Understanding yourself more deeply changes how you live, love, lead and create.

About me:

I help people come closer to themselves, to understand the patterns that shape them and to make meaningful changes in how they live, work and relate.

As a child, I had a habit of asking the same question over and over again: “But why?”

Looking back, I like to think that was an early glimpse of the way I live my life and the work I do today. I’ve always been fascinated by what drives people and how they come to be who they are. That curiosity has taken different forms throughout my career, but it has remained the thread connecting everything I’ve done.

The truth is, though, I didn’t become a psychotherapist simply because I was fascinated by psychology.

I became one because therapy changed my life.

When I was a teenager, my mother died. It was a devastating loss at a formative time, and therapy became the place where I slowly learned to navigate grief, process trauma and begin discovering the woman I wanted to become. Over many years of personal therapy, I experienced first-hand how profoundly transformative that process can be. I genuinely don’t believe I would be the person I am today without it.

That experience deepened my curiosity about what shapes us, why some experiences leave such deep marks, why we repeat certain patterns, and what allows us not only to survive difficult chapters, but to grow through them.

Long before I retrained as a psychotherapist, that curiosity led me to found BALANCE, the UK’s first wellbeing magazine. For almost a decade I had the privilege of interviewing leading psychologists, neuroscientists, athletes, entrepreneurs and thought leaders about what helps us flourish. It was an extraordinary education in human behaviour. But I increasingly realised that insight alone isn’t enough. Real change happens in relationship.

Today, those two worlds naturally come together.

I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist, and my work and writing have been featured across national media, including The Times, The Guardian and Stylist. My first book, You Are Not Alone In This, was written with a foreword by Emma Willis.

None of that matters as much as this: I bring the same curiosity, care and depth to every person I work with, whoever is sitting across from me.

I don’t believe therapy is about fixing people. Most of us aren’t broken. We’re often just disconnected, from what we feel, what we actually want, and who we’re quietly becoming.

I believe therapy is about understanding ourselves deeply enough that meaningful change becomes possible. Not change for the sake of change, but change that feels honest. Change that holds.

That’s the work I do, whether someone is sitting with grief, ambition, identity, or all three at once.
