Psychological Therapy for Adults, Couples, and Families
Therapeutic Practice
Alongside my writing, research, and advisory work, I practise as an integrative Counselling Psychologist, offering psychological therapy to adults, couples, and families. Clinical work is a central and sustaining part of my professional life, grounding my thinking in the lived realities of distress, change, relationship, and recovery.
I have doctoral-level training in Counselling Psychology and am a Visiting Lecturer in the Psychology Department at the University of Roehampton, London. My clinical work is formulation-led and shaped by ongoing engagement with research, teaching, and long-term therapeutic practice.
I work in an integrative, formulation-led way, drawing mainly on psychodynamic and schema therapy. I’m interested in how past experiences and relationships continue to influence how we feel, cope, and relate in the present. Where it’s helpful, I also use EMDR and CBT-informed approaches, particularly in work with trauma. Therapy is a collaborative process, focused on making sense of what’s happening and supporting change that feels meaningful and sustainable. I have experience working with:
- Trauma and complex trauma
- Anxiety, panic, stress, and burnout
- Eating disorders and body image concerns
- Self-harm and compulsive or addictive behaviours
- Relationship difficulties, intimacy, and attachment issues
- Identity, sexuality, and self-esteem
- Neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism)
- Grief, loss, and life transitions
- Adjustment to neurological illness or brain injury
I have worked in NHS and other mental health service settings, as well as in private and international contexts, and have experience supporting people with both moderate and complex difficulties. My clinical work has also been shaped by extended time living and working in India, and by engagement with contemplative traditions such as meditation and yoga, which inform my interest in the mind–body relationship.
Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly functioning, yet feel inwardly stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their direction. Often they have spent a long time coping alone, and come to therapy not because they are “broken,” but because they want to understand themselves more clearly and find different ways of relating to their inner world and to others.
I see therapy as a collaborative space for both relief from distress and deeper self-understanding. The work may be brief and focused or longer-term and exploratory, depending on what feels right. I always offer an initial conversation so we can talk through what you’re looking for, answer any questions, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
Non-Fiction
The Algorithmic Mind
The Algorithmic Mind (forthcoming) examines why rising anxiety, burnout, and social fragmentation are not personal failings, but designed outcomes of contemporary systems. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, political economy, and computer science, it explores how algorithmic technologies govern attention, identity, and behaviour — and why individual fixes such as productivity tools or therapy alone cannot address structural harm. The book asks what forms of care, public life, and meaning remain possible in an algorithmic age.
Fiction
Borderless
Borderless (2026) is a literary novel about Charlotte, a British woman adrift in contemporary India, determined to live without borders — of nation, class, race, or desire. Moving through Delhi, Bangalore, Goa, and the Himalayan foothills, she becomes entangled in relationships that expose the uneasy intersections of intimacy, power, and privilege. As she confronts the limits of mobility and freedom, the novel asks what belonging means in a globalised world — and whether borderlessness liberates, or slowly exiles.
