My Approach

Hello, and welcome to my profile.

You may be at a crossroads in life, struggling with anxiety/stress or depression. You may be looking to change something, find clarity, or find relief from the pain. Or you may simply want to be and feel heard.

What might working together look like?

We will work together to build trust in a safe space, whether online or face to face. You will be able to tell your story at your own pace, and I will be alongside you, listening.

At times, I might ask questions to clarify what you think or how you feel about things. At times, I may offer my thoughts about what may be going on - and you will be able to tell me whether that feels true or we need to think a little more.

Talking through things together without judgement (yours or mine) helps clarify why you feel how you feel and what might help you feel better. Things begin to make sense and patterns of behaviour that don’t help you can be understood and let go of.

A freer, happier you can emerge.

Where do we begin?

If I sound like the kind of therapist you would feel comfortable working with, please book a free 15 minutes introductory call or email me for an initial consultation session during which we can explore what working together might look like. This will also be an opportunity to address any queries or concerns you may have at this stage.

Should we agree to proceed, we will meet via Zoom or at my office for weekly 50 min sessions, at a time that will be kept constant throughout our journey together.

About Me

I am a fully qualified and accredited psychodynamic therapist (MSt University of Oxford) and psychologist (BSc). With over 17 years experience working in training and development, some years ago I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a psychotherapist.

Qualifications

Master’s degree in Psychodynamic Practice, University of Oxford
PGDip Psychodynamic Practice, University of Oxford
PGCert Psychodynamic Studies, University of Oxford
BSc (Hon) Psychology

I am deeply committed to maintaining up to date with the latest research and skillset in the psychology and psychotherapy world, including links with the fields of neuroscience, neuropsychology and transgenerational trauma, regularly attending international conferences and workshops.

I have enormous respect for those who dare to seek help. This takes courage, but it will also likely be the most rewarding work you will ever do. 

And you do not have to do it alone.
