About Me

Drawing on over 50 years of experience, this Chartered Psychologist guides individuals through spiritual and mental health psychotherapies. Sessions are crafted to be effective, stimulating, and genuinely enjoyable. This extensive background provides a unique, comprehensive approach, making it an ideal match for those seeking an engaging and transformative journey. Clients valuing profound expertise and a positive, holistic path to well-being will find strong support.

Approach

My sessions follow a disciplined yet imaginative rhythm that balances clinical rigour with heartfelt curiosity. In London or online, in English, we work at a measured pace that suits you — sometimes focused, sometimes exploratory — with clear tasks between meetings and gentle tracking of progress. I blend reflective dialogue with practical techniques informed by assessment and, when helpful, somatic or biofeedback tools to steady anxiety, pain or trauma memories. People seeking an evidence-attuned, spiritually respectful route to steady change often find this way of working helpful.
