About
I am a British existential-analytic psychotherapist, registered and accredited with the UK Council for Psychotherapy. I trained in the UK to UKCP standards and now offer psychotherapy for English speakers in Lisbon as well as online sessions for clients in other locations.
As an existential psychotherapist, my approach is phenomenological. This means therapy is tailored to each person, taking into account their specific needs and difficulties without relying on labels or diagnoses.
I prioritise the therapeutic relationship, while my practice is influenced by existential, psychoanalytic, and postmodern thought. This integrative approach allows me to draw on different perspectives as appropriate for each person and their unique circumstances.
Short-term work can support you through periods of acute distress or crisis and may naturally lead into longer-term therapy. Longer-term work offers space for deeper exploration of your life, relationships and recurring patterns.
I began my own therapeutic journey as a client and believe psychotherapy can create a unique relationship that supports a person’s ability to free themselves from the influence of past events and present experiences.
Training
Experience
I have over a decade of experience supporting people through a wide range of complex emotional and relational situations - from anxieties and depressions to trauma, abuse, grief, identity questions and periods of significant transition.
