About me
I have a particular focus on working with high-functioning individuals who are struggling with emotional difficulties, as well as those seeking to explore sexual and intimate concerns. This may include difficulties with desire, intimacy, sexuality, identity, shame, or relationship dynamics and aspects of sexuality that may feel difficult to talk about.
Overall, I work with a wide range of psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-criticism, and repetitive relational patterns. It can also be temporary crises related to separation, divorce, or loss, or more complex and long-standing traumas.
My approach is psychodynamic and based on open, exploratory conversation. I’ll ask you to bring everything important to you and speak whatever comes to mind: from here-and-now issues to past events and memories. Together, we will create opportunities for greater understanding, emotional freedom, and lasting change.
Whether you're new to therapy or returning to it, we can explore together what might be helpful for you at this stage of your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a psychologist, psychodynamic psychotherapist and academic with over a decade of clinical experience and expertise in psychoanalytic theory. I use a psychodynamic approach based on contemporary psychoanalytic theory. Alongside this, I draw on knowledge of physiology and the autonomic nervous system, as well as contemporary neuroscientific understandings of mental health. This helps inform how emotional regulation, stress responses, and embodied experiences are understood and worked with in therapy.
As a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society and a psychodynamic psychotherapist registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), I bring a rich and diverse educational background shaped by international training, with clinical experience working in the NHS and private practice.
