About me
I offer face to face, telephone and video online psychotherapy.
I am an experienced qualified Psychodynamic Psychotherapist registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council offering in-depth and short-term therapeutic treatment to adults.
I work collaboratively with adults with a range of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, self-harm tendencies and feelings of isolation.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is rooted in the concept of exploring unconscious mental processes and recurring patterns of behaving and relating which may be causing emotional and physical symptoms.It is a talking therapy aimed at developing awareness and understanding of unknown aspects of the self which feel vulnerable and which need care and expression.
Most difficulties were, at one time, adaptive solutions to life challenges which over time and changes in circumstances have become self-defeating. I work with you to develop an understanding of the relationship between your early developmental experiences in the context of current life mental health challenges. Habits of relating might be repeated in the therapeutic relationship and this can be thought about together. This is known as transference. Experiencing and reflecting on transference patterns in the therapy allows increasing awareness to open up and brings a ‘here and now’ dimension to the experience of therapy and the search for self-awareness and acceptance.We would work together to create a relationship that enables you to experience being understood which, in itself, generates a sense of security from which to explore your emotions more freely and confidently – freeing up the bonds to past experiences helps you to live more fully in the present and move towards a more satisfying, contented and fulfilling life.
My practice is located in London Bridge, in close proximity to the mainline and underground station. and nearby Borough Market In Fitzrovia, the practice is located a short walk from Goodge St and Oxford Circus tube stations.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a BA Psych, HDip Ed and PG Dip Psychotherapy. Prior to individual based psychotherapy, I worked in the business sector for over 15 years, most recently in the development of psychology based performance solutions within organisations.

Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
