It allows me to draw from person-centred, existential psychotherapy, reality therapy, psychodynamic, and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and providing the best routes for your individual needs.
When searching for a therapist/ starting therapy, it can be a daunting experience but extremely liberating once you begin your journey. As a qualified integrative psychotherapist I offer a welcoming, warm, safe space where we explore the challenges you have been facing and seek the best strategies that may support you to find relief, whether this is for a short while or longer term, I am able to journey alongside you. It is very important to me that my clients feel respected, heard, understood, and validated. I see every client as a person of worth, in need of support and understanding to heal and move forward from their difficulty.

I am trained in several methods of counselling including CBT, psychodynamic and humanism and we will choose what fits you.

Existential Counsellors
How does existential therapy work?
Existential therapy focuses on a patient’s inner experiences. The therapist tries to help the individual comprehend and alleviate symptoms by exploring their interior life. By confronting negative disquiet and emotions, the individual will hopefully become more open to finding meaning and purpose. This therapy can be administered to individuals or groups.
Is existential therapy evidence-based?
Existential therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has determined that existential therapy can lead to significant improvement in the mental health of patients, and for some people it can be just as effective as cognitive behavioural therapy. The benefits of existential therapy are enduring, even long after treatment has ended.
How long does existential therapy last?
The goal of existential therapy is to understand a person’s internal experiences, which may sound like a lengthy process, but it does not have to be so in-depth. However, sessions are not short-term, and therapy can continue for months or up to a year. And because patients learn the theory behind existential therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is existential therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with existential therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving feelings of isolation, feelings of purposelessness, as well as conditions such as anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can persist even after the end of existential therapy, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve developed during treatment.
