My Approach

I offer Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT), which is a treatment course of 16 sessions. It may help you understand how you see yourself, and how you think others might see you. It could also help look at how you connect with others (your attachment style) – whether that’s with friends, family or someone you’re in a relationship with.

I also offer Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (open ended), and aim to facilitate a judgement free and safe environment, for us to think and work collaboratively in a time scale that suits you. The aim is to identify and understand emotional, and behavioural patterns that are troublesome; and in doing so, address what can often be deeply emotionally rooted.

About Me

I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist (PGDip), having trained at Westminster Pastoral Foundation (WPF Therapy) which was one of the leading academic and clinical institutions for psychotherapy in the UK, validated by Roehampton University. 

I am a professional member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and also registered with The Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC). I therefore adhere to their code of ethics and working practice.

I am a recognised psychotherapist registered with Counselling Directory, Psychology Today, and welldoing.org.

Alongside my private practise, I work within the NHS as a senior psychotherapist, and lead clinician, providing Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT); as part of the NHS’s ‘Improving Access to Psychological Therapies’ (IAPT) Talking Therapies Southwark service, at South London and Maudsley (SLaM) NHS Foundation Trust.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

How understand and relate to anxiety in a more compassionate way.
You may be feeling anxious, depressed, low, or worried about certain aspects of your life. Whatever it is that is currently troubling you, if it has reached the point at which it is affecting the quality of your daily life, then therapy can be the first step to understanding some of these difficulties and challenges. Coming to therapy can be an emotional 'journey' which is not always easy, however it is also an opportunity for a deeper understanding for making change, which can be the beginning of living your life differently.
Interpersonal dynamics of family relationships.
How understand and relate to all mental health issues in a way that is supportive.
Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) \nA treatment course of 16 sessions, where DIT is used to help identify and treat depression, which may be caused by emotional and relationship difficulties. It’s a form of psychotherapy which helps us understand why you make certain decisions. DIT helps us look at the difficult things that may have happened in your past, which could continue to affect the way you feel and behave today.
