My background is rooted in philosophy, which led me to train as an existential psychotherapist. I hold a BSc in Psychology from Middlesex University and a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, and have also worked in the charitable sector with organisations including Mencap and Victim Support.
I work in private practice with individuals and couples, focusing on lived experience — including values, family and relational patterns, identity, relationships, and questions of purpose and meaning.
I offer a warm, respectful, and honest approach to therapy, grounded in open dialogue. Rather than focusing on quick solutions, my work centres on helping you explore what feels true and meaningful for you. Together, we build a trusting and confidential therapeutic relationship, creating a safe space to reflect on your experiences and existential concerns.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. Our first session offers a gentle space to explore what has brought you, what you’re hoping for, and any questions you may have. It’s also a chance for us to see whether working together feels like the right fit for you.
