I became a psychologist not because I always knew this was my path, but because life has a way of whispering in your ear, nudging you toward what feels right, even when it’s hard to articulate why. For me, it wasn’t about a single epiphany or a dramatic turning point. It was a series of quiet moments, small yet profound, that taught me how deeply our experiences shape us and how resilient we can be, even in the face of unimaginable challenges.

My work is built on the belief that human beings are intricate and extraordinary, shaped by layers of history, emotion, and connection. We all carry stories within us. Some are loud, like the grief we cannot shake or the memories we cannot forget. Others are quieter, tucked away in the corners of our hearts, waiting for the right time to be told. My role is to sit with you in those moments, to help you hear those stories more clearly, and to discover what they might mean for your life today.

I have spent years studying and practising psychology, but my greatest lessons have not come from textbooks or lecture halls. They have come from sitting with people as they share their fears, their joys, their heartbreaks, and their triumphs. I have learned that the human mind is as resilient as it is fragile, as complex as it is beautiful. I believe that our struggles do not define us. They illuminate what we value most, even when we feel lost or overwhelmed.

As someone who knows what it’s like to wrestle with uncertainty and self-doubt, I approach every person I work with as a fellow traveller rather than an expert with all the answers. I understand how important it is to feel seen and heard, to know that your experiences matter. Therapy is not about fixing people. It is about creating a space where you can find clarity and begin to understand yourself with greater compassion and kindness.

My perspective on the human psyche is deeply rooted in the idea that we are not just minds or bodies but stories in motion. We are shaped by our pasts, but we are not bound by them. The future is unwritten, and our choices hold the power to shape what comes next. Healing, in my view, is not a linear process or a destination. It is an ongoing act of self-discovery, a practice of being present and open to the possibilities of life.

I am particularly drawn to helping people who feel overwhelmed by the noise of their own thoughts or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is grounded in empathy and authenticity. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who genuinely cares, who can ask the hard questions without judgment and who is willing to sit with you in the discomfort until it starts to make sense.

Outside of my clinical work, I draw inspiration from storytelling, whether it’s through literature, gaming, or photography. I believe that stories can teach us things about ourselves we might otherwise miss, that they can hold up a mirror to our deepest fears and desires while offering us the courage to embrace them. My life and work are deeply intertwined with the idea that meaning is not something we find. It is something we create, piece by piece, moment by moment.

If you are reading this and wondering whether therapy could be the right step for you, I want you to know that it is okay to feel unsure. It is okay to take your time. Reaching out can feel like an enormous leap, but it is also an act of bravery. It says that you are ready to begin exploring what could be different, even if you don’t yet know what that might look like. My hope is to offer a space where you feel safe enough to take that first step, to ask the questions that matter most, and to start shaping a story that feels truer to who you are. As I often remind myself and others, it’s not about having all the answers. It’s about beginning with the right questions.

My Credentials

I completed my doctorate in Counselling Psychology in the United Kingdom and have been a registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) since 2018. The path I’ve followed has been shaped by a variety of experiences and rigorous training that have deepened my understanding of what it means to truly help others.

Since becoming registered, I’ve been fortunate enough to work within the NHS, where I now hold the role of Lead/Principal Psychologist. My time there has been defined by a drive to innovate and develop treatments rooted in solid research and practical application. One of my proudest contributions has been helping shape the Oxford model of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders. I also led the development of a digital treatment pathway specifically for children and young people struggling with emotion regulation, ensuring they receive support that genuinely meets their needs

My areas of expertise include eating disorders, personality disorders, affective disorders, attachment disorders, trauma, PTSD, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and ASD. These specialisations are grounded in years of training and practice, and they reflect the diversity of challenges I’ve encountered in my work. My therapeutic approach is a thoughtful blend of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), enriched by additional training in evidence-based treatments such as Mentalisation-Based Treatment (MBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and several specialised therapies for eating disorders. My consultations extend beyond individual sessions to offer families tailored advice and direction, often helping them access specialist assessments and interventions.

Through all of this, my guiding philosophy has been to make the field of psychology not only accessible but also a source of comfort and empowerment. The human mind is endlessly complex, but I firmly believe that everyone carries within them the capacity for growth and healing. My role is to provide the tools and insights to help people and family discover that within themselves, offering a space where challenges can be met with compassion and solutions are shaped by collaboration.
