My Approach

Seeking therapy and opening up to someone may feel daunting, but you have already begun the work by looking for a therapist and reading my profile. At whatever stage in your life, therapy is a dialogue which can bring greater self-understanding and new perspectives which can lead to a new chapter.

I hope to provide a supportive and collaborative space in which we are be able to explore together what may be hindering you. My way of working is relational, which means looking with curiosity at how we relate to one another and how this might reflect your way of relating to the outside world. You may be struggling with a particular issue or event, or feelings of being stuck. You may be repeating past unhelpful patterns which, whilst recognising them, feel hard to change. You may have experienced trauma which feels impossible to be freed from. Or it may be that you just feel that something is not quite right in your life, that you may not be living as authentically as you might and want to explore this feeling.

I work primarily as an existential therapist, namely I am interested in how you see yourself in the world, what it means to be you and what things are meaningful to you. I also work as an integrative therapist which means I can blend different modalities to suit you and what you bring. Therapy does not seek to treat or cure your difficulties but together we can deepen your understanding of yourself and become open to new possibilities. Gaining insight into your life and making small shifts can bring surprising change and growth.

If you would like to explore working with me, please get in touch and I will offer you a free 30 minute initial meeting online. If you then decide to work with me, we will meet once a week for 50 minutes on the same day at the same time.

About Me

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist with a Masters in Integrative Psychotherapy and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Existential Psychotherapy. I am registered with the UKCP and accredited by the Society of Existential analysis. Having grown up in different parts of the world, I am familiar with cultural diversity, and feelings of not belonging. Prior to my psychotherapy training, I studied Social Anthropology and worked in the financial and charity sectors.

Alongside my private practice, I work for a community counselling service with adults as well as with young people, a community youth centre and a NHS health centre.
