I am a clinical psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist offering individual therapy to adults facing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. These may include depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and relational problems.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in psychoanalytic principles, which focus on gaining a deeper understanding of the self and one’s subjective experience. Rather than targeting symptoms in isolation, psychoanalytic psychotherapy seeks to uncover the underlying unconscious processes that shape patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour.
In therapy, I work collaboratively with patients to explore the meanings embedded in their experiences, past and present. This process can help individuals gain greater insight into themselves, their relationships, and the roots of their distress. Over time, this understanding can foster emotional growth, self-acceptance and lasting change.
