About me

Existential Therapy: Exploring Meaning, Choice, and Authenticity

As an existential therapist, I draw on both my professional training and personal experience to help individuals explore the deeper aspects of their lives. I trained at Regent’s University, where I developed a thorough understanding of existential philosophy and therapeutic techniques. My approach focuses on the key themes of freedom, responsibility, meaning, and the human experience of uncertainty.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a radiographer in the NHS, where I spent many years interacting with people in moments of vulnerability and distress. This background has deepened my appreciation for the complexities of health, illness, and mortality, providing me with a unique perspective on how existential themes show up in everyday life. It also informs my compassionate, grounded approach to therapy.

In our work together, I aim to create a safe and open space for you to explore the existential questions that matter most—whether it's navigating personal transitions, dealing with anxiety or loss, or finding clarity in your purpose. I believe that confronting these questions with courage and honesty can unlock new possibilities, allowing you to lead a more authentic and fulfilling life.

By combining the rich insights of existential philosophy with practical therapeutic tools, I strive to help you connect more deeply with yourself, make empowered choices, and embrace the complexities of your journey.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
