Mental Health for the Practical Mind

Neuroscience and Psychology-informed coaching on decision fatigue, money psychology, and repeating patterns - for high-functioning adults who want more than to "push through this."

Where the work begins

Decision Fatigue

When thinking by yourself stops working. This is for the person who is capable of making good decisions - and is tired of how heavy each one has become.

Money Psychology

Money is rarely just about money. This work looks at the patterns, scripts, and relationships with money that shape choices more than logic ever does.

Repeating Patterns

The same dynamic keeps showing up - in work, relationships, or how you respond under pressure. Noticing it clearly is where change actually begins.

A structured thinking partnership

This is not a programme with set steps, and it is not therapy. It is a structured space to think - with someone who understands both the world you operate in and the psychological patterns that shape how you move through it.

We work at whatever pace makes sense. Some people come with a specific decision they cannot seem to make. Others arrive knowing something needs to shift but not quite what. Either way, we start where you are - and work toward clarity that is actually yours.

About Me

My Background

I spent much of my career in finance and advisory roles, working in environments where decisions carried financial, reputational, and human consequences. I worked with renowned global institutions including JPMorgan, EY, KPMG, and BDO, and later as an independent consultant advising founders, family businesses, and investors across the Middle East and India. These were settings where decisions around capital, growth, and risk were made under pressure and with long-term implications. Over time, what stood out to me was not the complexity of the decisions themselves, but the internal strain carried by the people making them.

What stood out was never the complexity of the decisions - but the internal strain carried by the people making them.

The Turn

That observation led me to formal training in psychology and neuroscience. I hold a master's degree in Psychology and Neuroscience from King's College London, completed with distinction, and I am a member of the British Neuroscience Association. This work did not replace my earlier experience - it gave it depth and language. It helped me understand why highly capable, experienced people often struggle not because they lack insight or discipline, but because unexamined patterns quietly take over under pressure. This is where my work sits today - at the intersection of decision-making, money, and cognitive load.

What I Do

The people I work with do not need to be told what to do. They are intelligent, experienced, and already operating at a high level. What they often need instead is a thinking partner - someone who can help them slow down the noise, unpack what is really driving a decision, and create enough mental space to hear their own thinking again. My work focuses on helping people clarify what they want to do and what they need to do, without being prescriptive, directive, or condescending. I work by unpacking layers carefully, noticing patterns, and creating clarity where things have become internally crowded or conflicted.

How I Work

My approach is grounded, reflective, and non-prescriptive. I do not offer financial advice, therapy, or performance coaching. I work through conversation, structured reflection, and careful observation. The focus is on noticing what is already operating beneath the surface - because patterns that are seen clearly lose their automatic grip.

From My Writing

When your money isn't really yours
We don't talk about money
Rethinking money this New Year

Our money decisions are deeply intertwined with the money values of those closest to us. Logic, as we use it, often justifies our existing money dialogues.

Silence around money doesn't remove its impact. It often reshapes decisions, relationships, and responsibility in unseen ways.

Managing money is hard for almost everyone. What makes it harder is the denial of the weight it carries. What makes it easier is knowing that the ability to handle the weight can be learned.
