For life to be full and meaningful we have to identify the unique mix of elements that are congruent with our context/reality, our relationships, our true self and our purpose. I work with clients on issues of life purpose / meaning, loss and grief and relationships. I am here to walk beside you, to help you live a life of your own design so you can say yes to life. I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists (ACCT).

It is your task to define what makes life worth living, and to create your own identity. On your path, you are confronted with tasks, like work and intimacy, and challenges, like loss (divorce, death, unemployment etc). You have to walk your own path. I am here to support you for those times when you need someone to walk beside you.

Despite failed relationships, humans seem driven to seek them out. How can you make this one different than the last? Perhaps by viewing conflict as an important part of the process. When you work through conflict together you learn to trust each other without blaming and without abandoning.

If you are seeking to understand your relationships, what your deepest values are, and who you are, I provide a safe place for you to explore these questions. If you have suffered through the experience of needing to hide your authentic self, we can collaborate to discover the life you are meant to live. I would like to help you be the author of the next chapter of your life story. I am interested in hearing your experience of life and learning how you move through the path set out before you. Together, we’ll tap into inner resources to help you on your journey and explore core values that will illuminate the steps ahead.

My formal training in Existential Analysis helps me to accompany you in your own unique experience of life. I help clients work through inner conflict using parts work and IFS. I’m trained in Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration (PHRI). I can help you integrate the beautiful and challenging experiences from your psychedelic journeys.

My motivation is to be a helpful guide. I work primarily from an existential lens. This means that I am interested in how life is for you. I am keen to learn about your likes and dislikes, your feelings and values, and your sense of justice and purpose. I’ll work with you to explore what is fulfilling to you.
