Everyone can live a more fulfilling life, although thoughts and feelings make it easy to get stuck. I believe therapy offers space to take a step back and do our best thinking about 'whats working well?' and 'whats not working well?', when it comes to thoughts, feelings, and relationships. I work with people experiencing a wide range of difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations such as: anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, and low motivation.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by juggling all the demands of your busy life and you're constantly checking if you're enough to meet your own high standards or the expectations of others, then you're in the right place. No doubt you're starting to feel exhausted by the stress and anxiety that is building up inside you and you may have even adopted some unhelpful habits to help you cope.

Existential therapy focuses on freedom, responsibility, and the meaning of life coupled with a mindfulness based approach to alleviate anxieties and fears while working towards integration and self-actualization. We all need a tailored therapy just for us, which is why sessions are never limited by one approach. I also take inspiration from the psychoanalytic tradition through Horney and Kernberg as well as my foundational practice in CBT and ACT.
