Welcome to my therapy website

Life and relationships can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ourselves. Whether you are facing long-standing distress, interpersonal conflicts, or life transitions, therapy offers a dedicated space to pause and reflect. I see the therapeutic task as building a deeper understanding of your situation and how it affects you, and becoming capable of move towards a flourishing in life.

I provide a secure, trustworthy, and non-judgmental environment where you can talk honestly about yourself and be understood by an experienced, impartial practitioner. The work proceeds entirely at a pace set by you.

What I offer

Individual Psychotherapy

Support for anxiety, life transitions, existential concerns, self-estrangement, and persistent patterns of emotional distress. Available on an ongoing or time-limited basis.

Relationship & Couples Therapy

Almost all of our joys and sorrows arise in relation to others. I work with couples and families to explore communication, resolve recurring conflicts, and deepen understanding of both the self and others.

Practice & Academic Supervision

Clinical and research supervision for experienced practitioners, counselors, and doctoral candidates working within relational and existential frameworks.

If you are new to therapy you might find some useful guidelines here

Letting go of illusions is the first step to being free from constant disillusionment with life. It is also the last step, perhaps the only step.

My principles of practice

Therapy works best in an atmosphere in which you can feel yourself being understood in a way that leads to a profound change in your own understanding of yourself. For this reason, I aim to hold the following principles of practice at all times:

- Confidentiality and trustworthiness
- Empathic listening
- Non-judgemental understanding
- Genuineness and reliability
- Facilitative dialogue and clear expression
- Secure professional boundaries

When happiness ceases, when crisis comes, freedom must press forward, not retreat - Søren Kierkegaard
