About me
As a dedicated and compassionate psychodynamic therapist, I am here to help you navigate the complexities of your inner world and promote lasting personal development.
When you choose to embark on this therapeutic journey with me, you will enter a safe and judgment-free space where you can openly examine your thoughts, feelings, and past experiences. Together, we will delve into the underlying causes of your difficulties and seek to understand the patterns that may be holding you back.
Through psychodynamic therapy, you will gain valuable insights into yourself, your relationships, and the unconscious influences that shape your thoughts and behaviours. This heightened self-awareness will empower you to make intentional choices, break free from unhelpful cycles, and cultivate healthier coping mechanisms. You will acquire the skills and understanding needed to face life's challenges with resilience and authenticity.
Whether you're struggling with relationship dynamics, low self-esteem, or simply seeking a greater sense of well-being, our collaborative efforts can significantly enhance various areas of your life. By addressing unresolved conflicts, childhood experiences, and unconscious patterns, you will improve your emotional regulation, communication skills, and self-acceptance.
I also specialise in providing therapy for members of the expatriate community who may be dealing with adjustment disorders, work-related anxiety, homesickness, feelings of separation, and the challenges of cultural adaptation.
I am here to support you on your unique journey of self-discovery and healing. Together, we will unlock your inner potential and create meaningful, lasting change. Take the first step toward a deeper understanding of yourself by scheduling a session with me.
I look forward to accompanying you on this transformative journey.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have completed extensive training in psychodynamic therapy, and I have a Diploma Level 5 in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from the Manor House Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling and a Certificate in Working Therapeutically with Couples from the International Society of Psychotherapy and Counselling.
I have experience working with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds and with many emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, struggles with identity and many more. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care and strive to create a welcoming and affirming environment for all my patients.
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.
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.
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.
Black, African and Asian Therapy Network
