My clients are highly able people in demanding jobs who are looking for a thoughtful and constructive approach to understanding their emotional context. They probably have a successful career and an enriching family and social life, but are acutely aware that unexamined feelings and unprocessed pain are holding them back. They have high agency and high standards, and expectations to match. They have little time to indulge negativity. My clients expect to be challenged and to meet those challenges in a novel and creative way. They are invested in an ongoing commitment and recognise at some level the importance of boundaries.
Highly effective people have cultivated habits of mind that enable them to fulfil their material needs and goals. Psychotherapy enables them to see past their usual resources and think about themselves and their relationships in new and unfamiliar ways. This then opens up the possibility of permanent and useful change, to, for example, overcome fears.

I like to offer flexibility around the fee as it is important that cost is not a barrier to accessing good psychotherapy. I am very happy to discuss the fee at any point, and it is important clients feel able to raise this matter.

My training was in psychodynamic psychotherapy, using the insights from decades of psychoanalytic thinking developed for a more accessible, adaptable and less obscure treatment. I also have experience helping people directly manage extreme emotional or behavioural states. It is important to keep the thinking very open.
