My Approach

My approach is psychodynamic and collaborative. I believe that therapy is something we create together, rather than something that is simply done to you. I will not sit back as a passive observer; instead, I will listen carefully and work with you to explore your experiences, emotions and relationships.

A psychodynamic approach recognises that many of the difficulties we experience in the present can be connected to patterns that have developed throughout our lives, including our early relationships and experiences. By exploring these patterns and noticing how they emerge within the therapeutic relationship, we can begin to understand yourself more deeply and consider new ways of relating to yourself and others.

At the same time, I recognise that every person is unique, and therapy needs to be shaped around your individual needs, circumstances and goals. Together, we will work at a pace that feels manageable, creating a space where curiosity, reflection and meaningful change can develop.

About Me

I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist with many years of training and clinical experience in both the NHS and private practice. I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds who are experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, eating disorders, addiction, relationship problems, bereavement and loss, trauma, and feelings of being stuck or lacking meaning and direction in life.

Life can become overwhelming at times, and psychological difficulties can affect any of us. For some people, a brief period of therapy is enough to address a specific issue, while others benefit from longer-term psychotherapy that allows for deeper exploration and lasting change.

I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly about whatever is troubling you. Together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach is psychodynamic and collaborative. I listen carefully and work alongside you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships and the patterns that may be shaping your life. Often, the ways we learned to cope in earlier relationships continue to influence how we think, feel and relate to others today. By recognising these patterns in the present, it becomes possible to make different choices and create meaningful change.

Psychotherapy is not simply about looking back at the past. It is about understanding how your past experiences continue to affect you in the present so that you can move forward with greater freedom, self-awareness and resilience.

Many people find that therapy helps them develop stronger self-esteem, healthier relationships and a greater sense of purpose and fulfilment. The insight gained through psychotherapy can support lasting personal growth and a more authentic way of living.

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. I offer a brief initial telephone conversation where we can discuss what has brought you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and arrange an initial consultation. This gives us both the opportunity to consider whether we feel we would work well together.
