About me and my therapy practice
Do you need 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 meaningful way.
My approach is existential, which does not judge emotional suffering but looks instead at how you uniquely experience the world. I will help you explore your life experience in terms of your relationships; your identity; and your values, choices and sense of purpose.
Whether you come at a time of distress with a particular difficulty, or have reached a stage when you want to deepen your understanding of yourself, I offer 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 concessions for counselling and psychotherapy trainees and people with low income.
