Experience and approach:

I aim to support you and also encourage you to face what’s difficult, understand your choices and live more confidently in line with your values. Existential therapy helps you see how you create meaning , or avoid it and why. It invites you to take honest responsibility for the choices you make, avoid, or tell yourself you’re making. It is a relational, grounded therapy focused on living in good faith: meeting your life and your conscience with courage and authenticity.
