How do humans adapt?
That question runs through everything I do, at every scale: from individual nervous systems to the systems people work inside. It shapes my one-to-one psychological practice, my psychology-informed work with teams and organisations, and what I write.
​
The world is changing faster than the humans in it. I’m interested in closing that gap.
How I got here
Education
I hold the BPS Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership - the UK's industry-recognised psychological body and I'm currently completing my chartership. I have an MSc in Experimental Psychology and am specialising in Occupational Psychology.
​
Some of my education was formal. Some of it was personal: I spent more than a decade dealing with anxiety and low mood, and tried most of what’s on offer, from CBT and psychotherapy to medication and every wellness trend with a plausible mechanism. I collected plenty of insight. What finally shifted things was learning to work with my body and nervous system rather than trying to out-think them, and then practising that until it became how I live rather than something I know.

How I work
My individual practice combines evidence-based psychology, including acceptance and commitment therapy, with mindfulness and body-based approaches. With organisations, I do psychology-informed work on how people lead, collaborate and respond to pressure and change. Across both, I care about the same things: evidence over trend, warmth without sentimentality, and respect for how hard real change actually is.
