My Approach

I offer thoughtful, in-depth psychotherapy and supervision for people who want space to think, feel, and change. My work combines psychodynamic and group analytic perspectives with more than 15 years' clinical experience as a consultant psychiatrist, educator and supervisor.
People come to me when life feels complex, when relationships feel difficult, or when professional pressures become overwhelming. Together, we make sense of what's happening — gently, collaboratively, and at depth.

About Me

Psychodynamic psychotherapy, mentalisation-based therapy, and EMDR

I have extensive experience as a psychodynamic psychotherapist. My approach is grounded in a nuanced understanding of unconscious processes, attachment dynamics, and the relational patterns that shape how people experience themselves and others, particularly in times of illness, loss, and transition. I also have a particular interest in Jungian analysis, creativity and spirituality.

My clinical work has encompassed a wide range of presentations, including depression, anxiety, trauma, personality difficulties, and complex grief. I have particular expertise in working with sexual and gender diversity, older adults, and individuals living with physical illness or medically unexplained symptoms. I am experienced in the psychodynamic treatment of post-traumatic stress, including cancer-related and medical trauma, and in integrating somatic awareness into the therapeutic process.

Supervision, mentoring, coaching and consultancy for health care and education professionals

If you're looking for a thoughtful, supportive space to reflect on your work, grow in confidence, or navigate the challenges of clinical or educational roles, I'd be delighted to work with you.

I offer supervision, mentoring and coaching to healthcare professionals, educators and therapists. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-world experience. I bring together skills from psychotherapy and education, underpinned by supervision training with the Institute of Group Analysis (a UKCP-registered organisation). I am a consultant psychiatrist who has also trained as a medical psychodynamic psychotherapist and group

A Bit About My Experience

I have been practicing psychiatry since 2003 I became a consultant psychiatrist in 2010 and a psychotherapist in 2013. In 2017 I finished my training as a group analyst.

I have supervised individual psychotherapists and hosted various supervision groups for many years. I have also supervised counselling and therapy clinical teams and psychotherapy teaching teams at training institutions.

If you think we might work well together, I'd love to hear from you.

Feel free to get in touch for an informal conversation.

I work online but can also see patients and supervisees from my office in the Wirral.
