I'm a chartered psychologist, certified systems coach and Captain in the British Army. I have undergone a range of trainings and qualifications, including the NHS Top Manager Programme, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, ICP-SYS' Systems Coaching training, NSPC's Leadership training, and a range of UN and military leadership and community engagement initiatives. My doctorate in psychology involved research on alienation and identity under extreme stress.

I divide my time three ways - clinical work with clients and supervisees, resilience and management development work with organisations, and cognitive warfare work within UK and NATO.

I am a psychologist consultant for Eutelmed, the international humanitarian support hub, providing low-cost psychotherapeutic support to charities, reporters and individuals. I am registered with the main insurance providers such as Aviva and Cygna.

I've written about psychotherapy, children's mental health and cognitive warfare for publications like Aeon, UnHerd and Small Wars Journal. I have lectured internationally and widely, including Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and other universities in the UK and abroad. I am active in research, and have presented and published my work at the World Congress of Existential Therapy, Society of Psychotherapy, British Psychological Society, University of Bristol, Breaking Convention, the Hermeneutic Journal and Society of Existential Analysis. I am a member of the editorial review panel of Existential Analysis, and also sit on the ethics board for NSPC/Middlesex University. I am professional mentor for the Psychology of Education at Bristol University.

My therapeutic work takes place through problem-solving.co.uk and my cognitive warfare work can be found at talkframework.com. Please email for further information.
