People often come to therapy feeling stuck and overwhelmed, repeating patterns in their lives that they do not fully understand, or during periods of difficulty, change or uncertainty. Psychotherapy can offer a safe and caring space to reflect and explore emotions, build a freer and more authentic sense of self, and improve relationships.
I work with people who have a range of problems, such as existential anxieties, general unhappiness in life, dissociation, recurrent disturbing memories from the past, as well as people who have clinical diagnoses such as PTSD, C-PTSD, personality disorder, anxiety disorder and depression.
I offer psychotherapy from a relational, psychodynamic perspective. This means I am interested in how past and present relationships, emotional experiences, and unconscious patterns shape the ways we think, feel, and relate to ourselves and others.
I am a psychiatrist with a Postgraduate Diploma in Adult Psychotherapy and training in EMDR.
I provide a respectful and collaborative space to explore concerns at a pace that feels manageable, with a focus on developing understanding, insight, and sustainable change. Please feel free to make contact to discuss further.
