About me
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with over a decade of experience working with adults on a one-to-one, weekly basis. Whatever my clients bring, I’m passionate about supporting people to live whole, fulfilling, creative lives.
Psychodynamic therapy subscribes to the idea that events in our past, which may or may not be consciously known to us, could be impacting the way we relate to people and the world around us in our present. Clients come with a wide range of emotional difficulties. The ways we are affected by, and deal with adverse life experiences are unique to each individual. I provide a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space in which we can learn more about what you’ve been through and navigate a way through it. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at WPF Therapy, one of the UK’s leading institutions for academic and clinical practice and hold a post-graduate diploma in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I maintain a high standard of service through continued professional development courses, and I’m accredited by the UKCP.
Some issues may be long-standing and may require what we call open-ended therapy, and others may result from a particular traumatic event or series of events. Having worked within the London Metropolitan Police Service, I have experience helping clients to process traumatic events using a focused, short-term model.
Prior to embarking on my formal training I ran groups for people with mental health difficulties in the charity sector.
