My Approach

Our past experiences shape the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us—sometimes in ways we don’t fully realise. Psychodynamic psychotherapy helps to uncover these influences, bringing deeper understanding to emotions and behaviours that may feel confusing or difficult to place.
Not all formative experiences are clearly remembered, yet they impact on how we relate, cope, and respond to life’s challenges. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or a sense of disconnection without knowing exactly why. Together, we will explore your history and patterns, making sense of what has shaped you.
Through this process, we will can create space for new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating—allowing you to move forward with greater clarity, connection, and self-understanding.

About Me

I am a fully qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist, working with individuals in both short- and long-term therapy, depending on your needs. Sessions take place at the same time each week, lasting 50 minutes, either in my private practice near London Bridge or online at a mutually agreed time.
I trained at WPF Therapy and completed my final year at BPF—both highly regarded institutions with a long history in psychotherapy training. I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and a member of the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC), and the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC).
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s natural to have questions. I offer an initial phone call to discuss any concerns and to see whether working together feels right for you, and where we can talk about arranging the next steps. If you’d like to arrange this or book an initial consultation, please feel free to get in touch by phone or email.
