Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent many years working in management roles within the technology sector. While I valued the opportunities and experiences that career provided, I increasingly found myself drawn towards the human side of life; understanding people, relationships, and what helps us navigate adversity and change.
In my mid-forties, I made the decision to retrain as a psychotherapist. It was not a career change made on a whim, but the result of a growing desire to do work that felt meaningful and aligned with who I am. Looking back, I can see that I have always been a people-oriented person, curious about what shapes us and fascinated by the complexity of human experience.
Having lived and worked in several countries, including the Middle East, I have had the privilege of meeting people from many different cultures, backgrounds, and walks of life. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the ways culture, family, identity, and environment influence how we experience ourselves and the world around us.
I am also the parent of a young adult and understand first-hand some of the challenges, transitions, and joys that different stages of life can bring. Living with ADHD myself has further deepened my interest in understanding the many ways people think, feel, learn, and experience the world.
I remain deeply committed to ongoing learning and professional development. Curiosity has always been one of my driving forces, and I am rarely far away from my next training course, book, or area of study. This commitment allows me to continue growing both as a person and as a therapist, bringing fresh knowledge, reflection, and experience into my work with clients.
