London · Online, Face-to-face

Bio

My expertise lies at the crossroads of medicine, sexuality, and holistic mind-body health, combining modern medicine and neuroscience with the ancient traditional wisdom from the East.

My clinical focus includes:

* Neuro-Psychosomatic Medicine – integrative care for autoimmune disorders, gut issues, chronic fatigue, and chronic stress-related illness, where vagal neuromodulation can help, recognising the deep connections between nervous system regulation, trauma, and physical health.

* Sexual Medicine & Psychosexual Therapy – medical and therapeutic support for erectile dysfunction, vaginismus, painful sex, desire concerns, orgasm difficulties, and relationship challenges.

* Somatic Counselling & Mind-Body Approaches – mindfulness, breathwork, and body awareness practices, woven into medical care to help patients reconnect with safety, pleasure, and resilience.

* Neurodivergence Support – tailored care for autistic and ADHD adults and teenagers, combining medical knowledge with a somatic approach to provide affirming, practical pathways to wellbeing.
