I'm a Clinical Hypnotherapist, MSc Neuroscience & Psychology of Mental Health student at King's College London, Army Veteran, and Programme Manager in my day job. Like many high-achieving professionals, I know what it's like to keep pushing through exhaustion — running on empty while everything looks fine on the outside. Now I combine my neuroscience training, clinical hypnotherapy practice, and lived experience of high-pressure environments to help ambitious professionals do one thing: actually recover.
My specialist focus is burnout and sleep regulation for high-achievers — the people who can't switch off, can't sleep, and have tried everything except getting to the root cause. Through Choose2Change, I work with professionals in corporate, NHS, legal, tech, and military environments who are ready to regulate their nervous system and reclaim their energy — without burning it all down first.
