I work with individuals experiencing personal crises, major life transitions, and emotional challenges—including anxiety, grief, stress, depression, anger, relationship struggles, and questions of meaning and self-worth. I work face-to-face and online under supervision with people who are facing difficulties and challenges arising from significant life events and changes. These include issues such as loss of meaning, anxiety, stress, depression, anger, relationship difficulties and questions of self-esteem and self-worth. I help clients deal with difficult family relationships, partnership tensions and break-ups, personal difficulties in finding a more ‘stable’ life, and the conflicts and anxieties that accompany these challenges. Before focusing on psychotherapy, I spent over two decades in the commercial field involved with sales and marketing, eventually launching and managing my own enterprise in the food-processing technology. This long chapter of entrepreneurial and business engagements inform my perspective, that helps me understand the intense pressures, diverse challenges, and inner struggles that people grapple with when navigating high-demand workplaces or coming from different cultural and personal backgrounds. I am interested in how existential movement and psychotherapy can contribute to meaningful social change. I’m passionate about researching how psychotherapy can contribute to social change and foster a better world. I’m a founder and co-editor of the Journal of Integrative Psychotherapy and Systemic Analysis, an associate member of the Federation for Existential Therapy in Europe (FETE), and a student member of The Society for Existential Analysis (SEA) in London. My Approach
My practice is grounded in the existential approach, helping individuals to navigate life’s challenges creatively, actively and reflectively and to rediscover their sense of meaning and purpose. I intend to support them in experiencing a renewed sense of aliveness, whether for the first time or once again. My approach is caring, supportive, empathic and collaborative, with an emphasis on what I call authentic presence, emotional resonance. Personally, I do not consider therapy a kind of mystic process; it is an open and honest conversation about life. We will then work together to explore your situation and contradictions in search of clarity and solutions that align with your true self and your values. The life transitions, whether personal, relational, or emotional, quite often constitute a category of events that often make people feel ungrounded, anxious, and sometimes even overwhelmed. These feelings emerge through anxiety, depression, or confusion. Instead of focusing solely on symptoms, I see them as indicators of one’s disconnection or distorted perception of reality. We will explore these feelings to find not only alleviation but a deepening of insights and new ways to approach life. Throughout our conversations, I will encourage you to focus as much on the present and future as on the past. Even a deep understanding of the past doesn’t always tell us how we want to live now, or what we may desire for our future—often central questions we’ll explore in therapy. This is an opportunity for you to understand better what you really want from life, while at the same time accepting both the limitations and possibilities it has to offer. A process that will help you live more intentionally, taking responsibility for choices and finding deep satisfaction in these very day-to-day moments. While the foundation of my practice is existential psychotherapy, I incorporate other modalities of practice, informed by my academic background and a host of professional experiences. This enables me to formulate an individualised, client-centered approach that will uniquely meet the needs and issues for each person. My goal is to help you sort through personal difficulties, improve your relationships, and effectively manage stress and anxiety. My Practice

Existential counselling for business
In today’s fast-moving business environment, it takes more than hitting targets or changing behaviors. Deeper questions of meaning and authenticity arise, reflecting how personal values and professional roles intertwine. My existential approach creates a safe, reflective space for exploring these challenges. Rather than quick fixes, we’ll uncover the “why” behind each decision, the responsibilities that follow, and a sense of clarity so your work aligns with who you truly are. Lecture, Training, and Experiential Workshops
I offer lectures, seminars, and experiential workshops to increase understanding, facilitate growth, and offer pragmatic tools for professional and personal development. These sessions will be specifically crafted for professionals and organisations looking to cultivate a deeper connection, meaning, and purpose in how one engages in his or her life and work.
