From childhood we develop strategies on how to interact with the world and to cope with problematic feelings. They may not always be helpful and can cause more harm than good. The psychoanalytic/psychodynamic approach seeks to identify patterns in behaviour and relationships, helping you to understand them and create new, more helpful patterns of thinking and relating.
It can be hard to reflect on difficult thoughts, emotions and events - past and present - and takes courage to make that first step in acknowledging that you would like some help with things that are troubling you; and to speak openly, perhaps for the first time, about your issues. Psychotherapy can help ease emotional pain, enhance relationships, and alter harmful behaviours. It is good talk!
I am a registered Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist.
Before training to become a therapist, I worked for most of my life in the professional services sector in the City. Prior to that I spent three years attending Drama School.
I offer a safe, confidential space for you to talk about your relationships, behaviours, innermost thoughts and feelings. I do not seek to offer you solutions but rather to help you explore complicated feelings and recognise unhelpful recurring patterns in thinking and relating with the aim of helping you to make sense of things and understand yourself better.
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.
