About me
Welcome to my existential psychotherapy practice, a space for authentic conversation, thoughtful reflection, expanded awareness, and meaningful transformation.
In therapy with me you'll have a chance to slow down and become curious about the life you are actually living, not only the story you tell about it. We can look together at what hurts, what keeps repeating, what you long for, what you avoid, and what may no longer feel true.
I work with individuals, couples, families, and people in diverse relationship structures experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a harder-to-name sense that something is missing, disconnected, or unresolved.
Our work is existential, embodied, and relational. I am interested not only in what has happened to you, but in how it shows up now, in your relationships, your choices, your body, your fears, your desires, and even in what happens between us.
How I Work
My approach is grounded in Existential Analysis and Logotherapy, while drawing on somatic and body-centred work, attachment and psychodynamic perspectives, Internal Family Systems and parts work, interpersonal neurobiology, and archetypal and transpersonal psychology. Integrated, these offer different ways of understanding your experience, including what you think and feel, what your body may be telling you, the parts of you that protect or hold back, and deeper patterns that may have developed throughout your life.
Our work can also make space for spirituality, consciousness, and the deeper questions of human existence. My perspective has been enriched by Western philosophy and psychology, Buddhism and Kashmir Shaivism, while our exploration remains grounded in your own experience, values, and worldview.
Therapy is not one person with answers fixing another with problems. It is a conversation in which we try to understand, together, how you have come to live as you do and what might now become possible.
Professional Background
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent more than 20 years in senior management consultancy. This gives me a first-hand understanding of leadership, workplace pressures, career transitions and burnout, and of how our professional lives can become intertwined with identity, relationships, self-worth, meaning and direction.
Personal Therapy
A space to explore anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, self-worth, identity, life transitions, and repeating patterns that may feel difficult to shift alone. The work focuses on understanding how your experience has been shaped, while creating greater awareness, choice, and freedom in how you live now.
Couples and Relationship Diversity
I work with couples and people in diverse relationship constellations around communication, conflict, attachment, trust, infidelity, jealousy, emotional distance, and recurring relational patterns. This includes monogamous relationships, polyamory, consensual non-monogamy, and other forms of relationship diversity. The aim is not to decide who is right, but to understand what happens between you and support more honest, responsive, and meaningful connection.
Trauma and Attachment
Trauma can continue to shape the body, relationships, emotions, and sense of safety long after an event has passed. I work with trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, attachment difficulties, and relational wounds, with careful attention to pacing, regulation, trust, and the ways past experience continues to live in the present.
Meaning, Identity and Life Direction
Sometimes the difficulty is harder to name: a sense of emptiness, disconnection, loss of direction, or uncertainty about who you are becoming. Existential therapy creates space to explore values, freedom, responsibility, belonging, authenticity, and meaning, and how you want to live in relation to them.
LGBTQIA+ and TNBQ
I offer an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ and TNBQ clients exploring identity, belonging, relationships, family, self-worth, sexuality, body dysmorphia, transition, intersectionality, or the impact of social and cultural expectations. Your identity is a part of the wider context of your lived experience, and we explore it from that angle.
Intimacy, Sexuality and Erotic Expression
I work openly and without judgement with questions around intimacy, desire, sexual identity, differing needs, shame, erotic expression, kink, BDSM, consent, and power dynamics. Therapy can offer a space to explore what feels authentic, safe, consensual, meaningful, and alive in your intimate and erotic life.

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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
