XYZ THERAPIST
MY STORY
Curious About People, Driven by Connection
I have always been drawn to understanding people: how we make sense of our experiences and how our sense of Self shapes the way we live and love. After earning my law degree from University College London, I spent a decade in the corporate world as a private equity lawyer and M&A underwriter. It was fast-paced and intellectually demanding and, for a while, it suited me. But over time, I found myself drifting from what truly matters to me: genuine connection, presence and purpose.
Listening to Discomfort
Rather than push that discomfort aside, I chose to listen. My body revealed what my mind preferred to ignore: waking panic, a tight knot in my stomach, and that familiar Sunday dread that made the week ahead feel heavier than it should. Like many overachievers who tie productivity to self-worth, I appeared highly functioning on the outside but felt hyper-vigilant and depleted on the inside. That unease became my turning point.
From Success to Meaning
Wanting a more present life and work that truly serves others, I returned to what has always captivated me: the human mind and how two people can experience the same moment in completely different ways. I am now completing dual postgraduate degrees, an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health at King’s College London and a Master of Counselling in Singapore, while building a therapeutic practice grounded in existential thought. This work invites honest self-inquiry, respects complexity, and is grounded in the truth that meaning and purpose aren’t found, but forged through how we live, choose, and relate to the world. When we accept that life is finite, each moment becomes something to live, not just survive.
A Life Across Cultures
Growing up as an expat, born in the UAE to Danish parents, raised in the UK and having lived in London, Dubai, Hong Kong and now Singapore, gave me a lived education in shifting identity, belonging and reinvention. Living across cultures taught me to appreciate the beauty in different ways of seeing the world and that there is no single right way to live. We shape who we are through experience.
How We’ll Work Together
I bring a direct, grounded, intuitive presence to my work. I know what it’s like to live out of alignment with your Self and to watch parts of you erode beneath performance and pressure. I also know how transformative it can be to face that honestly. If you have achieved everything you thought you wanted but still feel a quiet emptiness inside, you are not alone, and it does not have to stay that way. Together, we’ll make sense of where you are and find a way forward that feels true for you.
