My Approach

People often decide to talk to a therapist because something that matters to them – a relationship, work, love, sexuality, their body or their identity – has become unmanageable or difficult to understand. As well as addressing such specific concerns and crises, therapy can also help with broader concerns linked to a general dissatisfaction with life – to a sense that something is just not quite right. It can be driven by a wish to talk about the things that matter, to understand your desires and values, to free yourself from problematic patterns of behaviour and to learn to tolerate conflict and find new means of self-realisation.

My practice is informed by the psychoanalytic tradition. Together we will explore the issues that you bring, working collaboratively and creatively to think about them within the context of your life and your unique personal history. In helping you articulate and think about the unconscious factors shaping your experiences and relationships, we will look to address the patterns, repetitions and deadlocks that may be troubling you.

The invitation is to talk about the things that are important to you: the things that make you unhappy, the things that worry you, that annoy or disturb you; the thoughts and feelings you never knew existed in you, or have never been able to formulate or articulate. It is an invitation to speak about whatever comes to your mind in relation to the issues that you are faced with: how they started, how they impact your life; how they make you feel and what they remind you of. There is nothing that should, or should not, be spoken about.
