I practice Lacanian Psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is a talking work, or therapy, which aims to make an absolute difference to suffering. Lacan's psychoanalysis is based in the idea that the unconscious is structured like language. What you say reveals the unconscious processes that underlie any issues that are problematic for you, or recur. Psychoanalysis is the safe space where you can come to talk freely, without censorship and your analyst listens. There is no "correct" way to speak; the work of psychoanalysis is to find your own unique voice, especially of your unconscious.

I work with adults who are used to holding everything together, but find the strategies that got them this far are no longer working. You may feel overwhelmed, anxious or depleted; be navigating grief, relationship difficulties or significant change; or notice the same patterns repeating despite your efforts to shift them. Some people arrive in crisis. Others cannot name one defining problem, only a persistent sense that the life they are living no longer quite fits. You do not need a perfectly formed reason for seeking counselling. Curiosity, discomfort or a readiness for something to change is enough.

Come as you are; leave as you could be. More than a feel-good slogan, this reflects how we approach therapy. Ark Psychology Co is a place where you are welcome just as you are. And, at the same time, we recognise that you may not be where you want to be in life. Something—a mental health concern, trauma, a person, or even yourself—might be getting in the way between you and the life you want. Our goal is to help you move toward the life you want to live; to become who you are capable of becoming.

I’m a general psychologist working with adults across a wide range of issues, with a special interest in perinatal psychology. I support women and parents before, during and after pregnancy who may feel overwhelmed, anxious, flat or depressed, or unlike themselves. Many experience intrusive thoughts, guilt, birth trauma, loss, or a sense that parenthood is not what they expected. Clients often seek relief from emotional distress, support with relationships, a better understanding of what they’re experiencing, and help to feel more grounded, confident and connected, without judgment.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and came to Psychology as a mature-age student, after a senior executive career. That background and my experience working in public and private mental health shapes how I work. I bring a practical, grounded sensibility alongside clinical training, and I have a deep respect for the complexity of adult life.
I work with adults 18 years and over, including older adults.
For eating disorders or ADHD/ASD assessment I am happy to recommend a specialist provider.

The two mountains represent the client and the therapist. Both face their own unique mountains to climb, with all sorts of challenges and hazards ahead. The therapist offers their guidance, not from a superior view, but from a unique angle where they may see things that the client is not able to. I love to work with a diverse range of people so as to learn together in figuring out the next steps clients might take.
