About me
I am a compassionate and experienced psychodynamic counsellor, registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council and British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.
How Psychodynamic Counselling can help:
In Psychodynamic Counselling we work with the unconscious to bring about a more coherent understanding of the self. Many difficulties remain unconscious and are often linked to our early life experiences and relationships. These patterns may become more conscious through the process of therapy so that they can be thought and talked about to gain a deeper understanding and enable a new way of seeing things.
Our past experiences influence how we relate to ourselves and others, but they don’t have to define us. Through therapy, we can make sense of your struggles, understand emotional roadblocks, and create space for lasting change. Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship difficulties, or a sense of being ‘stuck,’ we’ll work together to unpack things and give you the space to say whatever is on your mind to bring about a deeper understanding and greater sense of clarity.
As a psychodynamic counsellor, I work with you to uncover the deeper layers of your thoughts, emotions, and relationships- often shaped by past experiences in ways we might not fully realise. By use of free association, we enable these patterns to come into awareness so that we can understand how they impact your present life and begin to create meaningful change.

The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
