Clients often tell me they chose to work with me because the process feels emotionally safe and intellectually credible.
I bring depth, clarity, and challenge – but always with warmth and respect.
I have a unique blend of experience that informs my work:
• A PhD in neuroscience, which helps me understand how we think, feel, and change
• A background in corporate leadership, which means I understand the pressures and emotional costs of success
• Postgraduate research into shame, masculinity, and identity, which informs my work with clients navigating emotional disconnection and self-worth
My path into psychotherapy began with an academic fascination for the human mind. But it was my work in medical education and leadership – seeing how people struggle with pressure, purpose and identity – that led me toward a deeper, more human way of helping.
Do you feel like you’re performing your life instead of living it?
Maybe everything looks fine on the outside – but inside, you feel anxious, disconnected or unsure of what’s missing. You’re not alone in feeling this way.
I work with people who are quietly questioning their identity, purpose, or direction – often after years of chasing success. Many describe feeling emotionally numb, stuck in shame or caught in patterns from the past they don’t fully understand. Some say they’ve been performing for so long, they’ve lost touch with who they really are.
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes, the most important work begins when things are “fine” – but not fulfilling.
My approach is grounded in existential psychotherapy. Together, we’ll explore not just what’s happening, but what it means to you. We’ll reflect on how your values, relationships, and sense of self have evolved – and where they may no longer feel aligned.
I don’t see anxiety or doubt as problems to fix, but as signals that something important is asking for your attention. These feelings can become a doorway to clarity, purpose and deeper connection – both with yourself and others.
Existential psychotherapy is a person-centred, philosophical approach. It’s not about diagnosis or labels. It’s about understanding your lived experience and making choices that feel authentic to you. There are no pre-set goals or timelines – we work at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you.
I offer a space where you don’t have to perform or prove anything. Just show up as you are, and together, we’ll create a space for honest reflection and meaningful change.

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
