About me
As an experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist I work alongside you to help explore, overcome or better cope with what's troubling you.
Whatever you are facing, I am experienced in working with specific issues such as low mood, anxiety, depression, loss, loneliness, trauma and relational difficulties, as well as the many other challenges we encounter. I also work with people who feel curious to know more about who they are or want to reassess where they are in life. I offer a space to think about things together, to help you find your own way forward.
What can you expect?
The therapy is non-directive so you can determine the focus of our sessions. I work analytically and empathically, encouraging ‘free association’ where we explore how you are feeling and thoughts that come up in the process.
Providing a confidential setting to talk, the aim is to help you communicate more openly, to start to know your feelings and motivations and move forward with greater confidence. Importance is placed on early experiences and relationships and how they might impact us as adults both consciously and unconsciously.
Sessions are held at the same time each week, in person in Easton, Bristol or via Zoom and last for 50 minutes.
How do we get started?
You can call or email me with any questions or to set up an initial consultation via zoom or in person.

Member organisations
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.
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).
