I do not currently have availability. From time to time openings arise in my practice. I offer a 15 minute introductory phone call to discuss your needs and my practice. Should we agree it is appropriate I can add you to my waiting list for when that availability arises.

I am a qualified existential psychotherapist working 1:1 with adults. I aim to work with you in a therapeutic relationship as a whole person rather than separate from the challenges which prompt you to seek support. I have a particular interest in identity as it evolves over a lifetime and is impacted by relationships and life events. I have experience in working with grief, trauma, abuse and clients bereaved by suicide, boarding school syndrome and family estrangement as well as other challenges (see below). In addition to my private practice I work for an NHS Trust in Hammersmith & Fulham and BUPA in Marylebone. In conjunction with my client work I am excited to extend access to counselling services in Hammersmith & Fulham by building and developing a local Low Cost Counselling Service.

Existential therapy seeks to bring greater understanding to the client of their own experience of and meaning in life. Considering you as a whole person, your physical and emotional feelings, thoughts,  context and meaning hopefully brings to you, the client, more self-awareness and space to identify and articulate your needs and hopes in order better navigate yourself in your life. I seek to bring compassion, challenge and support to you and our sessions as we explore a way forward.

I offer online sessions and in person sessions in Hammersmith. My practice is located a short, 6 minute, walk from Hammersmith Tube Station.

Considering engaging in therapy can be daunting; there are so many unknowns. There are practicalities like where, when and cost to consider. There are also crucially important questions of whether you feel safe, can trust me and feel that we communicate well together. Please email me to arrange a time to speak and gather a sense of how we might communicate.

Ahead of a first session I offer a free 15 minute explorational conversation. If we decide to proceed, we would form a view together in the first 4 sessions of whether we wish to work in a time limited or open ended way.
