About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I am a qualified and accredited psychotherapist and counsellor with 22 years' experience of working with a wide range of issues. I have a down-to-earth approach to therapy and counselling and am committed to providing a comfortable, respectful and safe space for you to begin talking.I can work with you for long or short term psychotherapy/counselling and we can meet in person, on the 'phone or online. Online sessions offer more flexibility if, for example, you work shifts, travel for work, work from home or have mobility issues.Many people who take up therapy or counselling find their difficulties hard to define or describe - perhaps things just don't feel right, you feel lost or disconnected? You don't need to have a particular issue or problem to come and talk to me . I hope that the information displayed on these pages will answer some of your questions - if not, please telephone or email me - this will place you under no obligation. Alternatively, you could arrange to meet me for an introductory meeting - this will give an impression of how it may be to work with me.

Experience and approach:

Existential psychotherapy is an approach informed by existential philosophy, concerned with making sense of the world in the face of challenges that we all experience and our own particular difficulties and circumstances. In our work together I will listen carefully and encourage you to find your own answers to the questions that you face, according to your own values and beliefs. It is my job to help you with this exploratory process - to offer you the opportunity to reflect on your life and and to consider things in the light of the possibilities and limitations of your own situation.

The sessions involve sitting together for reflection and dialogue. I ask that you are as honest as possible throughout the process and that you use the time to reflect on anything that is important to you. It may be the first time you have spoken about something and I recognise that this takes courage. That's why it is so important to feel safe with whoever you are going to work with. I recommend looking around before you decide who you want to have that experience with.
