How I work

I aim to create a therapeutic space founded on a relationship of trust, curiosity and openness. A space led by you and all about you, exploring your situation, your perspective and your suffering. I specialise in existential therapy and have training in psychodynamic and humanistic therapy, which means I can adapt to your individual needs. Existential therapy is grounded in a philosophy which considers the difficulties of human existence and that each individual has an entirely unique perspective on these difficulties. It pays attention to issues about our relationship with society and others, uncertainty, freedom, limitation and time.

How this can help

Many people seek therapy because they feel stuck or overwhelmed, they may find themselves in a painful situation that they can no longer make sense of alone. You may feel uncertain or uneasy, things may seem meaningless and unfair, you may feel that you are going in circles and wonder what to do with your past experiences or the time ahead of you. Voicing your concerns to someone who is willing to hear can change the way that they appear to you. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can help us to make sense of our world, to understand ourselves and the situation we find ourselves in, to alleviate the suffering that this may cause, and to navigate the future.

What I offer

I currently offer online, open-ended therapy, which means that you can access my services for as long as you need. I understand how important it is to feel able to trust that that therapy can help. I strive to be compassionate, humble, curious and open minded to foster this trust so that we can deeply explore your reality. I can offer you a confidential space to talk and to reflect on your past and present with body and mind, remaining curious about your lived-experience and the meanings you find within it. This often, but not always, involves connecting with difficult emotions and experiences that you feel unable to voice elsewhere. I can provide you an opportunity to express these safely and in your own way, whatever that entails; rage, tears, laughter…

My Experience

I have worked in mental health for 4 years, with experience working with individuals from a variety of cultures, communities and sexualities, with concerns including anxiety and depression, relationship and family difficulties, bereavement, childhood trauma, estrangement and disability.

I have a particular interest in anxiety, relationship difficulties, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ and gender related concerns. 

I offer a free consultation session for us to converse and see if we’re a good fit. This may involve discussing your reason for coming to therapy and what your expectations for therapy are.
