I’m an existential psychotherapist and chartered psychologist. My work is about helping people find clarity and courage when life feels overwhelming or confusing. Therapy with me is warm, thoughtful, and practical: a space where you can bring the full complexity of your experience and be understood in all your dimensions: mental, emotional, relational, physical, and even philosophical or spiritual. Clients come to me with anxiety, trauma, depression, dissociation, or panic. Others are living with ADHD or autism. Still others feel stuck, isolated, or caught in patterns of anger, fear, addiction, or meaninglessness.
Wherever you're starting from, our work together will connect the difficulties of the mind with the realities of your embodied life, so that change becomes possible on every level.
My approach combines depth with directness. You won’t just be listened to – you’ll be supported to see yourself more clearly, to develop new ways of relating to what troubles you, and to move forward. Over time, many clients describe a growing sense of being more truly themselves: better able to face challenges, and more connected to others.
