My Approach

My approach is Psychodynamic which is informed by Psychoanalytic theory and practice which includes:
• Exploration of how past experiences have an impact on the present
• Relationship dynamics: how you interact with and see yourself and others and the world around you.
• Unconscious processes from dreams to all thoughts, feelings and experiences giving a greater insight into your mind and how it influences choice in your life
I work with many issues including anxiety, depression, medically unexplained symptoms, bereavement, body dysmorphia, disordered eating, social withdrawal, and relationship difficulties.

About Me

I provide a safe, relational, non- judgemental, compassionate space for adults of all ages. Individual psychotherapy provides a unique opportunity to talk about anxieties, concerns, symptoms, or traumas in complete privacy. Therapy can be transformative, providing a sense of relief, clarity, and renewed hopefulness.

I have more than 30 years’ experience working people of all ages in my medical role as a GP with a special interest in mental health.
As a result of this role I am very familiar with medical diagnoses such as anxiety and depression and have an interest in the challenges of living with chronic disease, chronic pain and medically unexplained symptoms.
