My Approach

Existential-phenomenological psychotherapy helps clients explore the way they construe meaning and relate to others by focusing directly on their immediate, lived experience, rather than treating distress as a mental illness to be cured. While the “existential” side deals with people’s relationships with freedom, choice, mortality, and isolation, the “phenomenological” side attempts to unpack the client’s worldview, setting aside personal assumptions.

My practice is integrative in nature, drawing inspiration from multiple traditions including narrative therapy (how we tell our stories), intersubjective psychoanalysis (how we co-create meaning with others as well as the importance of early caregiver attunement), Gestalt (the significance of the “here and now”) and active imagination approaches (inner visualization exercises during sessions).

I hold a MSc in existential-phenomenological psychotherapy, having completed a five-year training programme with the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling (NSPC), which equipped me with a philosophical outlook on life and its unavoidable struggles. I abide by UKCP’s Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.
