About me
I'm an Accredited Psychodynamic Psychotherapist with over 21 years of experience supporting people with a range of mental health and emotional difficulties including anxiety, depression, loss, divorce, family issues, relationship problems, separation, abandonment, rejection, identity, work-life (bullying, harassment), childhood trauma and adverse childhood experiences, parenting, personal growth and development.
I have also worked with clients with complex mental health needs including in psychiatric settings within the NHS.
I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy, which explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence your thoughts, feelings and relationships today. Alongside this, I also use humanistic and person-centred approaches, creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as you work towards personal growth and emotional wellbeing.
I've been working with the Mentalisation Based Therapy (MBT) approach for two years with people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
When words are hard to find, creative therapies can help you express what feels impossible to say. I offer creative therapy sessions that include music therapy, art therapy, body psychotherapy, and group therapy. These approaches can be especially effective for people living with personality disorders, autism, ADHD, and other forms of neurodivergence, helping you connect with your emotions, improve self-understanding, and find new ways to heal and grow.
I'm recognised as a kind, compassionate, non-judgmental practitioner with an openness to providing tender care and support to those with mental health difficulties. My main strength is insight into a clients process and dynamics even if they are not always readily seen by yourself.
