Psychotherapist

When life looks fine — but never feels quite right.
You might be active, capable, and outwardly successful. You manage responsibilities, think a lot, try hard, and keep going.

And still — anxiety hums in the background.
Your mind doesn’t switch off. You overthink conversations, decisions, and yourself.
No matter what you achieve, it rarely feels enough.

Many people I work with say things like:
“I’m doing well, but I feel lost.”
“I don’t have a reason to complain — yet I’m constantly tense.”
“I look confident, but inside I’m exhausted.”
Often, there’s uncertainty about what this actually is.
Some people wonder whether it’s anxiety, burnout, or something deeper. Others feel that nothing is “wrong enough” — and yet something clearly isn’t right.

Therapy can be a place to stay with this experience a little longer — not to fix or label it too quickly, but to understand what’s happening beneath the constant pressure. For many people, the first relief comes not from solutions, but from making sense of what they’re living with.

Some people come wanting clarity, not therapy.
Sometimes the first step isn’t treatment, but understanding yourself more honestly.

I work with adults (roughly 25–45) who function well on the outside but struggle with anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt, or a sense of inner emptiness. Often, there is a feeling of living on autopilot — doing what’s expected, while feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure what actually matters.
How I work

In our work together, we focus on:   
— understanding anxiety and overthinking rather than fighting them
— loosening harsh self-criticism and internal pressure   
— reconnecting with your values and sense of direction    
— building inner support that doesn’t depend on achievement or approval

I place particular importance on a steady, trusting therapeutic relationship — a space where you don’t need to impress, explain yourself perfectly, or be “worse” to deserve support.

My main approach is existential analysis, supported by cognitive-behavioural therapy when helpful. In practice, this means we don’t only work with symptoms, but with meaning, values, inner conflicts, and how you relate to yourself and your life.

I work with clients online, offering a confidential and convenient space. Each session costs £80.

You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy. Often it begins with a quiet sense that life could feel more grounded — and more like your own.

If any of this resonates, you’re welcome to get in touch. We can start with a conversation.
