How Therapy Works

For many years, I have worked with individuals experiencing manifold variations of suffering - from everyday misery to profound and disconcerting despair; from identifiable complaints to more diffuse and unknown confusions and conflicts.

I provide a therapeutic space that facilitates the client's ability to begin to explore unresolved, deep-rooted and primary issues that have contributed to the manifestation of their current and often distressing symptoms.

With the individual's "experience" being central to the work, consideration is given to the psychological, psychosexual, historical and social contexts as well as the place the individual occupies in relation to the world.

How Psychoanalysis and Existentialism help

I work primarily from a psychoanalytic perspective with existential influences.

Psychoanalytic work can enable the client to be clearer about the unknown/unthought/unspoken forces moving through them.  Within this work, value is placed in working towards making the unconscious conscious, and exploring the extent to which underlying issues are shaped or impacted by founding past relationships and/or experiences.

Existentialism on the other hand, facilitates a reflection of unescapable aspects of existence such as: finitude, mortality, death and anxiety, whilst also situating the individual within a greater social context.

I believe that therapy provides a place for an inter-subjective, therapeutic encounter, where individual’s who feel displaced, misplaced, alienated and frightened can begin to raise questions about the neglected and forgotten aspects in their lives.

Getting Started

To get started, send me an email and we will set up an initial consultation at a mutually convenient time.  In this session, we will talk about what brings you to therapy and if we agree to work together we will make arrangements to meet weekly.
