I am a BACP registered counsellor in private practice and a neuroscientist. After working as a neuroscientist for over a decade researching on different states of consciousness, I trained as a Gestalt counsellor at the Gestalt Centre London and attended various workshops in Jungian dream analysis and body-oriented mindfulness-based energy therapy. In my counselling practice, I use an eclectic approach integrating all these modalities and my neuroscientific knowledge within a client-centred and relational therapeutic framework.

My neuroscientific research focuses on exploring brain dynamics in consciousness, sleep, meditation, psychedelic states as well as in the developing brain by analysing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data within the mathematical framework of harmonic waves– a phenomenon ubiquitous in nature.

I obtained a Ph.D. in medical imaging jointly at the Technical Universtiy of Munich and Imperial College London. After my Ph.D. I held postdoctoral research positions at the School of Psychology, University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, and at the Center for Brain and Cognition, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Barcelona, at the Centre for Psychedelic Research, Imperial College London and at the Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing, University of Oxford.
