About me

Life can often feel uncertain and overwhelming, especially when you find yourself questioning who you are, what you want, or where you belong. Whether it is a demanding career, a major change, or deeper questions about meaning and purpose, these moments can feel isolating. I have been there too—navigating career shifts, living abroad, and wrestling with what it means to truly feel at home within yourself. As an existential psychotherapist, I provide a gentle, non-judgmental space to explore these experiences at your own pace. Together, we will look beneath the surface of your thoughts and feelings, without rushing to fix or solve. The aim is to help you discover clarity, build resilience, and reconnect with what matters most to you—within a collaborative and compassionate relationship where no topic is off-limits. Whether you’re seeking a few sessions to find direction or a longer journey of self-discovery, I am here to support you. I offer an initial session to explore your goals and see if my approach feels right. Taking that first step may be daunting, but it can also be the start of coming home to yourself.

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.
