My Approach

Intensive Dynamic Psychotherapy

About Me

I work with people who are in crisis, or suffering repeated patterns in their lives, who are ready to turn things around, and are looking for a skilled, experienced and committed therapist to help them see what is going wrong and how to change it.

There are always reasons for psychological and psychophysiological suffering, and when we do not deal with the underlying causes, this suffering tends to be repeated throughout our lives.

Therapy can be life-changing; bringing confidence, vitality, purpose, a realisation of potential, and more satisfying relationships.

I have been working as a Psychotherapist for 14 years. I am UKCP accredited, and trained to Masters level. I have gone on to specialise in an evidence-based treatment model called Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), developed to accelerate the process of psychological change.

ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy) is a metapsychology that focuses on the understanding the unconscious processes that drive and maintain psychological symptoms.

I aim to help you with the difficulties you bring in a collaborative, focused and emotionally therapeutic way.

I also help people suffering with medically unexplained symptoms, who have diagnoses such as CFS, ME, fibromyalgia and FND, as well as medical illness that is understood to have an emotional stress component, as with some digestive, neurological and immunological disorders. In addition to muscular pain, fatigue, recurrent viral illness, IBS, headaches, migraines and skin problems.
