About Me

I grew up curious and with an insatiable energy. I was the kind of kid who chased ideas, collected gold stars, and kept moving but I was always extremely shy and anxious. As I grew, had support from a range of professionals I learnt the tools, skills and built enough confidence that I looked like I was thriving. By the time I was in my early twenties, my life looked well-ordered: interesting roles (banking, diplomacy), big responsibilities, new countries (UAE, Tunisia, Afghanistan).

 

Privately, I felt like I was always one milestone away from ease. I could explain emotions but rarely inhabit them. I was fluent in “fine.” Underneath, there was a quiet ache: the patterns I’d picked up early: perfection, people-pleasing, self-critique, kept running the show.

 

That was until I signed up for the Hoffman Process and walked in with my guard up and my intellect switched on. What happened that week was an emotional education. I let myself feel (really feel) grief, anger, tenderness, love. I met the parts of me I’d learned to mute. I stopped trying to outthink my history and started to hold it. The shift was visible: softer shoulders, steadier breath, a sense of being at home in my own skin.

​

After Hoffman, everyday life became the practice ground. Conversations changed. Boundaries became possible. The inner critic lost its monopoly. I didn’t become a different person; I became more myself, less managed, more alive.

 

That’s the heart I bring into the therapy room. I know what it is to be competent on the surface and conflicted inside. I know the relief of being met without judgment, and the courage it takes to tell the truth about your life. My work is slow enough to be safe and clear enough to be real. We’ll trace the threads of your story, feel what hasn’t been felt, and make space for a steadier, kinder way of being.

If you’re holding it all together while feeling quietly off-centre, you’re not broken and you’re tired of carrying an old pattern. This is the place we can put it down and begin again.
