Meeting you where you are.

I love life. But I didn't always.

There have been periods in my own life when I suffered deeply, and times when the weight of that suffering made me question whether I wanted to continue. Those experiences have shaped the way I understand people, pain and the possibility of finding meaning.

One of the thinkers who has had a profound influence on me is Viktor Frankl. His work reminds me that, even when circumstances are outside our control, there remains a space in which we can choose how we meet them. For me, his ideas are not simply philosophical. They have become part of how I try to live.

Frankl also turned the question of meaning around: rather than endlessly asking what life should give us, we can ask what life is asking of us — and how we want to respond with our own lives.

Now, in my thirties, I can say that I love my life. I love dogs, I love my partner, I love people, and I have discovered a sense of meaning that feels deeply my own. I don't see this as having reached some final destination. Meaning continues to change, deepen and reveal itself through the way we live.

This is part of what draws me to psychotherapy. I feel privileged when someone allows me to witness their journey — especially the process of moving from simply getting through life towards discovering what makes life feel meaningful, connected and fulfilling for them.

My background in Psychology, Sport & Exercise Psychology and Gestalt Psychotherapy has given me different ways of understanding people and their experiences. My work in Systemic Family Constellations has added another lens through which I can explore the relationships, histories and systems that shape us.

Ultimately, I don't believe therapy is about telling someone how to live. It is about creating a relationship in which there is enough safety and curiosity to discover what matters to you, what you need, what may be holding you back, and what kind of life you want to move towards.
