"To be nobody but yourself
in a world which is doing its best
to make you like everybody else
means to fight the hardest battle."
— E.E. Cummings
About me — and how I came to this work.
My approach to therapy is shaped by over a decade of clinical experience, thirty years of meditation practice, and a genuine curiosity about what it means to live a fuller, more authentic life.
I trained at Re-Vision, London — pioneers of Integrative Transpersonal Therapy in the UK — completing a Diploma in Counselling in 2015 and a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy in 2018. Before entering private practice, I worked as a high dependency unit nurse for ten years. I then spent six years working in NHS drug and alcohol services as a specialist nurse, where I taught clinical staff at a major London teaching hospital, organised and presented at London-wide substance misuse conferences, and sat on an advisory panel for Public Health England.
Since qualifying, I have undertaken further specialist training in trauma — including somatic and body-based approaches — the dynamics of antagonistic, narcissistic and toxic relationships, and in the particular challenges men face in their lives, supporting them in finding genuine emotional connection and a renewed sense of purpose.
Across each of these areas I have worked with people at some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Beneath it all is the same conviction — that the authentic self is never lost, only obscured, and waiting to be reclaimed.
I'm also a founding member of a group of psychotherapists and Buddhist practitioners exploring the connections between Buddhism and trauma-informed therapy — work that shapes how I think about healing and what's possible in the therapy room.
I have also been part of a workshop series which has deepened my understanding of what becomes possible when people communicate authentically. In addition to my own involvement in group work, I have trained in group facilitation, with a particular interest in community and organisational meetings, and the relational and embodied dynamics of group work.
Outside the therapy room I enjoy writing poetry and short personal memoir pieces, and drawing. I find that working creatively helps me be patient, receptive, and thoughtfully tend to what is forming.
I'm a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and work within their ethical framework.
