Existential Psychotherapist

I'm an Existential Counsellor and Psychotherapist, currently completing a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology. Over the last years I have worked across various Community Mental Health Services, Charities and within the NHS.

My therapeutic approach is primarily informed by Existential Phenomenology, yet I also integrate principles from Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. This allows me to offer a flexible approach that is responsive to your individual needs, considering the context in which your challenges and distress arise.

I intend to approach your experience with compassion, openness, and curiosity, meeting you wherever you are in your unique journey. I aim to facilitate a therapeutic space where you can safely explore relationships you have with yourself, with significant others, with the past, and your aspiring future.

This process can involve working through emotional experiences from the past that continue to burden and overwhelm you in the present. Together, we can revisit these in a new light and aim at deeper understandings that can help you with beginning to create meaningful changes in life. As Kierkegaard said "Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards".
