ABOUT ME

I trained at the University of Oxford and Bristol Medical School and have spent over twenty years working in adult mental health as a Chartered Psychologist and Therapist. 

​

My principal training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy but my clinical approach also draws from depth psychology, CBT, and attachment-based approaches, including formal training in Jungian and Freudian traditions. I have also undertaken specialist training in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy through MAPS, which informs my capacity to think carefully about altered states and complex inner experiences, while remaining grounded in established therapeutic frameworks.

Alongside my clinical work, I remain actively involved in academic research at the University of Oxford. My research has been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presented at academic conferences, and it reflects a commitment to ongoing professional development and staying engaged with contemporary thinking in the field. This work informs my clinical practice, supporting thoughtful, ethical, and up-to-date psychotherapy.

I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma and relational distress. My clinical work is fully supervised and insured, and I practise in accordance with the professional and ethical standards of my accrediting memberships.
