People come to therapy for many reasons, and it is not uncommon for people to not know exactly why they feel overwhelmed, or underwhelmed, by life. A desire to understand yourself and your experience of life can be a very good place to start. I work at depth, which means that, together, we seek to understand the underlying causes of your emotional pain and distress. My approach is very much to work alongside my client, exploring together at your pace. If a more direct approach is needed at times, then I will work accordingly. People often ask how long therapy takes, and my reply is that you should think in excess of six months, but not necessarily years. I see people once a week in-person in central London, online, or a combination of the two.
I am a clinical psychotherapist with over fifteen years of experience working in private practice. I work with individuals experiencing mental health issues such as severe depression, trauma, burnout, loss of sense of self, as well as with people working through difficult life changes, gender identity, and sexuality related issues. I specialise in psychodynamic psychotherapy. This means that I help you understand the underlying reasons behind emotional distress and explore how your past experiences, often buried in the unconscious, influence how you behave and relate to others in the present day. I also have a specialist interest in helping people to use nature and creativity for better mental health and wellbeing. I am clinically trained and hold a PhD in psychology.
