My work has grown out of a long exploration of relationships, consciousness, and what it means to live with integrity.
About me
I am a relational therapist and group facilitator based in London.
I work with thoughtful adults and couples navigating the complexities of relationship, identity, and change.
Before becoming a therapist, my professional life began in academia. I completed a PhD and built a successful academic career, eventually becoming a professor in my field. My work was intellectually engaging and outwardly successful.
From the outside, things appeared complete. Yet over time I began to recognise that in the pursuit of knowledge and achievement, I had gradually moved away from other vital aspects of life - emotional experience, the body, intimacy, relationship, and spirituality. A quieter question began to emerge: what does it mean to listen deeply to oneself, to live with greater honesty, connection, and truth?
And how do we begin to live from that - not only understand it, but allow it to shape the choices we make and the direction of our lives?
I went through a spiritual awakening that disrupted the direction of my life and opened a much deeper exploration of consciousness, embodiment, and human development. That experience eventually led me to leave academia and train as a counsellor.
Psychosynthesis counselling resonated strongly with me because it integrates psychological depth with an openness to the wider dimensions of human experience.
Alongside my clinical training, I have explored expanded states of consciousness, including time in the Amazon in Peru. I have trained in contemplative practices, breathwork, and research-based clinical frameworks for psychedelic-assisted therapy.
While this work is not part of my therapeutic offering, it has deeply informed how I understand healing, integration, and the complexity of human life.
Over time, my explorations have led me back to what feels most essential: how we live, how we love, and how we stay connected to ourselves and others in the midst of ordinary life - and how we make choices that reflect that. I have come to feel that spirituality, at its most meaningful, is not separate from relationship but expressed through it - in the quality of our presence, the honesty we bring to our lives, and our capacity to remain connected without leaving ourselves behind.
Human change does not come only from insight, but from how we meet ourselves and each other in real time. Much of the work involves recognising the moment where familiar strategies take over - the moment we move away from our own truth in order to preserve connection. Self-abandonment often begins in precisely this moment.
Over time, therapy becomes the practice of developing a different capacity: learning to stay in relationship without abandoning ourselves and to respond in ways that are more aligned with what matters.
My work is informed not only by professional training but also by my own lived encounters with the challenges of relationship, identity, and personal change.
My professional training includes:
Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling
Certification in Relational Life Therapy (RLT)
Diploma in Contemplative Group Process
Diploma in Leadership & Organisational Coaching
I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
