About me
As a psychodynamic therapist, I offer a safe, welcoming space to explore the roots of emotional difficulties and work toward lasting change. Together, we'll explore your thoughts, feelings, early experiences, and relationship patterns to better understand what shapes your choices and actions.
In a typical session, you're free to talk about whatever is on your mind. I'll help you reflect on what comes up, including memories and feelings that may not seem connected at first. Over time, this can reveal underlying patterns and help you better understand what you're struggling with now.
I listen with empathy and without judgement, helping you become more self-aware, manage difficult emotions and move beyond patterns that no longer serve you. Many clients find that therapy brings positive changes, such as more satisfying relationships, less anxiety and greater self-confidence. My hope is that you'll find the clarity to make changes that reflect your values and lead a more fulfilling life.
Supervision for trainees
I also offer supervision. Good supervision gives you a space to bring your uncertainties, mistakes and strong reactions to clients, not just your successes.
Drawing on psychodynamic thinking, we'll explore what happens between you and your clients, including transference, countertransference and the feelings the work stirs in you. I'll also support the practical and ethical side of practice: formulation, risk and safeguarding, boundaries and working within all associations' ethical frameworks. I'm happy to help with course requirements such as placement hours and supervisor reports, and I welcome everyone from all backgrounds and training orientations.
Getting in touch
Whether you're looking for therapy or supervision, I'd be glad to hear from you. You can call, email, or use the contact form on this page or on my website to arrange an initial session. I look forward to hearing from you.
I can accept payment through health insurance.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Senior Accredited Counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a registered member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I hold a Diploma in Psychodynamic Therapy from the Manor House Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling and a Master's degree in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Essex, and I am currently completing a professional doctorate in the field.
I have over 500 hours of supervised clinical experience working with individuals and couples across schools, low-cost psychotherapy centres, and my private practice, addressing a broad range of presentations, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and issues of identity and adjustment. I continue to engage in regular professional development and training in theory, case formulation, and therapeutic technique.
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.
