My Approach

Psychoanalytically informed Psychotherapy

About Me

I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and see people with a wide range of difficulties. Psychoanalytically applied therapy is an opportunity to explore the conscious and unconscious reasons behind a particular difficulty that someone may present with. Whether it be something symptomatic such as depression or anxiety or relationship difficulties, motivation or workplace stresses. This type of Therapy allows the opportunity within a safe setting to explore the underlying conflicts that perpetuate the conscious problem. It offers a way to understand and address problems through an encounter with both conscious and unconscious processes within the therapeutic relationship. The process helps develop an awareness of how the inner world shapes and finds expression in the everyday outside world, which helps understand the assumptions and behaviour that hides behind the conscious problems. It helps enrich someone's emotional life offering the possibility for greater fulfilment in relationships and living one's life to the best that they can.

Special Interests

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.

I have extensive experience of working with people with eating disorders in out patient and in patient settings.
I have many years of experience helping people with issues related to identity. Whether thats coming to terms with a diagnosis or exploring their identity and finding out who they are.
I have worked in NHS Psychology services and Forensic in patient services, so have vast experiences of working with people who may have complex and longstanding mental health and well being issues.
I have a long history of supervising trainees and qaulified Psychotherapists who are interested in working psychoanalytically and psychodynamically in private practice, NHS and Social care settings and third sector agencies.
Psychoanalysis is many things, but one thing that sets it apart from other approaches is its understanding of trauma. How intertwinned and inbedded trauma is within human development and the struugles we face navigating life and how it can shape our sense of ourselves, others and our relationships.
