My Approach

Based in London, I offer once-weekly, open-ended and time limited psychodynamic psychotherapy, working face-to-face and on-line. Initially, we will meet to discuss how best to work together. Then, having agreed to travel this therapeutic journey with me, thinking together in our sessions, we can make conscious the ways in which past relationships, often family-related, continue to impact on patterns of behaviour and emotional resilience. Clients come to therapy seeking change and in a safe, confidential space, we can explore how to effect the change they wish to see. I welcome any concerns a client might wish to work through, with particular interest in the challenges of gender, addiction, family relationships, sexuality, bereavement, depression and anxiety. I work to the Code of Ethics of my Professional Standards Authority Register and have Professional Indemnity Insurance.

About Me

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with many years of experience working with a diverse range of people and whatever they choose to bring to their therapy. Are you feeling like it's time to change the things that feel unhelpful and hinder your enjoyment of daily life? Working together, we can look at the past and the events in it which now inform your present. I work collaboratively, led by you, with warmth and an open attitude. I believe in helping you feel seen and heard - really listened to, perhaps in way you have not previously experienced.
As we think together, I aim to help you feel like you are living more fully, freer and less burdened. A psychodynamic approach is a space to explore and challenge yourself. The key to effective therapy is the therapeutic relationship; paying that careful attention, helps in how you relate to others.
Starting the journey towards finding the right therapist can feel daunting. I acknowledge it's anxiety inducing, so offer a complimentary 15 minute call-back, during which you can explain your reasons for wanting to know yourself more fully. Together, we can see if we are the 'right fit' for each other. I'll be glad to speak to you. Let's connect.
