Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a way of making sense of human feelings and experiences, even the ones which seem irrational or extreme. Much of my clinical experience has focused on helping people to recover from traumatic experiences. I am also able to provide EMDR therapy as part of a more comprehensive psychotherapy experience or as a standalone treatment.
Over the course of my career in the NHS and independent practice I have worked with adults, children, infants and families. Psychoanalytical theory has been my guide to understanding distress and managing difficulties across the different age ranges.
I currently provide independent psychotherapy for individuals as well as specialist assessment and treatment services for adopted children and their families through the Regional Adoption Agencies and Local Authorities.
