I aim to offer a thoughtful and containing space where experience can be explored with honesty and care, at a pace that feels possible.
Areas I work with include;
Existential anxiety and loss of meaning
Complex emotional needs and relational difficulties
Trauma and its impact on identity and belonging
Shame, anger, dependency, and ambivalence
Life transitions, crises, and questions of direction
Longstanding patterns of distress
Way of working
Existential–phenomenological psychotherapy
Long-term, depth-oriented work and short term goal orientated work
Relational and reflective approach
Informed by Existential-phenomenological and psychodynamic thinking and drawing on systemic thinking combined with culturally sensitive and intercultural perspectives.
Grounded in supervision and ethical practice
Most importantly, I offer a warm, supportive space where you can reflect, grow, and thrive, both personally and professionally.
If you’d like to connect or feel I could support you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I am an existential psychotherapist with extensive experience working within NHS psychotherapy, talking therapies services and private practice. My work is grounded in existential–phenomenological and psychodynamic traditions, and I am particularly interested in how people make sense of their lives in the context of relationship, history, culture, and constraint.
I work with individuals experiencing complex emotional distress, longstanding relational difficulties, trauma, and periods of existential crisis. Rather than viewing distress as something to be fixed or managed, I see it as meaningful, often emerging in response to how a person has learned to live, relate, and survive within their world.
In therapy, I offer a reflective, relational space where we can explore lived experience as it is including feelings, patterns of relating, silences, tensions, and what unfolds between us. I pay close attention to themes such as meaning, identity, freedom, responsibility, shame, isolation, belonging, and uncertainty.
Alongside my private practice, I work within the NHS and have a long clinical background across psychotherapy, IAPT, crisis services, personality disorder services, early intervention (in psychosis), and liaison psychiatry. This experience supports my capacity to work with intensity, risk, and vulnerability while maintaining a stable therapeutic frame.
I value psychotherapy as a shared inquiry, shaped by curiosity, presence, and ethical responsibility, rather than technique or diagnosis. My work is supported by ongoing supervision, professional development and reflective practice.
