Straight-Talking Therapy for Business Owners & Professionals
Therapy for Business Owners and Professionals
This isn’t a blip. It won’t get better by itself. And pushing through isn’t the solution. Not anymore. Now is the time for a different approach. This is therapy designed for Business Owners, Entrepreneurs & Professionals in demanding jobs.
Life looks great from the outside – a good career or successful business, a nice home, maybe a family. Everything you’ve worked hard to build. Except there’s one rather large problem – you’re not really enjoying any of it lately.
You’re used to being the strong one, the productive one, the one who carries it all, the one who just gets on with it. Recently though, the ways you’ve always relied on to help you cope just aren’t working anymore.
Life has become something you’re getting through, rather than something you’re enjoying. You’re starting to wonder what happened to the old you. Your brain never stops, you’re no longer present when you’re with loved ones, you’re feeling more anxious than you used to, and you keep wondering why no matter how hard you push, it never seems to be enough anymore. It’s exhausting, frustrating and no way to live.
You deserve to enjoy the life you’ve built.
- And it doesn't need to!
Business Therapy in Cheshire & Online
Get to the root of the problem, discover new ways to cope, and finally break free of unhelpful life-long patterns getting in your way.
Why Work with Me?
If you’re looking for someone who will lead the therapy, ask the difficult questions, challenge you when needed, and point out the patterns and blind spots you can’t see yourself… that’s me, hi!
We’ll go deep when we need to, but we won’t stay there longer than we need to. We’ll always be focused on helping you move forwards.
You’ll get honesty, common sense and expert guidance, all delivered with a healthy dose of laughter and the occasional swear word too.
You know what’s wrong, but not why.
You’ve probably already tried to solve this yourself through self-help books, podcasts or simply pushing through. The problem isn’t a lack of effort.
It’s hard to connect the dots when you’re living them. Together we’ll step back, connect the dots between your life experiences, how you’ve always coped, and the way you’re feeling today. It’s often the first time everything starts to make sense—and that’s where real change begins.
My diary is designed around busy professionals.
Choose the days/times every session that fit your availability (no fixed weekly slot requirement with me).
Choose from blocks of 12, 6 or 4 sessions.
Choose between weekly sessions, condensed sessions, or less frequent.
Choose between in-person Therapy in Cheshire (Middlewich) or Online Therapy from anywhere, or combine the two.
Every session should feel worthwhile. Whether it’s a practical strategy, a different perspective or something to try during the week, you’ll leave with tools you can start putting into practice straight away.
Expect to take notes every session, and to have work to do between session. This is active therapy.
My goal isn’t just to help you recover. It’s about making changes that stop you ending up back here again. Because this likely isn’t the first time you’ve struggled.
This isn’t about a quick fix. It’s about unpicking the ways you’ve always coped that have stopped working, and rebuilding a new way of operating. A version that is sustainable and allows you to keep moving forwards. Because what got you here won’t get you to where you want to go next.
And because you deserve to enjoy the life you’ve built.
Business Therapy
Most of the Business Owners, Entrepreneurs and Professionals I work with have two things in common – they overthink and they overdo. Over time, those habits have a way of showing up in lots of different ways.

Therapy FAQs
What are your qualifications, experience and accreditations?
I’m a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I have a post-graduate degree in CBT Therapy, which I completed in 2013. I had been working as a CBT Therapist full time since then. I am accredited with the BABCP. I have been working in therapy services since 2008. I worked in NHS funded IAPT services for 10 years including in senior leadership roles. I currently work as a clinical supervisor to other CBT therapists alongside my private practice.
How many therapy sessions will I need?
Typically, clients will come for between 6-20 private CBT sessions, depending on how much input they want or need. Some clients will come for a smaller number of sessions to gain self-insight and learn effective strategies and then continue implementing this by themselves. Others will choose to have weekly CBT Therapy for support until they have fully overcome their problem. I offer therapy in blocks of 4, 6 and 12.
What are your private therapy fees?
My private CBT costs can be found here.
When and where do you offer therapy sessions?
I’m a therapist with my own full time private therapy clinic in Cheshire (located in a discreet business centre in Middlewich). I also deliver Online Therapy via Zoom. I work Monday-Friday 10:00am – 6:00pm with therapy appointments between 10.30am and 5.30pm. You can book online here, appointments are available on a first come first served basis.
Is the service confidential and will you contact my GP?
Yes, the service is confidential. Information you share with me about your business or personal life will be held confidentially in line with the code of ethics of my profession. I will never share that you are a client of mine. We only contact other professionals such as GP’s if there is a concern about your or someone else’s safety. Otherwise, private therapy is confidential and is not recorded on your medical record.
