About me
There are many reason why people come to therapy. Some of these reasons can be thought of in similar terms or categories, but the details are always particular and personal. These may be, for example, issues around relationships, or problems with anxiety, depression or trauma. Or perhaps a desire to explore contradictory expectations or patterns of behaviour - understanding better who, or how, we are.
Psychoanalysis offers an alternative approach to mainstream interventions in addressing these things, not seeking simple explanations or pathologies but facilitating understanding of how the defining aspects of our lives relate to each other, bringing to light that which is not yet discernible, as well as looking at how they exist within the wider social context.
The sessions are weekly, or more frequent, and last for 50 minutes.
Training, qualifications & experience
I initially qualified as a Music Therapist, a psychodynamic form of psychotherapy, in 2006. This led to experience working in a variety of different settings, including the NHS, a children’s hospice as well as adult mental health groups and individual psychotherapy.
Over the last 10 years my practice has developed into a psychoanalytic practice. I am currently attending a UKCP registered psychoanalytic training at the SSCP (Society for Social and Critical Psychoanalysis) in Cornwall.
I am working with adults on a 1-1 basis and provide a confidential and peaceful space in Central Bristol.
