I completed my nursing degree at Birmingham university, which sparked my interest in mental health. I wanted to help those suffering from mental health crises and I decided at this early stage that this was my vocation in life.

I started my career in mental health by training as a mental health nurse. I completed my nursing degree specialising in mental health (RMN – Registered Mental Health Nurse), which gave me the clinical grounding and frontline experience I needed to understand the full picture of psychological care.

I next trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy, which is a powerful, evidence-based treatment originally developed to help people process trauma.

It works by helping the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel emotionally overwhelming. During EMDR, I use specific techniques like guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, while my client recalls difficult experiences.

It sounds unusual, but the science behind it is strong. It helps to "unstick" trauma that's been locked in the nervous system, allowing the brain to file it away properly so healing can happen.

EMDR is particularly effective for PTSD, anxiety, and complex trauma, but I also use it with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by patterns they can’t quite shift. It’s one of the most transformative tools in my toolkit.

I have worked as a Senior Psychotherapist at The Priory Group, one of the UK’s leading providers of mental health and behavioural care for 0ver 15 years on and off. I have supported clients struggling with everything from depression and anxiety to trauma, addiction, and complex emotional issues.

It was high-pressure and deeply rewarding. I worked with individuals at breaking point, some in crisis, some in recovery, all of them looking for a way forward. My role involved delivering one-to-one therapy, group work, and developing personalised treatment plans, often as part of a wider multi-disciplinary team that included psychiatrists, nurses, and other specialists.

The Priory gave me the chance to work in depth with clients in a clinical setting, but also to lead mentoring junior therapists, shaping care programmes, and contributing to the wider culture of excellence in patient care. This experience really sharpened my clinical thinking and showed me just how transformational the right therapeutic support can be.

I first stepped into the TV and media world almost 20 years ago, working behind the scenes as an on-set psychotherapist on shows like The Trisha Goddard Show and The (now infamous) Jeremy Kyle Show.

At the time, it was a new kind of challenge. Taking my clinical skills into the world of television, supporting guests who were often in emotional distress and dealing with highly sensitive issues under intense public scrutiny. My job was to make sure they were psychologically safe both before and after filming, and to provide professional support in a fast-paced, often chaotic environment.

That experience taught me a lot about human behaviour in high-stakes situations—and how to cut through the noise to help people feel seen, grounded, and supported. It also opened the door to a broader media career, where I’ve continued to work on- and off-camera as a psychotherapist, expert contributor, and mindset coach across various productions.

I have worked as the on set psychologist, or psyche as we call it, on over 70 shows including, Big Brother, Ambulance, Made in Chelsea, TOWIE, Jordi Shore, First Dates, Survivor, Embarrassing Bodies, My Super Sweet, RuPaul's Drag Race, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, The Hotel Inspector, Master Chef, Pride of Britain Awards and The Invictus Games.

After years of working in clinical settings, high-pressure TV and filming environments, and mental health providers like The Priory, I naturally found myself becoming the go-to therapist for people in the public eye. The combination of my therapeutic training and media experience meant I understood both the emotional intensity of fame and the psychological cost of visibility - something not every therapist is equipped to handle, however experienced they are.

Becoming a celebrity psychotherapist and mindset coach wasn’t a career pivot, I’ve realised it was my true vocation. I saw first-hand how people in the spotlight often carry huge pressure - scrutiny, expectation, criticism - and how isolating this can be. Behind all the fame and adulation, celebrities are still human beings like you and I. They deal with anxiety, imposter syndrome, burnout, and unresolved trauma, often with nowhere safe , trusted or confidential to offload.

My role is to create that safe space. I work with high-profile clients to help them build emotional resilience, inner confidence, and a grounded mindset that can weather the demands of public life. It’s about staying centred when everything around you is performative, and doing the deep internal work that keeps you sane, strong, and authentic, both on and off the set or stage.
