My Approach

The existential approach is a philosophical approach to exploring and understanding human issues. At the core of the work is a focus on engaging with people’s subjective experience and a search for understanding and meaning. An existential therapeutic approach provides a way of understanding human issues without pathologizing or medicalising them. It aims to explore your experiences in a receptive and open manner. It is the framework through which I approach my work psychotherapeutically and the lens through which I view client’s problems.

About Me

I work mainly from an existential and relational approach based on client needs. I am interested in how clients experience their uniquely embodied lives. I am passionate about engaging clients in proactive and creative ways rather than adhering to fixed structures. I offer clients a therapeutic and reflective space where they can explore, describe, clarify their feelings, thoughts, and experiences, so that they can make sense of them, consider their impact and explore their options for moving forward. I work on both a time-limited and open-ended basis.

Special Interests

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.

My experience in bereavement includes work within a bereavement counselling charity service and in NHS trusts - psycho-oncolgy and ICU.
I am experienced in working with health settings, for example, in the NHS (psycho-oncology - cancer related and ICU psychology - acute illness).
I am an experienced practitioner and have over 20 years working with children, young people and families.I specialise in working with parents, particularly mothers. I have worked at a family support service where I counselled parents experiencing issues transitioning to parenthood. Moreover, I am currently working on doctoral research, which is focused on the lived experiences of mothers who were separated from their mother through boarding school. This involves a detailed examination of mother’s experiences -physically, relationally, emotionally and psychologically.
I am experienced in working in the areas of bereavement and loss, postnatal counselling, and parent-child and couple issues as well as emotional difficulties.
