Beginning therapy can feel daunting, but therapy is about understanding, not judgement.

I aim to create an environment of curiosity and collaboration as we explore your reasons for seeking therapy at this time. As I aim to better understand you and your particular dilemmas, you will, I hope, also begin to understand yourself more clearly. As this happens, both what is most important to you, and the choices you have, might seem a little clearer and less overwhelming.

Talking about the things which matter most can be one of the most difficult things to do, but it also tends to be one of most rewarding.

My training has predominantly been in the existential modality. This has a philosophical basis, rather than a medical one. This means that I avoid medicalising, or pathologising, client issues. Instead, I work together with clients to understand their issues from a human and sometimes philosophical perspective. The fundamental idea is that even the most complex experiences are understandable in these terms if we can discern how a particular person is meeting their particular environment.
