About me

I am a Jungian Psychoanalyst with a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life's transitions, relationship challenges and the journey towards wholeness. Drawing from Jung's analytical psychology I work with clients to explore unconscious patterns that shape their lives, integrate shadow aspects of the psyche and discover their authentic path forward.

My approach combines traditional Jungian methods with contemporary therapeutic practices, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore dreams, symbols and deeper meaning behind their struggles. I believe symptoms carry important messages from the unconscious, and together we work to understand what the psyche is trying to communicate.

My work is particularly effective for individuals who are drawn to understanding the deeper psychological and spiritual dimensions of their experience. I often work with creative professionals, those in mid-life transitions and individuals seeking meaning beyond symptom relief.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have trained at the Guild of Analytical Psychologists (GAP) and am IAAP accredited as well as UKCP accredited.
