Non-Dual Psychotherapy
I offer individual and couples non-dual psychotherapy online. Rather than working only with thoughts, beliefs and personal stories, non-dual psychotherapy turns towards the awareness in which they all appear — the silence and freedom that you already are. It is practical and grounded, and it doesn’t ask you to believe anything.
Many forms of psychological suffering are rooted in a felt sense of separation. In our work together, we look directly at how thoughts, beliefs and identities are formed and held, and how they shape the way life is experienced. From this, many people find a greater sense of ease, connection and clarity in how they live and relate.
What is non-dual psychotherapy?
My work is shaped by the understanding that psychological suffering is often linked to how experience is interpreted and held, rather than to experience itself. Through my own spiritual practice and meditation, I came to see how shifts in awareness can change our relationship to thoughts, emotions and identity.
Rather than replacing one set of beliefs with another, the work often involves seeing through patterns that no longer serve you, allowing a different relationship to thoughts, emotions and self-concept to emerge.
This is approached in a grounded and practical way. While informed by a spiritual perspective, non-dual therapy is not about adopting any particular belief system, but about directly exploring experience as it is.
My approach resonates with contemporary direct-path teachers, including Rupert Spira, Adyashanti, Mooji and Eckhart Tolle. I have also been guided by my own teacher, Christer Norman.
Where this work comes from
In recent years I have been drawn deeply into meditation and contemplative practice, culminating in three months of silent retreat in 2025 — drawn inwards, like the body being pulled towards sleep. Something shifted profoundly during that time and has since stabilised into a settled, peaceful quality of being — a peace that doesn’t depend on circumstances. It is from this place of stillness and presence that I meet my clients, bringing this space to the sessions.
This sits alongside a long background in Eastern philosophy, Chinese medicine and psychology, and over 15 years of working with clients worldwide.
Meditation and silence
Silence is the most powerful teacher and healer, because true healing comes from experiencing yourself as silence. Sessions can include periods of shared silence or meditation alongside conversation, depending on what feels right for you.
Silence here is not simply a quiet mind. It is awareness itself — the space in which thoughts, feelings and the sense of identity come and go. Like water, it surrounds and holds all of it. Resting in this together, people often begin to see their thoughts and problems from a little distance, and to recognise that they are not them.
Existential psychotherapy and beyond
My clinical training is in existential psychotherapy. Existential therapy takes your lived experience seriously — questions of meaning, freedom, identity and loss that often sit beneath anxiety, low mood or feeling stuck — and explores them collaboratively rather than through diagnosis or technique. I can work in this way, and it is how I work at the level of the mind.
But like all psychotherapy, it works within the mind. Non-dual inquiry is like stepping out of a house into a vast meadow. Rather than building new narratives about the self, it turns to the sense of self that is doing the experiencing. It works from the place of pure awareness that we all are, rather than from mental constructions. Recognising this awareness brings total freedom and happiness beyond the constructions of identity and mind that traditional therapy works with.
I work in an explorative, collaborative way, helping you deepen your self-awareness, understand your patterns, and find greater peace and freedom in your life. If you would prefer to work existentially without a non-dual emphasis, that is equally welcome.
Alongside psychotherapy I practise as a chirologist. For me these disciplines are interconnected: they centre on self-understanding and the relationship between mind and body. You can read more about that side of my work on the chirology page.
Who this work is for
People often come to this work when they have had therapy before and feel something fundamental was left untouched. Others come with existential or spiritual questions about meaning, identity and who they really are. Some are drawn to meditation or non-dual teaching and want to work with it personally rather than only read or listen. And some have had a glimpse of awakening and want help integrating it into everyday life.
Working with couples
I also work with couples. Non-dual couples work begins with recognising who you truly are, and taking responsibility for your own awareness and happiness rather than looking for it in another. As this happens, attachments and fixed ideas about each other begin to drop away. You see yourself as you are, and your partner as they are — not as who you think they need to be to fulfil you. From that acceptance, the other person can come truly close. Much of the pain in relationships comes from a sense of separation; love is the felt recognition that you are not separate at all.
Alongside joint sessions, I often work with each partner individually over a longer period, as personal growth is what makes deeper closeness possible. Even the idea of “the relationship” can get in the way of truly meeting one another.
