How I work
My approach is relational, exploratory, and depth-oriented.
Therapy can allow you to slow down and pay close attention to your life and experience. Together, we explore what is present, what may lie beneath the surface, and what might need attention or change.
Starting with your lived experience
My role is not to impose answers, but to help you explore your life more honestly and clearly. We begin with what you are living: your difficulties, relationships, history, and the way you understand yourself and your world.
Some people come with a clear issue in mind. Others arrive with only a vague sense of distress. Therapy can help give shape and language to something that has not yet been fully understood.

New ways of being
Therapy works through the relationship as much as through insight. Feeling heard and understood can make it possible to approach parts of yourself that may have been hidden or difficult to bear.
At the same time, therapy also needs to be challenging. Part of the work is to notice patterns and coping mechanisms that may no longer serve you, even if they once helped you survive.
Exisential psychotherapy
My work is informed by existential philosophy, phenomenology, and psychology. It attends to the deeper questions and tensions that shape our lives: freedom and responsibility, choice and uncertainty, intimacy and separateness, mortality, and the search for meaning.
This means I try to understand your difficulties in the wider context of your way of being in the world. I am less interested in asking, “What is wrong with you?” than in asking, “What are you living through?” and “What makes life worth living for you?”
A tailored approach
I do not work from a one-size-fits-all method. Some people need space to reflect and make sense of long-standing patterns. Others need help staying close to painful feelings they usually avoid. Others come with a specific crisis, conflict, or decision and want to understand what is at stake more deeply.
Therapy never moves in a straight line. Some sessions may feel clarifying and energising; others may feel more uncertain or more emotionally difficult. What matters is staying with something long enough for it to become clearer.
Open possibilities
Change often begins in being able to feel, think, and speak about your life in a different way. Therapy cannot remove all pain or uncertainty from life. But it can help you understand yourself more deeply, loosen old patterns, and live with greater clarity and freedom.
