My Approach

The ways we relate to ourselves and other people do not appear out of nowhere. They develop over time through our relationships, experiences, and, the environments and societies in which we grow up. Many of these patterns are helpful. Others can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, anxious, self-critical, or repeating the same difficulties despite our best efforts to change.

In psychotherapy we create space to think together about these patterns and what lies beneath them. There is no set agenda. We begin with whatever feels important to you and pay attention to the thoughts, feelings, memories, and experiences that emerge, including what happens within the therapy itself.

Over time this can help you develop a clearer understanding of yourself, your relationships, and the difficulties you face, opening up possibilities for lasting change.

About Me

I am a Group Analyst; I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy to individuals and conduct psychotherapy groups. I have full clinical membership of UKCP. I qualified at the Institute of Group Analysis, London.

I work in the NHS and in private practice in the Brighton area. I have a number of years experience in working as a psychotherapist in the NHS, working with groups and individuals. I have almost 20 years experience working therapeutically with traumatised adolescents, both in care and education settings. I offer a confidential space where you can come and we can think together about your, thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself and allow you to make benficial changes to your life.

I have worked effectively with patients struggling with issues related to; anxiety, depression, addiction, difficult thoughts, identity issues, issues with relationships and managing emotions. The struggles that people come with are often been ones that they have been struggling with for some time and the treatment I offer can take time to see results.
