My Approach

I trained at the Philadelphia Association in Hampstead and continue to be influenced by its ethos and values: in practical terms, this means that I aim always to attend to the person I am working with, rather than seeing them as a collection of symptoms and diagnoses. My approach is broadly psychoanalytic, which, in brief, means it can often be the case that early relationships and experiences may set in motion patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that persist well into adulthood.
I have a broad range of experience, having worked at the Complex Cases Service at Fulbourn psychiatric hospital, the Emmaus community, the Cambridge University Counselling Service and Magdalene College. My particular interests are in working with students and academics as well as trainee psychotherapists.

About Me

I am interested in the problem of how we might find ways of being with one another and the ways in which this might be played out in the work as well as how we might go about living and loving in a world that too often feels confusing, unpredictable and painful. My approach is informed by literature, Buddhist philosophy, the natural world and psychoanalytic theory.
I am a member of the UKCP, the Philadelphia Association and the East Anglian Psychotherapy Network and am also a trustee of the Cambridge Psychotherapy Assistance Trust, which offers grants to people who may not be in a position to afford the full cost of psychotherapy.
