About me
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist. I offer once a week open ended and time limited psychotherapy to adults over 18yrs old.
I am available for in person or online by Zoom.
I provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore what may be the issues causing you distress and problems in your life. This maybe in your personal and or work life.
My approach is to think about how the past can affect our lives in the present and hopes for the future. Finding ways to understand relationships and repeating patterns in our behaviour can promote a way to self acceptance and understanding of how and why others relate to us.

Further information
My approach is psychodynamic. This is way of exploring present issues and difficulties that are happening in our personal and working lives. It aims to understand ourselves by thinking about what has happened in the past and how patterns can develop in our emotions and relationships with others.
Over time it can help you understand why and how you may respond and react in ways to the challenges of adult life, whilst attending to what may have occurred to your younger self. Exploring personal trauma and loss can be part of our work together. A greater understanding of yourself can allow personal growth, more fulfilling relationships to flourish and ability to manage the stresses and events that life can throw at us .
For this to happen in therapy, a trusting and safe therapeutic space and working relationship need to develop. If you would be interested in finding out if this maybe the therapy for you, we would meet for an initial consultation before you commit to starting in therapy with myself.
I work from therapy rooms in Borough London and online. Sessions are weekly for 50 minutes.
