About Me

I am an experienced psychotherapist working with a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties. My approach combines a supportive, non-judgemental stance with appropriate challenge. I practise from a quiet consulting room in Deptford (picture below), a short walk from New Cross and New Cross Gate stations.

In our first session, we explore what brings you to therapy, how we might work together, and what you hope for. My advice to anyone seeking a therapist is to find someone you feel at ease with and can imagine building a relationship with over time.

I specialise in helping clients understand and change self-defeating relational patterns. My clinical focus includes developmental trauma, attachment, and the dynamics that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. I work with clients to deepen self-awareness, recognise their part in relational patterns without blame, and develop more authentic and connected ways of being.

SUPERVISION

I offer supervision for trainees and qualified psychotherapists, both individually and in groups. My approach is relational and integrates humanistic theory, transactional analysis, Gestalt, and psychoanalytic thinking.

I help psychotherapists develop a coherent personal approach grounded in solid clinical thinking and intentional interventions. I’m a good fit if you want to work relationally, use countertransference actively, and apply self-disclosure with clarity. I work best with supervisees who value theory and want a strong framework behind their in-room clinical choices.

If you’d like a sense of how I practise and supervise, you can read my article Working Relationally: Ten Fundamental Questions Answered on the Publications page of my website: https://www.tidepsychotherapy.com/publications

Sessions are £75.
