Professional Enquiries
Alongside my online therapy practice, I welcome selected professional enquiries connected to psychotherapy, emotional health, and clinical practice.
My work is psychodynamic and ISTDP-informed, with a particular interest in anxiety, shame, emotional avoidance, inner criticism, relational repetition, and the ways people protect themselves from feelings that also matter to them.
I am available for carefully chosen media, writing, training, consultation, and professional collaboration enquiries.
Media and expert commentary
I can provide clear, accessible comment on anxiety, therapy, relationships, emotional avoidance, shame, inner criticism, and the psychological patterns that often sit beneath everyday difficulties.
Clinical writing
I write about therapy, emotional life, anxiety, avoidance, repetition, and the experience of being human without reducing people to tips, hacks, or tidy little diagrams.

Please include your name, organisation if relevant, the nature of the enquiry, any deadline, and what you are hoping I may be able to contribute.
