Paula Miles
Psychotherapist, MBACP
You might be the one who holds everything together. You function well, meet expectations, and keep going even when you’re exhausted. Inside, your mind rarely rests. You overthink, feel tense, and carry a quiet fear of letting people down. Many women I work with don’t feel “unwell” but they feel constantly on edge, disconnected, or emotionally tired. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t need to perform, explain yourself, or stay strong. You get to slow down and be met as you are.

Isobel Brooks
Psychotherapist, MSc, MBACP Snr. Accred
I can help you to make sense of difficult feelings or problems in relationships that you are experiencing. You may be aware of repeated patterns of behaviour that seem impossible to break, or you may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious or angry. Whatever the issue, we can work together with the aim of understanding yourself at a deeper level and uncovering the root cause of your difficulties. Often the problems we experience as adults relate back to our childhood, and old ways of coping with past problems can be repeated. I can help you to understand these patterns and find new ways to move forwards.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns that affect your relationships, work, or sense of wellbeing. Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, or emotions that feel difficult to understand. I offer a confidential and thoughtful space to explore these experiences together. Through psychodynamic psychotherapy, we can consider how past experiences and relationships may continue to shape the present, helping to ease distress, deepen self-understanding, and create the possibility for meaningful change.

Making the decision to enter into psychotherapy can be an important step and my aim is to offer a confidential space to discuss your concerns. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to talk through what feels difficult or problematic in life. Sometimes people have an idea about the nature of their difficulties, others are less sure. Talking with a therapist can help you to discover and make sense of what is leaving you feeling either stuck, lost, anxious, unhappy or overwhelmed.

When we are experiencing difficulties and our usual means of coping aren’t enough, it can be difficult to know where or who to turn to. Therapy can provide a non-judgemental and expectation free space to reflect on what is going on for us, what changes we might want to make and how we might go about this.

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I work on an open-ended basis. It is a relational framework where we think together about the dynamics in the therapeutic relationship and how the past has contributed to your way of being. My extensive, psychoanalytically informed training means I tend to avoid simplified explanations of your experience. Instead, we take time to understand what is going on beneath the surface. The aim is to build a trusting and safe relationship where a more complete picture of yourself becomes clear and accessible.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed by life, work, or past experiences. You may be struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling burnt out, grieving, or stuck in patterns that no longer make sense. Often people I work with appear to be coping on the outside, while inside they feel exhausted, anxious, low, or disconnected from themselves. I offer a calm, safe, and supportive space where you can slow down and feel truly heard. Therapy with me is not about instant solutions or being told what to do. It is about understanding your feelings, gaining clarity, and creating meaningful and lasting change at your own pace.

I can assist you in gaining insight & understanding into your history to help you make clearer decisions about your future. As we work together to understand the way you are, the easier it will be for you to make decisions to make your life, career and relationships happier, more balanced and more empowered. In therapy you will have a unique chance to be authentic without self-censorship or consideration of others; where the focus is solely on you. As there are so few chances to encounter this kind of interaction, this acts as a powerful catalyst for change and transformation.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
