To transform our lives, we need to understand better what we're working with. So often we habitually push away the difficult and uncomfortable aspects of our experience which only leads to more suffering. Therapy is an opportunity to reverse that tendency as we open out to our lives as lived. As we explore our inner world, with all its mystery and complexity, the patterns that shape our lives begin to reveal themselves. With a dedication to be with whatever reveals itself, possibilities will emerge. And, as your therapist, it is my commitment to be side-by-side with you through that process.

I offer a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental space for whatever you want to bring. Clients come to therapy for all manner of reasons. What unites those who embark on the journey is a readiness to look at what's there.

My practice is rooted in existential phenomenology which means we work together diligently to uncover and understand your experience. As we confront the challenges you might face, however tricky, we will explore the possibility of a life with more freedom and meaning. 

I integrate some of the other modalities I have studied, particularly Buddhism, which I practice and teach. I don't believe there is any template for therapy, each session should be a dynamic, alive encounter that challenges and renews.

I provide an initial session free of charge, which gives us an opportunity to discuss your needs and expectations, and to decide whether to begin therapy together. If you would like to enquire about an initial session, or if you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

I currently only have slots for online work. I will have further in-person slots starting September 2024. 

Knowing where to start with therapy can feel daunting. We can find ourselves caught in patterns that no longer serve us but unsure of where to begin. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore the inner workings of our minds with depth, curiosity, and commitment. Through the process, we make choices that lead us towards more openness, purpose, and freedom.

The space I offer is supportive, confidential, and nonjudgmental. I will not attempt to diagnose you. Instead, we will explore your lived experience together so you can better understand how you inhabit the world and how you want to live. 

Life is often painful, and therapy presents an opportunity to use those struggles to deepen our understanding of the world and grow. The ultimate aim is for you to be able to let go of stories that no longer serve you so you can live in accordance with what you truly believe. 

My training is rooted in existential theory, but my practice is integrative, drawing from the range of modalities I have been taught. In my spare time, I practice Buddhism and teach meditation, which we can explore together if it sparks your curiosity. I am also currently finishing a doctorate that examines the process of change after powerful psychedelic experiences. 

I offer a free initial half-hour on Zoom, which allows us to explore your needs and get a sense of whether we'd work well together. If you are interested in an introductory session or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
