About me

I have always been curious about the mind and understanding the human experience. This has only deepened through my work in psychiatry and research – which has taken me to various NHS mental health services and academic projects that investigate both our understanding of emotional difficulties and their treatment. Psychotherapy has always stood out for me in epitomising the capacity of human relationships to be supportive and nourishing. In my view, being a therapist is predicated on this instinct to cherish relationship.

Coming from a progressive Jewish family in Manchester, I am sensitive to considerations of how culture and ancestry can come to shape our experiences. Training in psychotherapy naturally brings an interest in the breadth of human creativity and potential, exploring what it means to lead a full and rich life.

Training and additional qualifications

My training in psychotherapy is in Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy, taught by the Karuna Institute (Bristol, UK) where I am a final year student / senior trainee. I have given an outline of this approach to psychotherapy in the “How I work” section, and you can also read more about this on the Karuna Institute website which may be helpful.

Alongside my psychotherapy training, I hold medical qualifications (MBChB, MRCPsych). My private practice is dedicated to psychotherapy, and clients are expected to seek medical care, prescribing and psychiatric treatment through their usual healthcare providers where needed.
