Trauma specialist | Trainer | Founder

I consider myself incredibly fortunate and deeply grateful to have been mentored, supervised, and taught by some of the leading clinicians, researchers, and pioneers in mental health, trauma treatment, and psychological wellbeing. Their contributions have profoundly shaped my understanding of how people heal, adapt, and flourish in the face of adversity, and continue to influence my approach to clinical practice, teaching, and training.

Working with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health challenges, including PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, dissociation, and difficulties with emotional regulation, is a privilege. Each week, I have the opportunity to witness remarkable resilience, growth, and transformation. The lived experiences of those I work with continually deepen my understanding of human suffering and recovery, while also challenging me to remain curious, evidence-informed, and grounded in what genuinely helps people heal.

My journey started nearly 25 years ago, like many of my patients and colleagues, on my own trauma healing path as I was brought to my knees from severe, horrific, and disturbing PTSD symptoms. Like many of the people I work alongside today, I experienced firsthand how profoundly mental health challenges can affect every aspect of life, and how healing often emerges through a combination of knowledge, relationships, self-understanding, and perseverance.

For more than a decade, I dedicated myself to clinical practice while founding and directing one of the largest providers of clinical education in the UK and Europe. My goal was simple: to help practitioners deliver the highest standard of psychological care and to advance understanding across the broader fields of mental health, trauma, neuroscience, and psychotherapy.

In 2024, I left the organisation to co-develop the Psychology and Trauma MSc at University College London, establish Interoception International, and pursue my passion for training, presenting, and translating emerging research into practical application. Today, my work focuses on advancing the fields of mental health, trauma recovery, embodiment, and interoception, helping clinicians, organisations, and communities apply the latest science in ways that meaningfully improve human wellbeing.
