My Approach

The psychodynamic approach recognises that problems and distress in the present may have originated in early experiences and that understanding this is the first step towards achieving changes in perception, awareness and relationships. I facilitate a space where these can be looked at without fear of judgement, rejection or retaliation. This means helping you to recognise , experience, and understand your true, deep-rooted feelings, in order to help you resolve them.


All appointments are fifty minutes and held once-weekly on the same day and time. Goals and expectations from therapy can be discussed in the assessment, I can offer short term or open ended therapy. Together, we can think about which will currently be more suitable.

Important ways for accessing therapeutic help come from:

• Regular commitment from the client and therapist
• Speaking about personal difficulties
• Establishing and maintaining the therapeutic relationship
• Allowing the current experience of the therapeutic relationship to become evident through honest, spontaneous and direct communication about feelings.

In this way, psychodynamic therapy provides an opportunity to see ourselves from other perspectives. In day to day life and within the therapeutic relationship, old patterns of relating can be given up and new ones can be developed.

About Me

Hello, prior to my qualification as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist , my professional work included six years as a Police Community Support Officer and three years as an Independent Domestic Abuse Advisor. The roles gave me the privilege to work alongside a wide range of diversity, which helped me to understand and appreciate how a person's emotional struggles can have an impact on their life, intimate relationships, work, friendships and in the way they feel about themselves. Sometimes it can lead to anxiety, depression, loss, and feelings of anger, guilt and shame. I understand the prospect of meeting with a therapist can feel daunting, perhaps you feel concerned that your worries are not serious enough or cannot find a clear reason for why you feel the way you do. Alternatively, maybe you have a clear idea of your struggles, but you still find yourself repeating behaviours that you find unhelpful and are causing you frustration. I will be non-judgemental and accept you unconditionally.
