Who I work with

By the time people find me, they've usually tried everything. The clinics, the protocols, the supplements, the programmes with the money-back guarantees. Some things helped for a while. Nothing held. And somewhere along the way, most were told — directly or politely — that this is just how life is now.

You were right to keep looking.

I work with a small number of people at any one time. Not because of some artificial waiting list, but because this work is bespoke, one-to-one, and it goes deep. So I am selective, and I'd rather tell you now what I'm looking for than have you find out three sessions in.

This is for you if

You contacted me yourself. Not because a partner or parent pushed you here. Recovery runs on your own motive force — it's the one thing I can't supply, and the whole method depends on it.

You're ready to look at your life, not just your symptoms. The people who recover with me stop asking "which protocol next?" and start asking a harder question: why does nothing hold? The answer is almost never found in the symptoms alone. It's found in the life the symptoms arrived in — the coping, the over-functioning, the being the one who always manages. If that sounds uncomfortably familiar, keep reading.

You can work without a guarantee. I will never give you a recovery date, and I don't deal in promises. My confidence comes from the process, not from predictions. The people who do best hear that and feel relieved. Finally, someone who isn't selling certainty.

You're willing to test, not required to believe. You don't have to arrive convinced that your nervous system holds the key. Healthy scepticism is fine — some of my best clients started there. What matters is willingness to try small things and let the evidence do the persuading.

You can show up — at whatever level your health allows. I work with people at every severity, including from bed. The steps we take are sized to your reality, sometimes absurdly small, and that's by design. I don't need you to have capacity. I just need you to turn up.

This probably isn't for you if

• You only want a protocol. I do give advice and direction on supplements, diet and the physical side of recovery, and it matters. But if a supplement stack or a step-by-step programme is all you're after, there are plenty of those, and what I do is different. I'll save you the disappointment now.
• This is someone else's idea. If your partner found this page and you're reading it to keep the peace — I understand, and the answer is still no. When it becomes your idea, I'll be here.
• You need a guarantee before you'll begin. Nobody in this field can honestly give you one. Be wary of anyone who does.
• You want the sessions to do the work for you. The work between our conversations is small — sometimes minutes — but it's yours.

None of this is about how ill you are, how long you've been ill, or how many things have failed before. It's about how you're ready to approach what comes next.

How it works

Start with the application below. It takes a little effort by design; consider it the first small step of the work. I read every application personally and reply to each one.

If it looks like a potential fit, I'll invite you to a consultation call. On that call you're deciding about me as much as I'm deciding about you. No pressure. If it's right, we'll both know.

I take on a small number of new clients each month, usually one or two. If I'm full when you apply, I'll tell you honestly and you'll have first refusal on the next place.

There is a way forward. If what you've read here sounds like you, I'd like to hear from you.
