About
I'm a Chartered Psychologist with a doctorate in resilience. I help people adapt to pressure and change, rather than just push through it.
Traditional resilience is about getting back to where you started: endure challenges → recover → return to baseline.
Resilience 2.0 pairs resilience with adaptability. Not just getting through what happens, but adapting and evolving because of it. The analogy I use is less rubber band snapping back, more living ecosystem constantly adapting.
Micro-moments are the practice at the centre of my work: small shifts in attention and action, at the points where pressure narrows things down and pushing harder feels like the only option. Adaptation builds from repeated small choices, not one big reset.
