Advocacy & Consultancy
As a dual career professional, I provide guidance through legal processes and offer support with clarity and compassion in the psychological aspects. With corporate experience as a qualified lawyer in England and Wales, and subsequent accreditation with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and British Psychological Society in England, I operate under strict ethical codes of conduct.
Trained as an archetypal pattern analyst with Dr Michael Conforti at the Assisi Institute, we will work to understand your personal story and help you make sense of things.
"The implications of archetypal fields for individual experience and our global society are profound...the capacity to recognize and understand the meaning of archetypal patterns offers important opportunities for resolving conflicts on the personal and collective/global levels" - Dr Conforti
Divorce proceedings
“The liberty of divorce is not only a cure for hatred and domestic quarrels; it is also an admirable preservative against them, and the secret for keeping alive that love which first united the married couple.” - David Hume
In the case of legal proceedings for divorce, I have developed resources to help people understand the process in England and Wales, which is complex. Developed from personal experience the materials guide and simplify the process so you feel prepared in advance. My role is to support you to be prepared ahead of meeting with your professional advisors (your solicitor, barrister, or mediator). Being informed ahead of the process gives you clarity, facilitating harmony over adversity and a better outcome for you and your family.
Having worked with a broad range of conditions (including those within the categories of neurodiversity, anxiety disorders and personality disorders) in cases where there is a psychological element, I can be engaged for longer periods. This includes high conflict situations which can have far reaching impacts on family systems and adverse developmental outcomes for children. It is especially important to be non-judgmental and sensitive with the approach to avoid amplifying existing underlying tendencies. The lawyers, who may be familiar with psychological concepts, are not trained in these areas. A legal CPD does not endow the same skillset as a trained psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist dealing with mental illness under skilled supervision.
Sports proceedings
Guidance is essential in negotiating and addressing disputes relating to salary contracts, endorsement deals and image rights. I offer extra insight from my training in sports psychology. Support is often needed in disciplinary hearings relating to regulatory and compliance issues as anti-doping rules involve complex proceedings and appeals. Unfortunatey, these can go on for long periods of time and affect training and performances, which exacerbates the stress for the athlete. My focus on your wellbeing will integrate principles from my published work to keep you in the best possible shape.
Other proceedings
I am available to support on a broad range of legal issues from contractual to regulatory, offering wrap-around psychological support to ensure your wellbeing. Stressful litigation can adversely impact on your performance in work, domestic and social settings. Having worked professionally in cross-border mergers and acquisitions, I am well acquainted with the complexity and intensity of disputes that can arise in the global corporate world from employment to contract matters . With my cross-cultural background, I offer unique empathy and understanding spanning Eastern and Western jurisdictions.
Relationship breakdowns and recovery
For those who at a cross-roads of indecision (or not married) training in the Acton Model equips me with the skills to guide those in the midst of relationship issues. Relationships break down for all sorts of reasons and the approach offers you a deeper understanding of what you are experiencing so you can move on, whether that be within the relationship or beyond it. Distinct from bereavement grief, estrangement grief has no natural ending and strong emotions can keep us trapped in endless cycles. All relationships are a dance and understanding the part you are playing is paramount to regaining agency so you can make the decision that is best for you.
