About me

I am a psychodynamic therapist, offering a warm, open space to listen, free from judgement. Our sessions are a place for you to feel heard and held, providing an environment for us to explore your inner world at a deeper level.

Taking the step to arrive to therapy can be daunting, and there may be the potential fear of the unknown and what the therapeutic process entails. I provide a supportive environment, inviting you to take the time to openly discuss what you feel is holding you back from living your life in the way you desire. There is no rush or expectation. The sessions are a place for you to travel at your own pace. I am currently seeing clients online and over the phone.

The psychodynamic approach focuses on making the unconscious conscious. We can work together to elucidate unhelpful and at times, damaging patterns, helping us to understand ourselves on a deeper level.

When we can understand ourselves in this way, we can start to explore the alternative ways we wish to live our lives. The psychodynamic approach allows you the setting to begin the journey of starting to understand yourself more, piece by piece, by gently unravelling the behaviours and patterns that have taken you further from yourself, and your authentic light.

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
