About me

If you imagine an old-fashioned linen cupboard - in most cases it won't be super tidy, but the doors will close and most things will be more or less in the right place. But if things are muddled, falling off the shelves and the doors don't close, then perhaps it will help to get everything out and have a sort through.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a journey which can be bumpy at times. The aim is to understand at the deepest levels what is going on. The psychotherapist goes on the journey with the patient, and this relationship becomes important. It is a kind of laboratory where things can be examined in the moment and close-up.

I work with patients intensively, twice or three times weekly, as I believe this is the deepest way to understand and hopefully effect change.

I like to have three consultation meetings so that with the patient so that we can think together about what will be the most helpful treatment for them going forward.
