Therapy at the depth of the questions you actually carry.
Existential and psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults navigating identity, relationships, desire, midlife, masculinity, anxiety, and the architecture of selfhood.
Existential
Working with freedom, finitude, isolation, and meaning — the structural conditions of being a self in time.
Psychoanalytic
Listening for what is repeated, defended, and unsymbolized — the unconscious patterns that organize a life.
Integrated
Theory does not run the room. The work is led by what is alive in the consulting space, between two people, this session.
Common entry points
Relationships
Intimacy, repetition, the shape of love beyond romance.
Desire
What you want, what you cannot want, and what wants you.
Midlife crisis
Not a crisis but a structural recalibration of the self.
Masculinity
Inheritance, fatherhood, authority, vulnerability, force.
Anxiety
As signal, not symptom — what it is trying to make visible.
Selfhood
The slow project of becoming someone you can live with.
How therapy begins
[ Process ]- 01
Initial enquiry
A short written note about the moment you are in and what brings you to therapy now.
- 02
Introductory session
A first 50-minute meeting to test fit, frame, and whether the work belongs here.
- 03
Frame and contract
Weekly cadence, day and time held for you, full confidentiality, and a clear therapeutic agreement.

Ongoing work
Weekly sessions over months or longer — depth therapy is a process, not a transaction.
- 05
Closure
Endings are worked through, not dropped. The work has an arc and a considered ending.
Frequently Asked
