My Approach

Are you looking for somebody to help you explore and understand your life in confidence? My style is collaborative and open-minded, and my hope is to help you discover new opportunities to live your life in a more personally fulfilling way.

I practise existentially, with a focus on helping you to develop resilience, manage change and realise your unique possibilities. This will involve helping you to explore your lived experience in terms of your relationships; your emotional well-being; and your values, choices and sense of purpose so that you can come to understand yourself more fully.

Whether you come at a time of distress with a particular difficulty or have reached a stage when you want to deepen your self-knowledge, I will provide you with a safe and supportive space where you can begin to make sense of whatever is troubling you.

• I am committed to ethical and non-discriminatory practise.

• I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation by Zoom, Skype or phone so we can see if we're a good therapeutic fit.

* I enjoy working with trainees and currently teach on the foundation module at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling (NSPC)

* I offer supervision to trainee/qualified therapists

* I work with a number of insurance companies including Axa, WPA, Aviva, Vitality

* Modality - Existential, Integrative, Humanistic

About Me

I have trained in a wide range of therapeutic approaches including CBT, person-centred and phenomenological and I will draw on these to provide the most effective therapy for you. I have over 10 years' experience working with clients in the NHS, women’s and men’s counselling services, a hospice, a bereavement agency, a perinatal mental health charity and a cancer support centre.

In addition to the issues listed under 'What I can help with', I also work with life transitions and negotiating change; and with non-traditional relationships and kink-positive lifestyles.
