I work with individuals navigating the demands of high performance, creativity, leadership, and personal transformation.

Many of my clients are entrepreneurs, military, academics, performers, and those who seek a confidential space to think clearly, address challenges with greater depth, and explore the questions that often emerge alongside achievement, ambition, and change.

My approach is informed by existential and relational psychotherapy, with a particular interest in courage, resilience, meaning, and the ways people respond to pivotal moments in their lives. I am currently researching the phenomenology of courage at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling (Middlesex University), examining how courage emerges within relationships and contributes to growth, authenticity, and psychological wellbeing.

Alongside my private practice in South West London, I worked with NHS and private referrals in specialist psychotherapy settings across London and online. I am a registered trainee psychotherapist with the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Universities Psychotherapy and Counselling Association (UPCA), and a member of the Society for Existential Analysis (SEA). My work is conducted in accordance with UKCP professional and ethical standards, supported by ongoing clinical supervision and professional development.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent more than twenty years working in higher education, performance, and the arts. Following studies at Oxford University, where I completed doctoral research in music, I taught, performed, and led educational and wellbeing programmes for universities, arts organisations, and cultural institutions across the UK. I later served as Head of College at a London university, supporting students' development and wellbeing within a complex and demanding environment.

This breadth of experience continues to inform my clinical work. I have a particular understanding of the challenges faced by performers, academics, creative professionals, and individuals in high-pressure roles, including anxiety, identity transitions, leadership demands, questions of purpose, and the pursuit of excellence without sacrificing personal wellbeing.

Clients often value a therapeutic relationship that combines intellectual rigour with warmth, curiosity, and thoughtful challenge. My aim is to provide a space in which difficult conversations can be approached with honesty, courage, and care, enabling meaningful and lasting change.
