About me
I am an existential psychotherapist offering a warm, collaborative space for you to reflect deeply on your experience of life. A registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I bring ethical integrity and an open, curious approach grounded in existential philosophical thinking.
My approach
Existential psychotherapy sees anxiety, paradox, and relational complexity as inevitable parts of being human. An existential approach does not seek to avoid discomfort; rather, it views suffering as a valuable source of insight. I am committed to a non-pathologising approach that supports you in exploring what your pain might be trying to communicate.
By cultivating greater awareness, we begin to see more clearly the choices available to us. Existential psychotherapy invites us to reflect on our lives and how we relate to the world, and to consider new ways of being that open up possibilities beyond entrenched relational patterns that can so often make us feel stuck.
I believe that we come to know ourselves in relation to others. I view the therapeutic relationship as a mirror for how you relate to yourself and others, and a safe space to explore these dynamics. Through this process, you and I will reflect not only on your inner world but also on how aspects of social identity - such as gender, sexuality, race, or class - affect the way you navigate life and relationships.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked with a broad range of clients across private practice, the NHS and the voluntary sector, gaining experience with diverse perspectives and developing a strong commitment to inclusive, socially aware practice. I am LGBTQ+-affirming and kink-positive, welcoming clients of all genders, sexualities, and bodies. I hold a Master of Professional Studies in Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling and a Graduate Certificate in Psychodynamic Practice. I am currently completing my doctorate in Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling.
Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
