Online Existential Therapy. Sessions begin on the hour. Am/pm. 7 days a week.

“Life is nothing until it is lived. It is we who give it meaning, and value is nothing more than the meaning we give it”.

(Jean Paul Sartre).

I work existentially with individual clients and couples. The trusting relationship we build in our online therapeutic space is central to our time together as we explore the challenges and feelings you experience. Often change, choice, feeling lost or anxious, relationships, loss and the limitation we experience are at the heart of the therapeutic work we do. 

How do we want to live in the world in which we find ourselves where all is shifting and sometimes difficult to grasp?

Discovering your unique response to your concerns is our focus. I assume I do not know, but I will always meet you with a sense of you and your individuality as we work together.

I am completing my doctorate in Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling. I work existentially and though not exclusively, I work exploring issues of anxiety, confidence and change particularly with in sports people, actors, singers, dancers, teachers and people involved in performance.

                                            “MeWe” therapy.

Existential Therapy is the opportunity to “look again” at one’s experience and step beyond today’s familiar notions of disorder, dysfunction, brokenness and labels.

To explore your values, anxiety, confusion, fears, choices, and what is important to you now, through dialogue and description, rather than focus upon historical causes is the essence of our work.

This path isn’t always comfortable. How we recognise our values, choices and limitations and how we manage the unpredictability of change and difference is profound but it is the beating heart of our therapeutic space.

“MeWe therapy” offers individuals and couples this opportunity to explore safely and confidentially through all dilemmas together. To gain understanding, courage and perspective generated by your own exploration and vision is our goal.

                        “MeWe” is my privilege and our challenge.

 The online experience offers flexibility and opportunities to meet that may be impossible were sessions only face to face. Research and my online client work has born out the efficacy of these sessions.

It is important to ensure all sessions take place in a comfortable, confidential and private space for you. I will maintain such and ask that you too are clear the space you have allows you such privacy.

Sessions will be conducted through the Zoom platform.

A session lasts 50 mins.

Cancellations: at least 48 hours notice must be given by email before the scheduled start time to avoid being charged for your session.

Fees: £80 / €88 per 50 min session (including initial session) by bank transfer prior to session.

English speaking clients.

Sessions 7 days a week, incl. evenings beginning on the hour.

Discuss and book an initial paid appointment and discover whether "MeWe" may provide you with the space and therapy you seek.

Sessions begin on the hour. Am/pm. 7 days a week.

Existential Therapy is the opportunity to look again at one’s lived-living experiences with fresh eyes and step beyond notions of disorders or dysfunction.

What if nothing is wrong, but how to live better and differently is the focus?

We explore values, anxiety, confusion, sense of meaning or meaningless, fears, uncertainty, choices through dialogue.

This path isn’t always comfortable. Often it's tough. How we navigate the unpredictability of change, difference and creating meaning is profound. It is the heartbeat of our therapeutic relationship.

“MeWe therapy”, offers you the opportunity to dialogue safely and confidentially, to gain greater understanding, hope, courage and perspective.

I will listen and work with you until I am superfluous.

                                               “MeWe”
                                                journeying

Legend has it in that 1975, boxer Muhammad Ali was invited to give a commencement speech to 2000 Harvard students. At the end of which a shout of “Give us a poem, Muhammad”, led to what may be one of the shortest English language poems. His response: “Me, We” or perhaps, “Me…Whee…”.

In this resonates fundamental understandings of existential, phenomenological psychotherapy: situated freedom and choice, interconnection, relational life.

Philosopher Martin Buber, describes this relation as “I-thou”. Hence, the "MeWe" of our existential therapeutic space seeks to embrace this understanding and “encounter you as a person, not as an object” (Buber. 1923), or in non-European-centric philosophy, “I am because we are, since we are, therefore I am. I am because of who we all are”, (Ethic of Ubuntu). It is this core "MeWe" relation I aim to nurture in our therapeutic space, to encourage your meaningful experiential and therapeutic journey.

 The online experience offers flexibility and allows opportunities to meet that may be impossible were sessions only face to face. In my experience since the Covid pandemic, online work within the therapeutic community has proved popular for clients and often preferred. Research and my own online work has born out the efficacy of these sessions.

It is still important to ensure all sessions take place in a comfortable, confidential and private space for you. I will maintain such and ask that you too are clear the space you have allows you such privacy.
