About me
We feel bad - anxious, depressed, worthless for instance - and often enough, to make it worse, we aren't sure why. Psychotherapy aims to help by trying to get to the bottom of what's going on. Understanding more gives us mental space and freedom, we hope, to see things a bit differently and then we can feel able to do things differently and be less caught up in feeling so bad.
I'm a psychoanalytic psychotherapist working with adults. Among other things, I aim to help you with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, sexual problems, relationship and family problems, compulsions and obsessions, trauma and feelings of anger and frustration.
We aim to build insight into patterns of thinking, behaving and relating to others, many of which are not conscious. By working in this way, the hope is to effect lasting changes to emotional well-being, personal functioning, relationships, and problematic thoughts and actions.
Getting started
Please email me to arrange a time for an initial phone call. This helps me get a sense of what's troubling you and, if you want to proceed, we then arrange a meeting to explore things a bit more and agree together on next steps.
