About me

Let's be real: navigating life is hard. Maybe you feel lost, are struggling with a demanding career or grappling with a major change? I get it, I have been there too--I have navigated major career shifts, lived as an expat, and wrestled with those big existential questions about identity, meaning, and purpose. I know what it is like to feel rootless, to question belonging, struggle with relationships, and search for a sense of "home" within yourself. Think of therapy as your space to explore, without judgment. We will work together to unpack what is going on, untangle those confusing thoughts and feelings, and discover what truly matters to you. We will explore your experiences without jumping to conclusions, creating space for reflection and self-discovery. Our relationship will be a guide, helping you understand how you connect with yourself and the world. I have no set agenda and no subject is off limits. I will not ask you to talk about anything you do not feel comfortable with nor will I tell you what to do. I am open to what emerges as this can bring fresh perspectives and help you navigate life's challenges with greater resilience. Whether you need a sounding board for a few sessions or want to dive deeper into long-term self-discovery, I am here to help. Are you ready to begin? I offer an initial session to explore your goals and see if my approach is right for you. Get in touch.

Training and qualifications

I am a qualified psychotherapist with a focus on existential analysis which means I can help you explore the fundamental questions about your existence – your freedom, your choices, your relationships, and your search for meaning. I offer a real, human connection, and a genuine commitment to helping you thrive. I hold a PgDip in Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling Psychology, and an Advanced Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy, both from Regent's University, London. I am also a qualified clinical supervisor. I am accredited as a psychotherapist and as a supervisor through the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy). I am also a member of the Society for Existential Analysis (SEA). Before retraining as a psychotherapist, I worked for more than a decade in investment banking followed by more than a decade as an economist/political analyst in a think-tank/publishing house. My banking and publishing jobs gave me first-hand experience of the highly competitive and stressful nature of these work environments. I maintain my business involvement with a non-executive director role at an energy services company.
