Experience and approach:

My intention is to be your supportive ally, whilst also encouraging and challenging you to find the personal strength to face your difficulties, understand your choices, and live according to your personal values with more confidence and honesty. Existential therapy can help you understand how you construct meaning or how you evade it and why. It can help you face up to the choices you make, don't make, or kid yourself that you are making. It is a robust therapy with an emphasis on living in 'good faith' more than you live in 'bad faith.' These concepts describe the type of authentic or inauthentic living when we either hide from our conscience and our human condition, or we accept the choices we make and the consequences that inevitably, and sometimes unexpectedly, flow from our choices.
