The Story behind CMEM

For over 17 years, I have worked at the intersection of psychology and behavior.

My professional background includes extensive clinical training, private practice and experience working with one of the UK’s leading mental health providers. Based in the UK, France and the United States at different stages of my career, I have worked with hundreds of clients from diverse backgrounds, including business, academia, sport and the arts.

Over the course of my career, I developed the Conscious Mind Empowerment Method (CMEM), drawing on established approaches including ACT, CBT, Metacognitive Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Compassion Focused Therapy.

CMEM brings together these principles within a structured, evidence-informed method designed to help people understand themselves, overcome internal barriers and make meaningful changes in how they live.
