Therapy offers a space to pause, slow down, and breathe. Toegther we begin to listen more closely to yourself and your experience. In the midst of uncertainty or difficulty, this space can become a steady ground from which to reflect, feel, and begin to make sense of what’s happening. I’m an existential psychotherapist based in Central London, offering both in-person and online sessions. My approach is relational and mindful, with an emphasis on exploring lived experience with compassion and curiosity. People often come to therapy because something feels stuck, heavy, or unclear. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-worth, trauma, sexual or relationship struggles, family issues, or have questions around identity and sexuality. Our work together can help you explore these experiences gently, at your own pace, so that you can begin to understand them more fully and respond from a place of greater self-awareness. How we work together will be unique to you. Some sessions may involve exploring your thoughts and feelings. At other times, we might bring attention to how you experience things in your body, or to what’s happening between us in the room. This reflective process can bring new understanding to long-held patterns and behaviours, and help you reconnect with your own sense of meaning and purpose. Whether you’re facing a specific difficulty or simply seeking space to reflect, therapy can be a place to meet yourself more fully, to breathe, feel, and begin to find a steadier sense of being in the world.
