Psychodynamic Psychotherapist & Couples Therapist, MBACP

About me

I am a highly experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Couples Therapist, registered with the BACP, offering once or twice weekly psychotherapy for individuals and couples on both a short‑term and long‑term basis.  I work in private practice in both Wimbledon and Chichester.

My clinical background includes an extensive Psychodynamic training alongside six years of further specialist study in Jungian Depth Psychology. This dual training allows me to work not only with emotional and relational patterns but also with deeper symbolic processes, the unconscious and the ongoing potential for psychological growth, individuation and the discovery of one's true self.

Couples Counselling

Relationship Issues & Difficulties 

Anxiety

Depression

Attachment & Abandonment Issues

Bipolar Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder

🔍 How Psychodynamic & Jungian Therapy Work

Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic approaches explore the unconscious processes that shape how we feel, relate and behave. Distress in the present often has roots in earlier experiences that continue to influence us outside of our conscious awareness. These early patterns can lead to repetitive cycles that feel difficult to change.

Through therapy, we bring these hidden patterns into consciousness, allowing for greater insight, emotional clarity and the possibility of lasting change.

My Jungian training adds another dimension to the work, recognising the importance of dreams, symbolic material and the deeper layers of the psyche that contribute to personal growth, meaning and wholeness.

This process supports what Jung described as individuation, which is the gradual unfolding of one’s authentic inner self.  Jung saw this as a vital task, particularly from mid‑life onwards as individuals seek greater alignment, purpose and psychological freedom.

🌱 When You May Seek Therapy

People come to therapy because something feels painful, overwhelming, confusing, or stuck.   You may also seek help without having a specific “problem” you can identify. You might feel you are:

Unhappy or dissatisfied without knowing why

Stuck at a particular life stage and seeking help to transition into the next  

Disconnected from yourself

Unsure of your direction or future

Concerned that life has lost meaning or vitality

Together we can explore these feelings gently and safely.  Therapy provides a confidential, non‑judgemental space where you can start to make sense of what is troubling you and begin to reconnect with your internal world and potential.

🤝 First Contact

I offer a brief, informal, no‑obligation, free telephone consultation, so that you can get a sense of who I am and whether you feel a connection with me. You are welcome to ask any questions about psychotherapy, how I work or what the process might involve.

However difficult that first step may feel, I encourage you to reach out and look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).
