understand that peak performance isn't about working harder—it's about working smarter, with greater self-awareness and emotional regulation. The work we do together is an investment in your long-term capacity to lead, decide, and perform under pressure.

​

Sessions are structured to fit your schedule, with early morning and lunchtime slots available. Many clients find that a weekly 50-minute session provides the consistency needed to build momentum, while others prefer shorter 30 min sessions as part of ongoing professional development.
