About Me, Your Psychotherapist in Balham & Clapham South

I came to therapy via an unlikely route. I spent years as a scientist — I still do that work — and it shaped how I listen: carefully, without rushing to conclusions, and with a genuine appetite for complexity. I've learned to be suspicious of tidy explanations.

That's carried 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 genuinely curious about what actually helps, drawing on psychotherapy, neuroscience, and the broader science of human experience. What I'm not here to do is fit you into a ready-made box.

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 genuinely warm.
