Existential Counselling & Psychotherapy for individuals and couples
Blackheath & Virtual
Hello, I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and Counsellor, working full time in private practice and qualified since 2008. I offer counselling sessions from Blackheath, Southeast London (SE3), and online, offering long term, short term and Single Session Therapy interventions. I work with individuals and couples.
My specialisms are in ADHD and narcissistic abuse. I also have extensive experience working with binge eating, parental alienation, relationship problems and life transitions.
My interests in couples therapy include neurodiversity, communication, infidelity, and navigating life transitions together.
My practice is inclusive and affirming of all genders, sexual orientations, cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds.
If you're interested in learning more about my approach please feel free to reach out, and we can arrange an informal conversation.
My approach is Existential and Humanistic, grounded in your lived experience and how you make meaning in your world.
I take an active role in sessions, asking questions and offering gentle challenge to help you see things from new perspectives.
When suitable, I incorporate bodywork and inner child work to facilitate trauma healing and access deeper layers of experience that talking alone might not reach.
My Approach page explains my therapeutic approach in greater depth. There you'll discover how existential therapy addresses different life challenges and what our work together might look like in practice.
Specialisms
ADHD
I specialise in working with ADHD, approaching therapy by focusing on your unique experience rather than just diagnostic criteria.
My approach includes psychoeducation to help you better understand your neurodivergent mind, along with personalised strategies that build on your strengths. We’ll work to shift unhelpful narratives into a more compassionate and realistic view of yourself, accepting what you can’t change and focusing on what you can.
I also work with couples to explore how ADHD affects relationship dynamics.
For those seeking structured support, I also offer a 12-session ADHD Awareness & Strategies Programme.

Couples
Many couples come to therapy feeling unheard or misunderstood. I help you slow down, hear each other more clearly, and respond with intention rather than defensiveness or past wounds.
I work with a range of issues, including infidelity, trust repair, ADHD in relationships, and navigating major life changes. Together, we’ll clarify what each of you needs, where you’re aligned or in conflict, and how to move forward, whether that’s reconnecting, healing, or making big decisions.
I offer flexible options: long-term therapy, short-term support, and single sessions for immediate clarity.

Narcissistic Abuse
Narcissistic abuse can leave you doubting your reality, questioning your worth and sanity and feeling isolated in your experience. These are normal and valid responses to to a deeply destabilising form of psychological harm. Whether it happened in a relationship, family, workplace, or spiritual setting the effects are often deep and confusing.
I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where we can make sense of what’s happened and begin to rebuild your sense of trust in your own self and sense of reality. Using an existential and relational approach, we’ll explore your experiences, challenge internalised beliefs, and support you in reconnecting with your own truth and values. Together, we'll identify how you may have internalised the narcissist's critical voice and develop ways to reclaim your inner dialogue.

Other Issues
Existential analysis helps you explore the deeper roots of psychological and emotional struggles by focusing on the core aspects of human existence.
If you're dealing with anxiety or stress, it addresses not just the symptoms but the underlying existential concerns.
For depression, this approach encourages reflection on your values and what gives your life meaning, helping to lift feelings of hopelessness and disconnection.
It’s also particularly effective during major life transitions, such as career changes, retirement, divorce, empty nest, bereavement, or relationship difficulties, offering a supportive space to process change, rediscover purpose, and build emotional resilience.
