My Approach

I use a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approach, which explores how childhood experiences and early relationships shape the way we relate to others as adults. It looks at both conscious thoughts and unconscious patterns that influence our feelings and behaviour. In therapy, we will aim to work together to bring these hidden influences into awareness, understand how they affect you, and ease inner conflicts that may be causing distress.
This process can sometimes feel challenging, but we will move at a pace that feels right for you. I aim to provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore your inner world, gain insight, and work towards meaningful and lasting change.

About Me

I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist registered with UKCP.

Over the past 20 years I have developed a specialism in working with those impacted by adoption, early trauma and loss and am the clinical lead at a national adoption support agency. Prior to this I worked in the fields of alcohol and drug misuse and family assessment and support. I offer clinical supervision, as well as individual psychotherapy.

In private practice I work with those age18 and over.
