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.

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 necessarily 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.
