Existential philosophy and psychotherapy addresses difficulties, by focusing on the individual’s experiences, avoiding generalised labels, and challenging socially constructed ‘norms,’ helping us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves. By doing so, it enables us to explore our way of being in the world and make choices that resonate with our unique expression of self.

Existential psychotherapy bridges the gap between Western and Eastern wisdom, illuminating areas of ‘meaning’ in our lives. It helps us determine purpose in the ordinariness of every day, freedom within life’s limits, and the courage to stand in our choices and face limitations. Inherently diverse and inclusive, this modality of psychotherapy is a liberating force in itself. My approach to existential psychotherapy also centres the body, paying attention not only to thoughts and words, but to the ways experiences can be sensed, held and expressed physically, allowing multiple aspects of self to inform our understanding.
