I primarily work with a style of therapy called existential psychotherapy.

This form of therapy is grounded in existential philosophy. As such, it does not seek to interpret the challenges of human existence through the lens of disorder or illness. Instead, this approach connects us to the existential concerns and dilemmas we all face as part of being human, and invites us to notice, describe and honour our unique ways of responding to these human dilemmas.

As part of this approach, we will practice taking a phenomenological stance to your experiences. Without overcomplicating it, this means taking the time to pay attention to and describe what you are experiencing in the present moment. Slowing down in this way might challenge us to remember and consider what you have experienced in the past and how this history shapes our way of perceiving things now. It might push us to find new language that more precisely captures what you are experiencing. It might lead us toward unexpected forms of emotional expression.

I also integrate intersectional feminist, queer and de-colonial therapy perspectives into my work. These are all lenses that recognise that we live inside oppressive histories and complex power relations.
