I'm a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, which means I specialise in helping clients understand and process how past painful or traumatic experiences might be impacting upon their lives and relationships in the present.
I trained at WPF Therapy, saw clients in their London Bridge clinic, and have been in private practice for over 5 years.
I work with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, feelings of being 'stuck,' trauma, abuse, bereavement/loss, and interpersonal difficulties. I have a particular interest in early relational and attachment difficulties - e.g. emotional and physical neglect, adoption, twins, boarding school experiences, and being a ""replacement child."
In terms of how I work, I offer both once- and twice-weekly, open-ended therapy. I work from my consulting room in Surrey, and I am available for both in-person and online therapy.
I believe in creating a warm and collaborative relationship with clients, providing a safe, supportive and humane environment in which growth, development and healing can take place. I also believe in the importance of addressing how painful experiences find expression in the body, as well as in the heart and mind.
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.
