About me
I work as a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist to help adults who are struggling in their lives with emotional difficulties, particularly in their relationship with others. It is an isolating and anxious time, having to manage what can be overwhelming feelings, with nowhere to place them
We often find ourselves living in a stressful world which can take its toll on our mental wellbeing.
Such difficulties invariably reach back to childhood experiences that may have been traumatic or neglectful. These can have a lasting and profound effect which can persist into adulthood and shape how we view ourselves in the world of work and personal relationships.
Finding a therapist , can seem a daunting task. Therapy is not always an easy path to tread, it takes courage to face what might seem like painful memories, as well as difficult current experiences. Therapy can make us feel vulnerable, and it is vital that you work with someone you feel you can fully trust and feel safe.
I work from my home to provide a safe and empathetic space to help clients explore, reflect and process their life experiences and present problems. Over time the working through of behaviours that have become problematic and where conflict has become an obstacle can be shared together. The process of growth, understanding and awareness of the oneself will hopefully help to better manage emotional responses and resolve some of those that troubling feelings that led you to seek help.
Please get in touch if this approach feels like a good fit for you. I offer an introductory assessment session for an hour and a quarter to explore if this way of working would be suitable for you. If we choose to work together, I provide both short and long term therapy, in person, on a once a week basis, or more frequently if necessary. Each session is 50 minutes long.
My fee is £70 for both the assessment and therapy sessions.
I have substantial experience and training in providing professional supervision for practicing Counsellors and Psychotherapists - examining clinical material from both the clients and therapists points of view.
