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.
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.
I have a unique blend of experience that informs my work:
• PhD in neuroscience, which helps me understand how we think, feel, and change
• MSc and PGDip in existential psychotherapy
• 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
While my experience informs my work, I welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds who seek meaning, clarity, and a more authentic way of living.
Do you feel like you’re performing your life instead of living it? Maybe everything looks fine on the outside, but you feel anxious or uncertain – without knowing exactly what you want to change, or why. You’re not alone in feeling this way.
I work with people who are quietly questioning their identity, purpose, or direction – often after years spent chasing success – and help them to make clearer choices, build better relationships and create a way of living that feels more honest and alive.
Many describe feeling numb inside, struggling with shame, burn out or caught in patterns they don’t fully understand. Some feel like 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. Sometimes the most important work begins when things are “fine” – but not fulfilling.
I see anxiety and doubt not as symptoms or problems to fix, but signals pointing to something important that’s asking for your attention. By exploring these feelings, I can help you find a personalised way to achieve clarity, direction and authentic connection in a world increasingly shaped by AI and digital performance.
My approach is grounded in existential psychotherapy, which means we’ll explore not just what’s happening, but what it means to you.
We’ll look at how your values, choices, relationships and sense of self have evolved – and gently explore where they might now feel misaligned and what needs to change. Together, we’ll work to move you on from acting in life to authoring your future with purpose.
I enjoy building relationships with clients of all backgrounds where we both experience each other as genuine, real people, rather than via detached, clinical interactions. This makes it easier for you to be vulnerable and talk openly without fear of judgment – and feel truly heard.
There’s no minimum commitment, and I use recurring calendar invites, Microsoft Teams video calls, and a one-click payment link to make the process as smooth and low-effort for you as possible.

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.
