Our early experiences shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world — often in ways we’re not fully aware of. Patterns of thought, behaviour, and emotion can feel confusing or out of place, especially when they seem to repeat without clear cause. Psychodynamic psychotherapy helps uncover the roots of these patterns, offering insight into the unconscious influences that may be quietly shaping your present.
Not all formative experiences are remembered clearly, but they still leave an emotional imprint. These unspoken stories can affect how we connect in relationships, respond to stress, or cope with change. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, a sense of low self-worth, or a feeling of disconnection — without knowing exactly why.
In therapy, we work together to gently explore your emotional landscape and the experiences that have shaped it. By making sense of your history and recognising the patterns that emerge, we can begin to loosen their hold. This process creates room for new ways of relating, thinking, and being — helping you move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and connection to yourself and others.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked across the arts and cultural sectors in the UK and abroad. These experiences broadened my understanding of people, perspectives, and change — insights that now shape my therapeutic work.
Living and working in different environments also deepened my appreciation of ‘culture shock’ — the disorientation that often accompanies major transitions — as well as the personal pressures we can place on ourselves. I draw on this in my practice, helping clients explore feelings of displacement, identity shifts, and the emotional impact of change — especially those times when we feel stuck, uncertain, or unable to move forward.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
