Doctoral Researcher | Existential Psychotherapist in Doctoral Training.

About

My doctoral and clinical work examines identity, and relational dynamics, with a focus on how people connect, adapt, and organise under unusual conditions and relational circumstances. I operate across challenging, sensitive and high intensity areas, where ethical awareness and discretion are essential. My expertise lies in qualitative research, cultural intelligence, and ethically sensitive inquiry, with experience generating insights into behaviours, groups and relationships that are rarely visible to outsiders.
