I am a psychotherapist because I am deeply interested in how people live, how they make sense of what happens to them, and how they keep going when life becomes difficult or unrecognisable. I trained in existential psychotherapy, drawn to the belief that there are still mysteries to be uncovered in our direct experience. For me, this work is about creating a space where our internal world can be met with honesty, openness, and curiosity. Through this process, choices can begin to emerge, and new ways of inhabiting the world come into view.

I have a background in storytelling, having worked with writers in film and television for many years, and I practise Buddhism, which I also teach. Both have shaped how I inhabit the world and my approach to the therapeutic process, helping me attend to the stories we tell, and to what may sit beneath them.

Alongside my clinical work, I have a long-standing interest in processes of radical change and in how shifts in understanding can reorganise a life. I am particularly drawn to moments when a person’s sense of themselves and the world changes fundamentally. This includes a sustained interest in psychedelic visions and their relationship to change, a territory I recently explored in my doctoral thesis.
