Existential Therapy

Who are you, really – beneath the masks, the expectations, the noise?

Existential therapy is a talking therapy that invites you to confront this question and live in closer alignment with what truly matters to you. It’s a depth-oriented approach that helps you explore life’s most fundamental concerns: who you are, what you value, and how you want to live. This is not about trying to “fix” you or pathologise your pain, but rather about understanding it so you can making meaning from it.

Here, Self refers to the deeper sense of who you are beneath roles, labels and inherited scripts. Reconnecting with your Self means getting honest about what matters to you and how you want to meet the world.

Why This Work Matters

Real change begins with deep self-understanding– we look not only at what you think or feel, but also at why you continue to live in ways that no longer serve you. You’ll be invited to turn toward parts of yourself you may have buried or silenced, and to examine the questions you’ve been avoiding, bringing them into focus so you can start making choices that feel more truthful, aligned, and your own. This isn’t passive work; it’s active, clarifying and deeply grounding.

You don’t find your Self, you create your Self, through reflection, intention, and the choices you make each day, so that over time you can live with greater honesty, presence and integrity.

When This Work Helps Most

Existential therapy is particularly powerful during moments that reshape your sense of identity. These may be visible transitions, such as ending a relationship, becoming a parent, losing someone you love, changing careers, or moving somewhere new. These shifts can bring joy, grief, disorientation, or a sudden unfamiliarity with the person you’ve become.

But often, it’s the quieter, invisible turning points that lead you here. Realising you’ve outgrown a relationship or belief system, feeling unseen in a role that once defined you, or questioning the version of success you’ve been living. It might be the disorientation of new parenthood and not recognising yourself or your partner anymore, the slow ache of friendships that no longer reflect your values, the experience of being a third-culture person, caught between places, never fully at home in any, or the quiet numbness of knowing you’re performing a version of yourself, just to protect others’ comfort.

These moments are often marked by burnout, a sense of disconnection from your own life, or the unsettling sense that the identity you show up in no longer fits. Life may look fine on the outside but feel hollow within, calling you to acknowledge that something needs to change.

What To Expect In Sessions

We slow down and make space to explore the truths beneath the noise. We look at the fears you avoid, the patterns you repeat, the roles you perform, the values you’ve inherited versus those you want to live by, and the responsibilities you’ve taken on, consciously or not. We explore how freedom, mortality, meaning and choice shape your relationships, decisions, and sense of direction.

I work relationally and somatically, paying attention not only to what you say but also to what remains unsaid. The body often reveals what the mind has learned to silence, through tension, disconnection, or instinct. My approach is direct, honest and compassionate. I support you in paying attention to your truth, your choices, and what they cost. This work can be confronting, but it’s also deeply rewarding.

Supporting Couples

I work with couples who want to move beyond blame, surface conflict and repetitive cycles. When one partner abandons themselves to keep the peace, it doesn’t create closeness; it creates quiet resentment and slow disconnection. Together, we explore how each partner’s relationship with themselves shapes the relationship you’re building together. Deep connection doesn’t come from losing yourself in another, but from staying rooted in your own truth while making space for your partner’s growth. The goal is a partnership where both people feel safe enough to be fully themselves, and secure enough to keep choosing one another, with honesty, presence, and intention.

What Sets This Work Apart

Existential therapy is not prescriptive; it’s not about quick fixes, symptom management or avoiding discomfort. It’s about telling the truth. I offer a space where you can listen more closely to yourself and help you make sense of what you find. My role is to guide that process, not with pre-set answers, but with presence, challenge, and care. Together, we attend to the whole of you: your thoughts, your desires, your body, your silences, and the meaning beneath them.

What You Can Expect To Gain

You will become more grounded, more intentional, and more attuned to what matters most to you. Existential therapy empowers you to live with greater self-trust, guiding you to make choices rooted in clarity rather than conditioning. The outcome isn’t perfection; it’s integrity and authenticity.

You begin to shape a life, and a Self, that reflect your values, your truth, and your capacity to choose how you want to live.

You only get one life. Make it yours.
