About me
As a psychodynamic therapist, I provide a safe and welcoming place for you to explore the roots of emotional challenges and work toward lasting growth. Together, we will look at your thoughts, feelings, early experiences, and relationship patterns to better understand what shapes your choices and actions. A typical session might involve open discussions where you freely express your thoughts and emotions, while I guide you through reflection and exploration of memories. This approach can uncover underlying patterns and provide insight into your current emotional challenges, helping you create a comfortable, prepared environment for your journey.
I listen with empathy to help you become more self-aware, manage your emotions, and move past unhelpful patterns. You will learn about relationships, the role of self-esteem, and how you handle challenges. Through therapy, many clients often experience positive changes, such as improved relationships, reduced anxiety, and enhanced self-confidence. This process can help you find the confidence and clarity to make changes that match your values, empowering you to lead a more fulfilling life.
If you want to understand yourself better and make lasting changes, I invite you to schedule a session. You can book a session by calling our office, sending an email, or filling out the online form available on this website or on my website. I look forward to supporting you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am currently pursuing a professional doctorate in the field. I hold a master's degree in psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy from the University of Essex and a diploma in psychodynamic therapy from the Manor House Centre for psychotherapy and counselling.
My research project explores transferential dynamics in therapy between a Black female adolescent and her Black female therapist in a school, focusing on how shared racial identity shapes therapeutic processes. The goal is to understand how this shared identity affects outcomes and informs culturally sensitive psychodynamic practice.
In my clinical practice, I have completed over 500 hours of supervised clinical work with individuals and couples. This experience encompasses a diverse range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and identity and adjustment challenges. I have engaged with various populations across multiple settings, including schools, low-cost psychotherapy centres, and private practices.
I continue to engage in regular professional development and training in theory, case formulation, and therapeutic techniques.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
