Qualifications & experience

After realising that a career in Physics wasn't for me I embarked on a journey into meditation and psychotherapy. This journey helped me find meaning, purpose and alleviated my suffering. In my late twenties I moved to London from Manchester and decided to study psychotherapy formally.

 

I completed a foundation course at the CCPE in transpersonal psychotherapy. This is a kind of psychotherapy that considers spirituality and looks for deeper meaning in suffering. I then studied for four years at the Minster Centre to obtain a diploma and master's in psychotherapy and counselling. This training was in integrative psychotherapy, this tradition focusses on relationships, questions of meaning, family structures, intergenerational trauma, systemic oppression.

​

I realised that alongside individual change society needs to change and became interested in political and social action. At this time I started researching and writing and published a book chapter, peer-reviewed article and online blogs that focused on the individual and society. I then completed a PhD at the University of Edinburgh focussing on these issues in relation to psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

​

I then completed a diploma in supervision at the Minster Centre completing a year course which had a focus on relational psychotherapy practice, identity and systemic oppression and inequality. I am currently training to be a Lacanian Psychoanalyst with the New Lacanian School and deepening my meditation journey with the North London Buddhist Centre.

​

My therapy practice brings together many of the skills and interests listed above. I adopt a neutral and non-judgemental approach meaning I am open to learning about you as a person, your perspective on life and whatever you are struggling with. Having explored my own journey and suffering in depth, I now create this space for other people.​
