There are many difficulties in life that can feel overwhelming at times. Life circumstances or internal struggles can leave us feeling as if we are not getting what we should out of life and we want to be able to move forward. In all circumstances I believe passionately in the power of psychotherapy to help enact positive change. The tools and skills you could learn with me can enable you to feel that you can live the rest of your life free from what has been holding you back. We would do this together working at your pace and always being in partnership.

I offer understanding and an intelligent conversation. Single-session therapy is my speciality because I believe it is possible to take away an understanding from a session and let its meaning unfold at its own pace in your own life. Many conversations heal, but the difference between a psychologist and a friend is that looking at things with the tools psychologists have at our disposal can help you reframe the problem and then fix it. That is the starting point for feeling better. I am the developer of the Happiness Test, soon to be an app and a book, based on Freudian/Kleinian orientations which is the framework of my practice.

From time to time we all feel sad, anxious, helpless, irritable, lack motivation and have low self esteem. Life is always a challenge for most of us; most emotions are painful, both physically and psychologically. Without help our mood can worsen, life becomes joyless , causing us to loose hope and withdraw from people. It might be the way you think about and treat yourself that has brought you here. Maybe you would like to explore areas of your life that are causing you levels of distress. Are you struggling with relationships? Trying to move on from abuse? Or dealing with loss? Dealing with conflict at work might be stressful.
