What I do
A counselling psychologist is trained to doctoral level in multiple schools of psychotherapy (existential, cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic and person-centred). My specialism is in existential therapy.
I offer a safe, straightforward, warm, and analytical space to people in London and around the world.
My clinical experience is in NHS, bereavement and community services, and I work with clients of all kinds in my private practice.​
My research and practice sees people transforming their lives into therapeutic experiences, on their own terms, outside the therapy room. Existential therapy is a radical and creative practice, brave in its honesty and generous with its energy. You can take the practice home with you.
​
Alongside my clinical practice, I teach psychotherapy and I give talks and workshops for groups who would like to bring existential practice into their work and life. I write novels about trauma and recovery, and I write non-fiction about therapy.​​​
