Zoe Doran

I am available in person on Tuesdays and Thursday, and online Mondays and Wednesdays, but online sessions can be more flexible in terms of day and frequency. 

Hi, I'm Zoë and I'm a relational-existential psychotherapist.

Dealing with the ongoing unrest in the world alongside our own personal battles can often feel like too much to hold. I view therapy as a space to share the load, to untangle yourself, and to make sense of who you are and where you're going. 

I work integratively, which means I weave together relational psychodynamic therapy and existential therapy. I'm interested in how you exist in relation to others and to the world around you. This approach works particularly well for people who are confronting questions of meaning, purpose, identity, and experiences of existential anxiety and detachment.

Having an awareness of the systems and structures we live within is another important part of my practice. We cannot separate who we are, and the problems we face, from the world around us. My approach tries to help you to see yourself not just as an individual but part of a larger collection of people, places and histories. I draw from the fields of psychoanalysis, decolonial feminist studies, critical theory and the arts to help me do this.

My fees are £60 per weekly session and I work in-person at Hackney City Farm and online, nationwide.

After an introductory call we will arrange an initial session of 50 minutes charged at my normal rate. This gives you a chance to get a better feel of what working together might be like before making a decision to go ahead with regular sessions. 

There is no commitment to a particular number of sessions, we will continue for as long as you need.
