Hello, and welcome to my page. If you are facing difficulties in life, I hope to be of therapeutic support and intervention. I am attentive to each person's unique experience of the world, including anxieties, frustrations, senses of loss, isolation, being misunderstood, unhappy, or searching for something more. Through an empathic and analytical approach, I accompany people undergoing various challenges such as inner states, couple communication, the processing of the past, or the bewilderment of an alien present. My aim is to provide a space and a relationship to explore your ongoing experiences and to arrive at new realisations and ways of being. I work with people of diverse cultural, geographical, and social class backgrounds, with different identities and sexualities, either one-to-one or in relational counselling.

I have experience across different therapeutic settings (NHS Talking Therapies, Relate, Thrive Together Psychotherapy, Cassel Associates). My approach is theoretically 'integrative' whereby I draw upon different theories including humanistic, existential, psychodynamic, and CBT, any of which may prove of insight. My therapeutic work is informed by an extensive background of research and university teaching in the field of anthropology: the cross-cultural study of what it is be a human being within society. I am attentive to how people’s lives are shaped by family, culture, psychology, and society, and to the difficulties that people face in love, work, life, and death.

I work part-time at the Centre for Anthropology and Mental Health Research in Action at SOAS, University of London, and at the University of Oxford, where I teach courses such as ‘What makes life meaningful? Perspectives from anthropology’. I hold a PhD for a thesis, 'Aspirations of university graduates: an ethnography in New York and Los Angeles'. 

One-to-one

We explore, process, and seek to overcome whatever struggles you are experiencing, however subtle or strong, singular or multiple. These issues might have names or not, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, traumatic symptoms, or questions around identity, intimacy, and belonging. I have particular experience working with young men in their twenties, thirties and forties with a focus ranging from self-worth to sexuality to relationships to life purpose. I seek to provide an ongoing therapeutic space to explore existential questions connecting the everyday with bigger philosophical issues. Without idealising suffering, I believe that leaning into life's challenges thoughtfully can create opportunities for introspection, growth, and the realisation of potential.

Relational counselling

Relational counselling allows for difficult issues to be explored in a sensitive way, setting a standard for what can be sustained outside of the therapy context. I will facilitate deep and meaningful conversations, often addressing topics that may be awkward to explore in ordinary life. These issues might include recurring conflict, an incidence of infidelity, discrepant sexual desires, divergences in parenting or attitudes towards in-laws, cultural differences, or a sense that a connection is fading in its spark. In many instances, relational counselling is aspirational, aspiring to connect and coexist as best as one can by ironing out particular issues.

I approach relational counselling as akin to joint therapy whereby I encourage you to share inner lives, biographies, and personal concerns in the presence of one another. This process of pausing and sensitising to hidden sides of personality typically fosters compassion, deeper connection, and healthier communication. Through this joint emotional processing, people in partnership continue to learn about themselves and each other.

I offer a free initial 20-minute phone call.

In relational counselling, this is a separate call with each person.

We then proceed to an initial session.

I typically work open-ended and weekly. I can also build in reviews at periodic blocks or work to a particular number of sessions.
