My approach is grounded in existential psychotherapy, which means therapy begins with your lived experience rather than diagnostic labels or fixed interpretations. I work with people experiencing anxiety, overthinking, emotional disconnection, burnout, relationship difficulties, chronic pain, and a more general sense of feeling stuck or uncertain about how they are living.
Therapy is a collaborative process of making sense of patterns, emotions, and ways of relating that may no longer feel sustainable. Alongside existential psychotherapy, I also draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), particularly in relation to anxiety, avoidance, and repetitive thought patterns.
I am an existential psychotherapist working with adults online and in-person. Before training as a psychotherapist, I studied philosophy and psychology, with a longstanding interest in how people make sense of themselves and their experience, particularly during periods of uncertainty or change.
I trained in existential-phenomenological psychotherapy at the NSPC in London and also have training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have worked in NHS services, charitable organisations, and private practice, including specialist work in chronic pain at St Thomas’ Hospital.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
