I am an experienced psychologist who offers 1:1 therapy to adults and young people (16+) who present with long-standing relationship problems and emotional issues. May that be recurring difficulties with friends, co-workers or family members, unintentionally choosing the ‘wrong’ partners, or perhaps choosing not to relate at all by avoiding people all together. If such relational dynamics persist, they are bound to make us feel anxious, depressed or numb. My passion is to help others make sense of and release dysfunctional patterns in relationships, to build emotional resilience, and to have more fulfilling connections instead.
My clinical work is informed by evidence-based psychodynamic approaches, primarily Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP). I also offer Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) and integrative psychotherapy. My sessions are collaborative and process-focused and I suggest we meet for an initial consultation to evaluate the best type of treatment for you.
I am a chartered Counselling Psychologist registered with the HCPC, and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (CPsychol AFBPsS). I have worked for many years in different NHS settings and in the private sector, and have treated a wide range of psychological difficulties. I currently see clients online every Thursday between 10am and 4pm.
