If you are struggling with unresolved emotions, anxiety, depression, or patterns in your life that seems beyond your control, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a powerful tool for investigating the impact of our past and present experiences on our feelings, behaviours, and intentions in life.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a relational journey of self-exploration. As a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where to understand deep-rooted issues and foster lasting change.

Through our work together, we can uncover the underlying causes of your challenges, helping you gain insight, develop healthier relationships, and achieve personal growth.

In therapy we will be exploring:

·      How your past experiences impact you in your present and your relationship patterns.

·      How you are affected by your family and friends, as well as social groups and systems.

·      How these things may play out unconsciously in your daily life, in ways that you may not be aware of.

In the past decade I have worked in the social care and mental health sector, particularly with autism and learning disabilities, as well as doing counselling charitable work with elderly people. Besides working as psychotherapist in private practice, I offer counselling to students at a university and personalised mentoring.

I specialise in areas relating to anxiety, panic attacks, addiction and compulsive behaviours, depression, disability, neurodiversity, trauma, childhood trauma, abuse, PTSD, relationship issues, sexual problems, bereavement and loss, loneliness, feeling stuck, attachment issues, self-esteem, anger, work and financial related issues, physical illnesses and age-related issues.

I work extensively with neurodiversity and artists, exploring expression in its complexity, as well as existential exploration.

Often we feel intimidated by the idea of pursuing therapeutic work however, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy can also offer a fruitful and safe space for thinking and reflection, while dealing and addressing everyday challenges and stress.

I offer 50-minute sessions of short (12 or 20 sessions) and open-ended work, in person, online, or telephone if required.  

My fee for clinical services is £85. I am open to discuss a reduced rate based on your financial circumstances.

I welcome you to get in touch to arrange a 15-minute consultation free of charge, so we can determine whether we are a good fit.

Neglect, arts and expression, existential exploration, illnesses and age-related problems.

Our initial consultation is a 20-minutes phone or Zoom call, free of charge. It will serve to explore any presented issues and see whether we are a good fit.

If otherwise, I will do my best to address you towards a therapist or therapeutic approach that best fits your needs. 

My fee for clinical services is £85. 

If you are in a situation where you cannot afford the full fee, we can discuss a reduced rate, please don't esitate to get in touch for further information.
