My Approach

My clinical approach is existential-analytic, drawing on phenomenology, existentialism and psychoanalysis. In practice this means I pay close attention to how you experience your own life, including the assumptions and patterns that shape that experience, often outside your immediate awareness. I try to understand your situation on its own terms, informed by phenomenology's attention to lived experience and psychoanalysis's interest in what remains unconscious.

My academic background is in philosophy of existentialism, and I often draw on art, music and visual culture in sessions, particularly with clients whose work or sense of identity is bound up with creative practice.

An initial meeting gives us both a chance to see whether this way of working suits you, before deciding whether to continue.

About Me

I work with clients affected by depression, anxiety and trauma connected to relationships and family life. I also work with creative professionals and students dealing with creative block or performance anxiety. In our early sessions we look together at what is holding you back, aiming for a clearer picture of your situation and what would need to change for you to live differently.
