My Approach

I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy from a relational perspective, with two options.

Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT), which is a treatment course of 16 sessions to help identify anxiety and depression, which may be caused by relational difficulties. We would look at experiences that may have happened in your past, which could continue to affect the way you feel and behave in relationships today.

I also offer Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, where the primary focus is to identify and understand emotional and behavioural patterns that are troublesome. The length of the therapy is discussed together as we proceed.

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.
