Why work with me

Who am I?  I come from a rigorous, classical training at Oxford University and Bristol Medical School, a world defined by precision and established truths. This path provided structure and achievement, but it was never truly home. Beneath the surface of academic accomplishment, a deeper current pulled me away from certainty, towards something wilder, untamed, and alive.

​

My work with plant medicines grew from this longing—not as a rejection of my training, but as a recognition that we are more than our credentials and the structures we build. We arrive in this world without these things. What shapes us runs deeper. Through these experiences, I encountered transformative forces—grief, desire, shame, and longing—that demand we engage with life at its rawest.

​

Healing is not simply about resolving symptoms but awakening to the vitality of existence—to feel more deeply, pursue what’s meaningful, and reclaim what’s been neglected. It’s about being guided by something deeper than intellect alone. My approach now blends the rigour of my training with the transformative potential of altered states. This work is generative—it invites you to break through what’s known and rekindle creativity, purpose, and passion.

​

The journey I’ve undertaken has reshaped my understanding of growth and fulfilment. True transformation requires surrendering to the unknown, engaging with the unspeakable, and discovering meaning where it’s most vivid. It’s through this process that we encounter our own exquisite aliveness, and it’s this ongoing process that guides me in supporting your pursuit of purpose, passion, and authenticity.

​

How We Can Work Together?  Many clients come uncertain about what they need or what therapy can offer—that’s where our work together begins. Whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional balance, or deeper understanding, I’ll help you explore your thoughts and challenges, uncovering what’s truly at the heart of your experience. Together, we’ll find the path that feels right for you.

While traditional therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long and held weekly (£95 for daytime, £120 for evening sessions), my approach is bespoke. Whether through weekly sessions, more intensive work, retreats, or international and in-person sessions, our work will evolve to meet your needs. I also run courses on micro-dosing and work with clients on plant medicine retreats. Contact me directly if you'd like to know more.

​

Let's Talk!  The best way to understand how we can work together is through conversation. I offer a half-hour free consultation where we can discuss your needs, explore what brought you to therapy, and talk about how I work.

While there’s no set way of working with me, I generally recommend starting with weekly sessions to establish a solid foundation. Whether in person or online, this consultation allows us to explore your goals and see if we feel aligned. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions about how therapy can support your journey.

Together, we’ll find the best approach to help you move toward greater clarity, purpose, and freedom.​
