We can often look back and reflect on a ‘sliding doors’ moment that shapes our life’s path.

Mine came from an anxiety attack that I couldn’t think my way out of. In the midst of my law exams I found myself, red-faced, sat in front of my tutor explaining why having a panic attack really ‘wasn’t like me’.

From there, a seed was planted.

If this uncontrollable wave of panic wasn’t me, then what was it? What did it say about me? Was it something I had to resign myself to?

Fast forward a few years into my legal career and I sat with that question again but this time not just for me. All around me I witnessed colleagues crippled with chronic stress, anxiety, imposter syndrome, fear of judgement and fear of not being good enough. I saw that it was rife at every level of the hierarchy, so neither experience or talent could be the fix.

I longed for the tools and understanding that could help me and others feel like ourselves again. I wanted to understand what it was about our minds that separated us from feeling like ourselves?

That longing spurred me on to re-train as a QCH Therapist and Coach.

Now I’m here, running my own business (something I never imagined I could do). I love working with individuals and organisations and I feel incredibly lucky that I've discovered a career path that is so rewarding.
