About me
Existential, Embodied & Relational Psychotherapy
Carrying emotional pain, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or caught in repeating relationship patterns that insight alone hasn’t resolved? Many people come to therapy after years of reflection, effort, or even previous therapy, yet something deeper still feels unresolved.
I help individuals, couples, and people in other relationship constellations explore these patterns through an existential, felt, and relational approach. Together, we slow down and work with what is happening beneath the surface, so change can emerge not only in thought, but in how you experience yourself, your relationships, and your life.
Approach
My work is grounded in the understanding that difficulties such as anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, or relationship problems are not simply cognitive. They are shaped by lived emotional and bodily experience, attachment history, personal values, beliefs, and the relational and cultural worlds we inhabit, often in ways that are complex, layered, and not immediately visible. I draw primarily on existential analysis and logotherapy, supported by wider psychological and philosophical traditions.
This approach focuses on core human needs such as safety, belonging, connection, authenticity, freedom, and meaning. I also integrate somatic, psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and archetypal perspectives, working with both conscious and unconscious processes.
My experience includes working with anxiety, anger, depression, trauma (including PTSD and CPTSD), attachment and relationship difficulties, and issues around intimacy, sexuality, and desire.
Alongside my clinical work, I bring over 20 years of experience in senior management and consultancy roles, informing my understanding of the pressures, responsibilities, and inner tensions that often accompany high levels of performance and complexity.
Therapy with me is collaborative and reflective, offering a grounded, non-judgemental space where complexity is welcomed rather than reduced. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, we explore what has shaped you, what matters to you, and how you want to live and relate, with greater clarity, presence, alignment, and inner consent.
Our Work Together
We begin with a complimentary 30-minute discovery call, offering us the opportunity to get a sense of how it feels to speak together, learn about your challenges, and explore the potential of our collaboration in service to your therapy journey.
The first session offers a space to slow down and begin exploring what brings you to therapy, at a pace that feels right for you. You don’t need to have clear answers. We’ll focus on what feels most important and begin to sense whether this way of working feels supportive and aligned for you.
In our subsequent work together, we explore how your experience of safety, belonging, authenticity, and meaning shapes the way you meet yourself, others, and the world. By staying close to what you feel and what matters to you, space opens for more conscious choice and a way of living that feels more truthful and aligned.

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.

Additional information
The pricing of my sessions is structured on a sliding scale from £90 to £150 per hour for individual sessions, and £110 to £170 for couples sessions, inviting individuals of varying affluence to engage in a conscious reflection on the value they place on our shared journey. This model respects your autonomy in determining the worth of our collaboration, harmonising the exchange with both your resources and the depth of transformation you seek. Beyond this, the structure serves a greater purpose: the contributions from those who are able to pay higher rates facilitate a broader inclusivity. This approach allows me to offer concessions to individuals from less affluent backgrounds, ensuring that financial limitations do not obstruct their path to meaningful support. By participating in this model, you contribute to a system of equity and accessibility, fostering a therapeutic space where financial barriers are softened, and all voices can be heard. This shared commitment not only enriches our individual journeys but also upholds a collective responsibility, promoting a deeper sense of communal care and mutual enrichment.
