Who am I, and what is
Spectrum Sublime
Psychology & Psychotherapy?
Manchester Square, W1
Psychotherapist, Lawyer, Doctoral Researcher
Having worked in law for many years, alongside my psychological and psychotherapeutic training, I bring to my practice an acute awareness of the very real need to make relational psychotherapy accessible to people who cannot simply step away from the pace and pressures of their lives. Many of the individuals I work with carry significant responsibility for others — families, teams, businesses — and feel they cannot afford to slow down, even when their wellbeing demands it.
Yet without the space to pause, reflect, and reset, the risks multiply: health deteriorates, relationships become strained, and strategic decision-making falters. My practice is designed to offer that necessary pause in a way that appreciates the realities of high-responsibility roles, bridging psychotherapeutic insight and an implicit understanding of the legal, financial, and intergenerational contexts my clients navigate every day.

Regaining clarity in the midst of pressure.
My doctoral research explores recovery from extreme psychological distress through the lens of relational dynamics. Rather than viewing distress as a problem within an individual, I examine how patterns of connection, disconnection, and support within families, organisations, and communities impact individual experience. Informed by systems theory, I look at the interactions and feedback loops that sustain either wellbeing or breakdown — and at how small shifts in relationships can open space for resilience and change, always with a focus on individual agency.
This research influences my clinical work at depth, bridging leadership and psychotherapy. In both contexts, sustainable growth comes not from isolated fixes but from understanding the system and taking action accordingly. Grounded in clinical and commercial experience, as well as evidence-based psychological and psychotherapeutic research, I can focus with you on the shifts that matter most, understanding the motivations behind behaviours, and co-creating a pathway out of the immediate storm toward lasting clarity and resilience.
Who I Work With
People who are used to carrying responsibility and making things happen — executives, entrepreneurs, professionals, and those managing complex family, corporate, or financial demands. Many are new to therapy and not accustomed to needing help.
Most don’t come because they’ve “broken down.” They come because the strategies that built their success — focus, control, relentless effort — now feel unsustainable. What once worked well is delivering diminishing returns: exhaustion instead of clarity, restlessness instead of satisfaction. Colleagues start noticing the misses more than the many wins. Sometimes a GP has raised concerns.
These are not people in crisis, but they may be approaching a tipping point — and, as with every other strategic decision that underpins their success, they choose to engage the right professional at the right time.
The real question isn’t “Can I cope?” — you’ve already proved you can. It’s: “How long can I keep this up, and what will it cost me?”
Our work is a confidential, performance-free zone. No need to impress, defend, or explain. Instead, you have space to think strategically about yourself — with someone who understands high-pressure environments and the psychology of responsibility. The aim isn’t to dismantle what you’ve built, but to equip you with the facts and options to keep going in a way that is sustainable, effective, and on your terms.
