About Me

I provide online psychotherapy from Bangkok to clients around the world, offering a confidential and supportive space to explore what you are going through. My approach is collaborative and grounded in existential psychotherapy, meaning that rather than telling you how to live your life, we work together to better understand your experiences, relationships, choices, and the things that matter most to you. I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and recognise that each person brings their own cultural, relational, and personal experiences into therapy. You may be navigating a difficult period, questioning aspects of your identity or relationships, feeling stuck or disconnected, or simply wanting a deeper understanding of yourself. Therapy can provide a space to slow things down, make sense of what is happening, and explore new possibilities. Together, we can develop greater clarity around how you want to move forward in a way that feels authentic, grounded, and meaningful to you.

Approach

My approach is collaborative, conversational, and grounded in existential psychotherapy. Rather than offering ready-made answers or telling you how to live, I aim to create a space where we can explore your experiences together and better understand what feels important, difficult, or unresolved in your life. Our sessions may explore relationships, identity, anxiety, life transitions, questions of meaning and purpose, or spiritual and existential concerns where these are important to you. I pay particular attention to how your experiences are shaped by your relationships, culture, values, choices, and the wider context of your life. Therapy moves at a pace that feels right for you. Through curiosity, reflection, and open conversation, we can begin to make sense of patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and explore ways of living that feel more authentic, meaningful, and aligned with who you want to be.
