I began studying Cognitive Science (Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience), while working in mental health services, with a particular interest in the NHS. I then studied Psychotherapy and Counselling and continued onto advanced training in Existential Psychotherapy, an approach that places importance on one’s subjective, embodied experience in the world.
My passion is longterm relational psychotherapy, because it can achieve a deeper level of understanding. Working in private practice allows me space to provide this.
In the NHS I have worked in various mental health services including: acute adult inpatient services, specialist child and adolescent mental health services, neurodevelopmental paediatrics, emergency mental health services, medium secure forensic services, eating disorders, adult psychodynamic psychotherapy services, and group psychodynamic psychotherapy.

I also write and teach about psychotherapy, philosophy and politics.
