About me
I’m a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with adults, offering a steady and compassionate space to explore what’s been difficult, confusing, or overwhelming.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re not used to talking about yourself or you’ve spent a long time holding things together on your own. My aim is to make those first steps feel a little easier. People often come to me when they’re feeling stuck, disconnected from themselves, or unsure why certain feelings or patterns keep repeating.
In the space I offer you can bring uncertainty, contradictions, or feelings that don’t make sense yet, and through a working alliance we can figure them out together.
I practice psychodynamically, which is often called “the talking therapy”. Through communication, the therapeutic work will focus on trying to understand how your childhood experiences, current issues and patterns of thinking can shape and impact feelings that may be difficult to access.
If you’re interested in starting, I’ll send a short questionnaire and we can arrange an initial consultation to get a sense of how we might work together and whether therapy feels right for you.
I offer online sessions to people all over the UK and I am able to see people face to face in Brighton and Hove.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have trained rigorously to meet professional and ethical standards.
My training includes:
• Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy (University of Brighton)
• Clinical Qualification in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (British Psychotherapy Foundation, London).
I have been practising for around five years in a charitable clinic, working with a wide range of emotional difficulties and life experiences. My approach focuses on recognising emotional patterns, exploring past experiences, and bringing difficult or unconscious feelings into awareness so they can be understood rather than carried alone
Due to my cultural background, I can offer sessions in both English or French.
My education and work experience in addition to psychotherapy is in humanities and working for the community.
I am a member of both the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). I adhere to their ethical framework.
