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 am a chartered counselling psychologist (BPS member and registered with HCPC). 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.
