High-Profile Client 

This approach is a good fit for public figures, founders, C‑suite leaders, elite creatives and athletes, political or media professionals, and anyone whose role or profile limits their privacy. Common themes include:

​

• Performance anxiety, stage fright or fear of public failure

• Burnout, jet lag cycles and over‑commitment

• Constant evaluation: social media exposure, headlines, stakeholder pressure

• Relationship strain and limited trust circles

• Imposter feelings despite achievements

• Recovery after a crisis, reputational event or legal stress

​

What to expect in a High‑Profile Client Care session

​

Before we meet: a private 30‑minute consultation

We begin with a free 30‑minute consultation to clarify your aims, confidentiality needs and logistics. We’ll discuss preferred communication channels, travel or scheduling constraints, and whether we meet in person in a discreet London location or via a secure, encrypted online platform. If you wish, we can also agree how to liaise (or not) with your PA, agent or chief of staff.

​

Discretion by design: privacy, data and logistics

Discretion is built into the way I work from first contact. This typically includes:

​

• Minimal, clinically necessary note‑keeping in secure, GDPR‑compliant systems

• Clear communication boundaries and a dedicated contact method

• Flexible session times to reduce visibility, subject to availability

• Direct scheduling with you or a named, trusted contact

• Options to discuss additional non‑disclosure terms alongside standard professional confidentiality

​

We will also cover the rare legal and safety exceptions to confidentiality (for example, if there is serious and imminent risk of harm). You remain in control of how and with whom information is shared.

​

Inside the session: mapping pressures and priorities

A High‑Profile Client Care session runs 60–75 minutes. We will:

​

• Map your immediate pressures (events, travel, media windows, board cycles)

• Identify triggers and protective patterns in your mind and body

• Clarify what needs to improve first (sleep, decision fatigue, anxiety spikes, relationship ruptures)

• Agree realistic goals and the conditions you need to maintain confidentiality and momentum

​

Immediate stabilisation toolkit

Most clients leave the first session with two to three personalised tools they can use straight away. Examples include:

​

• A brief breathing sequence to regulate before a high‑stakes moment

• A “spotlight plan” for the 24 hours before and after public exposure

• A boundary phrase bank to reduce ad‑hoc requests and interruptions

​

Techniques may draw from Anxiety Therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and grounding skills tailored to your context.

​

Your ongoing plan

Together, we design a plan that fits your world. Options include weekly or fortnightly Individual Therapy, short intensive blocks around key events, and collaborative work (with your consent) alongside other professionals. Where relationship dynamics are central, we may consider Couples Therapy. Longer‑standing patterns can be addressed through Schema Therapy, which explores the “autopilots” formed earlier in life that still drive present reactions. Many clients also find my book, The Child Behind Your Patterns, a helpful companion between sessions.

​

Approaches I draw from (and how they help)

​

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT offers practical strategies for the thinking and behavioural loops that fuel anxiety and avoidance. In high‑pressure roles, we often use targeted CBT to test beliefs such as “I cannot pause” or “One stumble will end everything”, rehearse coping ahead of events, and build confident, values‑aligned actions.

​

Schema Therapy

Schema Therapy goes deeper, working with longstanding patterns that show up under stress—such as over‑responsibility, perfectionism, people‑pleasing or detachment. By recognising and soothing the younger parts of us that learned these patterns, we create space for healthier boundaries and self‑leadership. If this resonates, my book, The Child Behind Your Patterns, explains this model in accessible, compassionate language.

​

Individual Therapy, Anxiety Therapy and when to include your partner

​

Individual Therapy provides an anchor for your nervous system and decision‑making. Focused Anxiety Therapy can help you stabilise quickly when adrenaline and scrutiny are high. If the pressure of profile is straining your home life, Couples Therapy can become a confidential space to align as a team, agree boundaries with the outside world, and communicate safely around public timelines.

​

Practical tools you can use today

​

The 60‑second reset

• Inhale gently through the nose for 4

• Hold for 2

• Exhale slowly for 6–8 (imagine fogging a mirror)

• Repeat for 60 seconds, shoulders soft, jaw unclenched

​

This lengthens your exhale, signalling safety to your nervous system before an interview, pitch or performance.

​

5‑4‑3‑2‑1 grounding

When your mind spirals, anchor into the room:

• 5 things you can see

• 4 things you can feel

• 3 things you can hear

• 2 things you can smell

• 1 thing you can taste

​

Pair with a slow exhale to reduce adrenaline.

​

Your “spotlight plan”: before, during and after

• Before: Block 15 minutes of quiet, practise your 60‑second reset, decide one sentence you’ll return to if you wobble.

• During: Keep a grounding cue in hand (smooth stone, cool glass). Micro‑pause between questions to exhale.

• After: Decompress for 20 minutes (walk, shower, stretch). Delay social media or debriefs until your heart rate settles.

​

Digital boundaries that protect your nervous system

• Mute or delegate online mentions during vulnerable windows

• Disable read receipts and typing indicators on private channels

• Create “availability windows” rather than perpetual access

• Keep a private device or email for health‑related communication

​

Sleep and travel micro‑recoveries

• On planes or cars: 10 minutes of non‑sleep deep rest (eyes closed, long exhale)

• After late finishes: warm shower + 15 minutes low light, no headlines

• Jet lag: anchor light exposure and meals to the destination time as early as feasible

​

These are not cures, but small, reliable deposits into your energy bank.

​

Discretion and safety: what confidentiality really means

Confidentiality is central to therapy. In the UK, therapists are professionally and ethically bound to protect your privacy and data. There are narrow exceptions—primarily where there is serious and imminent risk to you or someone else, or if required by law. We will agree what information is held, how it’s stored, and your preferences for contact and scheduling. If you would like to explore additional non‑disclosure terms, we can discuss what is appropriate and clinically safe.

​

If you are in immediate danger or considering harming yourself, please contact emergency services on 999 or attend your nearest A&E. For 24/7 confidential support in the UK, you can call Samaritans on 116 123. Therapy can be a vital part of your support, but it is not an emergency service.

​

Is this the right fit?

​

Consider a High‑Profile Client Care session if you recognise two or more of the following:

​

• Your role requires frequent public exposure or intense scrutiny

• You feel “on” even when off, and rest is no longer restorative

• Anxiety spikes near key events or decisions

• Private life is getting squeezed by public timelines

• You need a confidential space outside your inner circle to think clearly

​

Therapy is not about perfection. It’s about resourcing you to meet real demands with steadier physiology, clearer thinking and healthier boundaries.

FAQ Section

​

Will my details be kept confidential?

Yes. Your privacy is protected by professional ethics and UK law, with rare exceptions related to serious and imminent risk or legal requirements. We will agree how your data is stored and who, if anyone, can coordinate logistics on your behalf.

​

Can you work with my PA, agent or chief of staff?

With your explicit consent, we can set clear protocols for scheduling and contact through a named person. Clinical content remains confidential; logistics can be handled discreetly to reduce your cognitive load.

​

Do you sign NDAs?

Confidentiality is already a core professional obligation. Where additional non‑disclosure terms are requested, I am open to discussing what is appropriate and clinically safe. We will ensure agreements protect your privacy without constraining therapeutic effectiveness.

​

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. I offer secure, encrypted online sessions as well as in‑person appointments in a discreet London location, subject to availability. We can plan around travel and time zones.

​

What if I am travelling or on a production schedule?

We can design a flexible plan—online sessions across time zones, short intensive blocks, or targeted check‑ins around high‑stakes windows—whilst maintaining clinical quality and continuity.

​

Is this a crisis service?

No. If you are in immediate danger, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent listening support, contact Samaritans on 116 123. Therapy provides structured, ongoing support rather than emergency response.
