Psychoanalyst & psychoanalytic psychotherapist UKCP, CP-UK

About me

Our lives are full of contradictory forces and unseen structures: language, obligations, ideals, bodies, families, impulses, strange desires. In unnoticed but powerful ways, they shape us. Where they conflict or overwhelm us, we suffer.

Through speaking to another, it may become possible to recognise these forces, set them in new motion, unknot things that are tangled up, think, do things differently, create.

Psychoanalysis enables you to gain a radically different perspective on who you are and what you want, enabling you to gain relief from suffering and re-assess your life. It doesn't give a standard solution, it gives you time to work out one particular to you.

This is what I aim to enable you to do.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a member of the Guild of Psychotherapists, a full clinical member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) within the College for Psychoanalysis and Jungian Analysis (CPJA), and a member of the College of Psychoanalysts UK(CP-UK).
