About me
I'm a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist working with people who may struggle with the impact of traumatic childhood/life experiences, depression, anxiety, personality difficulties and relationship issues. I am a visiting teaching staff in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and a Clinical Supervisor, supervising trainees, qualified psychotherapists, counsellors, and mental health professionals.
My approach is grounded in the psychoanalytic tradition which is a form of in-depth talk therapy that aims to bring unconscious or deeply buried thoughts and feelings to the conscious mind so that repressed experiences and emotions, often from childhood, can be brought to the surface and examined. Working together, we will look at how these early hidden and stifled memories have affected your thinking, behaviour and relationships in adulthood.
I offer a reflective and confidential space in which we can think together about your experiences, relationships, and difficulties. Through this process, psychotherapy can help bring to light patterns that may feel stuck or repetitive, fostering greater understanding, freedom, and the capacity for change.
If you are interested in beginning therapy, you can contact me to make an appointment. If you choose to go ahead, you will be offered an initial consultation. This is usually 50 minutes, over two, sometimes three sessions and provides an opportunity to discuss your history, relationships, struggles, thoughts and ideas about why you are seeking help.
I am currently seeing all clients via online and phone sessions.
