My aim throughout therapy is to help you voice your struggles and better make sense of them. Within this, my approach is one of trust, collaboration, engagement and non-judgement in a relaxed, supportive yet active atmosphere.

Working in this way offers you the opportunity to clarify experiences, tell your story, gain insight and reflect on your situation. Your courage and willingness to be open and honest will be an important part of the work. You will open out a better understanding of yourself, your power to choose, your limitations and possibilities.

What I am describing here is my take on some of the ideas of existential psychotherapy, which provides the broad foundation for my practice.

Existential psychotherapy and counselling are characterised by the exploration through talking of how a person lives their life, considering the meaning they give to their experience and what they do and don’t value. In this way, what is implicit in us is made explicit; and the client better learns to take a more active role in their own life through making more informed choices.

I am LGBTQIA+ friendly. I am friendly to all.
