From time to time most of us will find ourselves being overwhelmed or confused by our experience of life.  Friends and family may be there to support us, but it may be helpful to talk to someone independent of your close circle.  It may even be, that those close to us are the cause of our difficulties.  I offer a different way of exploring life's struggles.  

You may have a very specific challenge you are facing, perhaps a loss, change of circumstance, or relationship difficulties.  Perhaps you are experiencing a more existential sense of feeling lost in life.  I can help you explore what is going on and help you to find a more settled and stable way of being.

We are all different, I bring in different skills to suit each person but my practice is underpinned by a grounding in existential philosophy this is backed up by a practical approach to what it is like to navigate life.  I come from a creative arts background, where appropriate I will introduce creative ways of exploring a client's world.  I find a playful curiosity is often a way of revealing parts of ourselves we have not been able to see before.  I offer an open but safe environment to find answers to life's challenging questions.

First sessions are charged at the reduced rate of £60.  Sessions are fifty minutes, once a week.  I offer online support as well as face-to-face sessions from my therapy rooms in Hertfordshire.  I am also able to offer sessions in central London.  

I work in London on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  On a Wednesday I work from my practice in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.

We are all different and yet still connected.  I bring different approaches to suit each person I work with but my practice is underpinned by a solid grounding in existential philosophy.  This academic study is backed up by a practical, and importantly relational approach to exploring each persons experience of navigating life with all its joys and struggles.  It is from this exploration of how we relate both to the world and those that live in it that we can find a way to understand ourselves and find clarity.  I come from a creative arts background, this gives me a particularly collaborative and imaginative approach to working alongside my clients.  I invite mutual respect and a shared open curiosity when exploring the client's experience of relationships and their world.  I find this is often a way of revealing parts of ourselves we have not been able to see before.  I offer a spacious, respectful environment to find answers to life's challenging questions.

I began my clinical training with a PGDip in integrative psychotherapy.  I then went on to complete my MA in Psychotherapy & Counselling following an existential-phenomenological pathway, before completing a further PGCert in Existential Psychotherapy.

Whilst working with an organisation in South Oxfordshire I was able to complete an adolescent training and go on to have experience working with young people over fifteen.  I also worked with a wide range of clients whilst volunteering for the mental health charity MIND

I have well established private practices in both central London and Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.

I offer a first session at a rate of £60.  This session is for you to see if I am the kind of therapist you would want to work with.  The session is 50 minutes, the same as a regular session.  It is a chance for you to tell me why you are seeking support at this time how you hope I may be able to help.
