My Approach to Existential Psychotherapy London sits at the intersection of Existentialism and Systemic Family Therapy.
I work with individuals, couples, families, and young people (12+).
Whether you come alone or with someone close to you—a partner, a parent, a sibling—my Existential Psychotherapy London service offers a safe, reflective space where understanding, compassion, and growth can unfold.
As a specialist in Existential Psychotherapy in London, I do not view distress as something to be “fixed” or a pathology to be cured. Instead, this therapy supports you in understanding how you are living, relating, and making sense of your experiences.
We often find ourselves confronted by the ‘givens’ of existence: the inevitability of change, the responsibility of choice, the search for meaning, and the reality of our limitations. When we try to avoid these difficult truths, we often experience anxiety, low mood, or a sense of inauthenticity.
By exploring these deeper questions of being human—meaning, freedom, anxiety, and how we navigate uncertainty—we can move towards a more authentic way of living. This approach invites you to take ownership of your life, acknowledging both the freedom you have and the limitations you face.
Informed by the Association for Family Therapy, this approach often complements my work in Existential Psychotherapy London. It looks at how our emotional experiences are shaped by the relationships and systems we live within.
None of us exist in isolation. We are born into families, cultures, and communities that shape our beliefs, values, and ways of relating. Systemic therapy explores these invisible threads—the patterns of interaction, communication styles, and intergenerational narratives—that influence how we relate to one another today.
Rather than seeing difficulties as residing solely within an individual, we explore the context. By understanding the roles we play and the scripts we follow, we can begin to shift stuck dynamics and foster healthier, more open communication within our most important relationships.
Starting Existential Psychotherapy in London can feel like a significant step. Our work together begins with an initial consultation, which serves as an opportunity to meet, discuss what brings you to therapy, and determine if we are the right fit for one another. This initial meeting is a two-way process; it is just as important that you feel comfortable and safe within my Existential Psychotherapy London clinic as it is for me to assess how I can best support you.
Following this, we will establish a regular time to meet each week. This consistency creates a reliable ‘frame’—a secure boundary within which you can feel safe to explore difficult or vulnerable feelings. The duration of our Existential Psychotherapy London work can be open-ended or time-limited, depending on your needs and what we agree upon together.
In our sessions, there is no set agenda. You are free to bring whatever is on your mind—whether it is a pressing crisis, a lingering memory, a dream, or a vague sense of unease. My role is not to give advice or tell you what to do, but to listen deeply and work collaboratively with you to uncover new perspectives.
Over time, this process of shared inquiry can lead to profound shifts. You may find yourself developing a greater capacity for self-reflection, a deeper compassion for yourself and others, and a renewed sense of agency in your life. Whether we are unpicking past traumas or navigating present-day challenges, the goal of Existential Psychotherapy London is always to help you live more fully and authentically.
