About me

I am passionate about psychotherapy as a means to effect real and lasting change. After many years’ consideration and experience I decided to pursue a professional career as a therapist.

I chose psychodynamic therapy as it strongly resonates with me. My experience has shown me that the psychodynamic approach is highly effective in getting to the heart of what can be troubling someone, and engender a long-term, sustainable change.

I believe that our earliest experiences shape the way that we relate to others in later life. Having the space to explore this in a non-judgmental way can be a transformative and helpful experience. Therapy is valuable if you are currently in a crisis or find that you would like to deepen your understanding of yourself and the way you function in the world.

You can expect a confidential, safe and highly professional relationship in a caring and containing environment allowing you to explore past and present difficulties. We will use the relationship that develops between us to understand how you relate to others in a wider context. It can be difficult work, but ultimately a very rewarding experience.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have undergone four years of study to gain my qualification in Psychotherapy, and am academically trained at one of the most highly regarded institutions in London, WPF.

I have over ten years experience of working as a therapist in number of different settings, including working in the NHS and co-facilitating a group working with addictive behaviours.

I am also available for supervision.
