About me
I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist working in private practice.
I provide a confidential and safe environment where we can think together about your problems or difficulties. This can be on a short-term focused basis of 10 sessions or over an open-ended long term periods.
I offer sessions in person and online.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained with WPF one of the UK's leading psychodynamic and psychoanalytical training bodies. It has maintained its reputation for clinical and academic expertise for over forty years.
My professional registration bodies are the FPC and BPC. I adhere to their ethical framework and professional code of conduct and work within their ethical framework. I am fully insured.
I have worked within the NHS in a variety of settings doing both long-term and short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy for many years.
I have extensive experience in working with people with a severe enduring mental illness and have experience of working with people who have experienced trauma whether from single trauma or long-term abuse.
I also work with individuals who wish to explore things that are troubling them or holding them back by thinking with them in a safe environment.
My work focuses on difficult patterns in relationships both personal and professional.
I am particularly interested in working with individuals women and men who have experienced difficulties in relation to conception, pregnancy, loss, adoption or barriers to attachment.
I offer both short-term and open ended therapy. Additionally I offer consultation for individuals and professionals in relation to perinatal mental health and planning in the pre-conception period and in the perinatal period.
