My Approach

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that before anything else we are human beings trying to make sense of living. I see therapy as a place to explore what it means to be alive ( our past , present and future all linked up) - our choices , relationships, challenges, freedom, uncertainty , purpose and the search for meaning.
Life can be part of what shapes us and invites us to discover something about ourselves. I believe in meeting you with curiosity, openness and compassion,
creating a safe enough space to be honest and vulnerable .
I experience therapy as an attitude to trusting the therapeutic relationship, to allow space for what emerges and make sense of together.

I am offering online psychotherapy to adults and young adults over 18 years old.
I look forward to hearing from you : counselling26@hotmail.com

About Me

I am registered with the UKCP as an Existential Psychotherapist. (MA). A student who studied with Regent's University.
I like to embrace what life brings. Living can bring deep heartache and deep joy.
I believe that we're part of something bigger than ourselves, which can be hard to describe.

I have experience with the NHS as a Nurse/Midwife and a life lived across different countries and cultures around the world since childhood. These experiences bring a particular depth and groundedness to my work, and have shown me how to be alongside the most vulnerable, uncertain and transformative moments in life.
They have shown an ability of how to listen deeply with curiosity, remaining present with vulnerability and uncertainty, and to hold both the fragility and resilience of being human. Moving between countries and communities has shown me that there are many ways of being human, to be open with difference and an appreciation of how profoundly our environment can shape who we are and how we become too.
