about Ed

Professional experience and personal understanding

Over 13 years working closely with people in private healthcare have shaped my approach, alongside significant challenges I've navigated in my own life.

These experiences have given me a deeper appreciation of how difficult it can be when familiar ways of coping no longer seem to work, and how important it is to find a way through.

who I work with

When you're used to managing everything, admitting you no longer can is not easy

The people I work with are often used to dealing with problems, making important decisions and supporting others. But something has changed. It may be one difficulty or several things happening at once, affecting their health, work, confidence, relationships or enjoyment of life.

They may have already tried different ways of addressing what's happening, without finding a lasting resolution. They may feel overwhelmed, anxious, less confident in themselves or simply unable to manage things as they once could.

Could we work together? It needs to feel right on both sides. You can start by telling me a little about what's happening.

how I work

Seeing beyond the obvious problem

Through in-depth conversations, I explore the behaviours, ways of thinking and responses that may recur in different areas of your life, often without you recognising the connection.

I bring perspective and guidance, working alongside you to make sense of what's happening and develop different ways of approaching the difficulties you're facing.

the process

How we might work together

Step 01

See if we should work together

Tell me a little about what's happening through a short, confidential form. We'll arrange an initial conversation to understand your situation and decide whether taking the next step feels right.

Step 02

Experience the work before committing further

Where appropriate, we begin with a few hours together to explore your situation in greater depth, begin to make sense of what's happening and give you a first-hand experience of how I work.

From approximately £1,200, agreed in advance.

Step 03

Give meaningful change the time it needs

If we both feel there is more to explore, I may recommend a longer period of private client work, with the scope shaped around your circumstances.

For some clients, a specific single piece of work may be appropriate, starting from £3,000. Longer-term private client work typically starts from £25,000.

getting started

The first step is simply a conversation

If something isn't right and the things you've already tried haven't been enough, you can start by telling me a little about what's happening.

There's no commitment at this stage. Just an opportunity to see whether working together might be right for you.
