Clinical Psychologist 

The Lumen Project

​

Where psychology meets the extraordinary.
 

What if some of the ideas we associate with manifestation, visualisation, meditation, breathwork and ancient healing practices have more in common with modern psychology than we think?

​

The Lumen Project is my exploration of that question.

​

I travel the world meeting psychologists, researchers, healers and pioneering practitioners, exploring everything from established psychological science to the ideas sitting at its edges.

​

I’m interested in what works, what doesn’t, and what happens when we examine ancient wisdom, holistic practices and cutting-edge science through the same curious but critical lens.

​

Psychology calls it one thing. Manifestation may call it another. I’m interested in where they meet.

About Me

Clinical rigour. Human curiosity.


I’m a Clinical Psychologist with advanced training in psychological research methods from the University of Oxford, a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of London, and specialist postgraduate training from UCL.


My career began in evidence-based clinical psychology, working across the NHS and private practice. But I’ve always been fascinated by a bigger question: what actually creates meaningful, lasting human change?
That question has taken me far beyond the traditional therapy room, from interviewing practitioners around the world to exploring visualisation, hypnosis, meditation, breathwork and other approaches to transformation.
I bring both sides together: the scientific rigour of a psychologist and researcher, and the curiosity to explore ideas that conventional psychology does not always have all the answers for.

Cosmic Sky

Psychology, tailored to you.

Private psychological therapy for adults and young people experiencing anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, life transitions or simply feeling stuck.

My approach draws on evidence-based psychological therapies while looking beyond symptom relief to the deeper patterns of thought, emotion, behaviour and identity that shape how you live.

See It. Feel It. Be It.

The Lumen Method is my framework for turning insight and intention into meaningful change.

It brings together psychological science, visualisation, emotional regulation and action to help you clarify the future you want, shift the patterns keeping you stuck, and begin behaving as the person capable of creating it.

Because imagining a different life is only the beginning. The real transformation is becoming the person who lives it.

EVENTS &
WORKSHOPS

Psychology brought to life.

I host workshops, retreats and immersive experiences exploring psychology, relationships, visualisation and human transformation.

I’m also available for speaking, podcasts, television, festivals, hotels, retreats and collaborations, bringing a psychologist’s perspective to subjects ranging from mental health and relationships to manifestation, behaviour and the science of change.

Services

​​

I’m developing the next chapter of Lumen, from programmes and personal-development experiences to workshops, retreats and conversations with fascinating practitioners around the world.

Rather than guessing what people want, I want to understand what you’re actually trying to change, what tends to get in the way, and what kind of support would genuinely help.

Your answers will directly shape what I create next.

As a thank you, you’ll receive a complimentary 20-minute consultation instead of the usual 10 minutes, along with early access to new offerings.
​
It only takes a few minutes and your voice really helps shape what comes next.

On this channel, I travel the world interviewing practitioners and personally testing their treatments, from breathwork and somatic therapy to spiritual and holistic modalities, on a quest to discover what truly works.

As a science practitioner I approach each experience with curiosity and discernment, separating hype from real effectiveness.
