Aviva Counselling in Amersham
I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and a Doctor of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy candidate at the University of Exeter. With over 25 years of clinical experience in the NHS (CAMHS) and private practice, I offer a sophisticated, relational approach to healing. My work is grounded in the belief that our present struggles—be they anxiety or relationship patterns—are often shaped by unconscious scripts. By decoding these deeper patterns, I help you find a sense of agency and lasting change. While my background includes social work and art therapy, my focus remains on the transformative power of the psychoanalytic relationship.

Many of the people I work with are high‑functioning adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma or identity pressures. They often feel overwhelmed, pulled between responsibilities and their own needs, or caught in patterns shaped by family, culture or past experiences. They’re thoughtful, resilient and aware that something deeper needs attention. Therapy supports them to feel more grounded, break old cycles, improve relationships and reconnect with a clearer sense of self.

Perhaps you're struggling with depression or anxiety related disorders, experiencing relationship difficulties or have memories of past trauma or a difficult childhood which are impacting on your ability to cope with day to day life?

Do you often hear yourself say "I can't do it anymore"? And yet you carry on...
If you're an autistic professional in your 40s or beyond, decades of masking at work and at home may have led to burnout.
You manage relentless demands: the technical complexity, the ever-present urgency, the performative socialising. All that drains you. You wonder whether it will ever end. Resentment and frustration become harder to keep in...Sometimes you explode in anger or you stop speaking.
What you crave is peaceful solitude to engage with your deep interests, be it code, research or another passion. But there's never time, never space.

Most people who find me are not looking for a label. They are looking for someone who can meet what they are actually carrying: a relationship with food or the body that has taken over, a dependence they cannot break alone, the long shadow of trauma, or a low, flat sense that life has lost its meaning. My work begins with what sits underneath the symptom, not only the symptom itself.
Much of my work is confidential addiction treatment for professionals — a discreet alternative to rehab, and aftercare for those leaving one. Trained at Hazelden, PROMIS and Cardinal Clinic, I treat addiction and eating disorders as one problem.

Do any of these feel familiar?
- You're exhausted from holding it all together, but still feel stuck
- You feel pulled between different expectations of who you should be
- Something from your past keeps showing up in your present
- You've been told you're 'too sensitive' - and part of you believes it.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, and questions of identity and belonging. Many people I work with carry experiences that have never been put into words. Therapy offers the space to do exactly that.
