About Me, Your Psychotherapist in Balham & Clapham South

I came to therapy via an unlikely route. I spent years as a scientist, and I still do that work. It left me suspicious of tidy explanations and genuinely at home in complexity.

That stance carries into how I think about therapy. Mental health is too intricate to be explained by any single theory, and I've never found one framework that accounts for everything. So I read widely, hold my training lightly, and stay curious about what actually helps.

I'm drawn to working with people who feel they don't quite fit the standard mould. I have a personal connection to neurodivergence, which gives me a particular understanding of what it looks like from the inside: not as a diagnosis to be managed, but as a way of being in the world. Whatever brings you here, I aim to offer a space that is both intellectually honest and warm.
