I was an NHS hospital doctor and GP for over 20 years. I burnt out. I learnt a lot of lessons the hard way. I was very lucky - a colleague who was a psychotherapist saw what was happening and supported me through the process of recognising why I was burning out, and in changing how I worked. 

​

I understand the relentless pressure of working in the NHS, the moral injury of not being able to do the job you want to for patients, and the never-ending needs and demands. I know the constant anxiety about what might have been missed. I know what it is like to not be able to go home, to miss family occasions, meals, school pickups, and time to recharge. 

​

I also know how hard it can be to find support as a health professional - the difficulty of finding someone independent who doesn't know you and your colleagues professionally, or who isn't already seeing your patients. 

​

I offer a confidential counselling and psychotherapy service for doctors and other health professionals that understands what you need, and which is separate from the NHS. You are welcome to have as many or as few sessions as you need, in a way that fits your rota and availability. 

​

I hope you will contact me so that we can discuss what you need and how I can help.
