Before becoming a psychotherapist, I studied philosophy and psychology. I was interested in how people make sense of themselves, particularly when familiar ways of understanding no longer feel sufficient.

That interest eventually led me into psychotherapy.

I trained in existential-phenomenological psychotherapy at the NSPC in London, and I also have training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I have worked in NHS services, charitable organisations, and private practice. This has included specialist work in chronic pain at St Thomas’ Hospital, alongside work with anxiety, depression, addiction, and more complex emotional difficulties.

What matters most to me in therapy is not interpretation or technique, but the quality of attention in the room — whether a person feels able to think and speak honestly about their experience without needing to perform or explain it in the “right” way.

I aim to be steady, thoughtful, and direct where helpful, without rushing towards conclusions.
