About me
I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy for individuals and couples seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the emotional patterns that shape their lives. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, trauma, life transitions, or a sense of feeling stuck, therapy provides a space to explore what lies beneath the surface with curiosity, compassion and care.
My approach is relational and collaborative. Together we will explore how past experiences may continue to influence your present, helping to make sense of recurring patterns, emotional struggles and ways of relating to yourself and others. Rather than offering quick solutions, I aim to create a safe, reflective space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be understood at your own pace.
In couples therapy, I help partners move beyond cycles of conflict and misunderstanding by exploring the deeper emotional needs and vulnerabilities that often remain unspoken. The goal is not to determine who is right, but to foster greater understanding, connection and emotional intimacy.
People often describe feeling deeply listened to, rather than analysed or judged. I believe that meaningful change develops as people begin to understand themselves differently, finding greater emotional freedom and building more authentic relationships with themselves and others.
At the heart of my work is the belief that understanding ourselves is an ongoing process rather than a destination. Through a therapeutic relationship that values curiosity, reflection and the capacity to think about emotional experience, it becomes possible to make sense of experiences that once felt overwhelming, loosen the grip of old patterns, and discover greater freedom in how we live and relate to others.

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.
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.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
