I run a successful private practice in Beeston in Nottinghamshire and work relationally and empathically with people from all walks of life. I am a qualified Clinical Supervisor offering individual and group Supervision. If you’re facing distressing or traumatic experiences, I can support you explore your thoughts and feelings to make sense of what's going on and consider how things can change. I work on a short or longer term basis. I know that, sometimes, talking can be difficult; our unconscious thoughts get in the way of change and I’m able to offer body or creative therapeutic solutions as well.

Do you feel troubled by something? Does something feel 'off'? Would you like to have more of an understanding of yourself or the issues you are having? Would you like to feel more empowered? Imagine being in a safe space where these, and any other issues can be discussed. It takes courage to reach out but please know there will be no judgement and your thoughts and feelings will be respected throughout.

This means I draw from various methods, including cognitive-behavioural therapy, person-centred approach, and psychodynamic principles, allowing me to address the emotional, psychological, and situational factors that influence a person's well-being.
Many people face a variety of challenges in their lives that can significantly impact their well-being. For some, this may manifest as anxiety, which can create overwhelming feelings of worry and unease, or if you are dealing with depression, characterized by persistent sadness and a lack of interest or pleasure in daily activities. Additionally, if you are grappling with the effects of past trauma, which can lead to flashbacks, emotional distress, and difficulties in forming trusting relationships. In counseling, I aim to provide a supportive environment where clients can explore these issues in depth.

Many of us experience anxiety, difficult relationships, self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed without fully understanding why. It's a completely natural part of being human. Perhaps you notice patterns but wonder where they began. Understanding can help us heal emotional pain, gain confidence and reconnect to our life in a healthy, meaningful way

I am a Psychodynamic (Jungian) therapist.
Thank you for looking at my profile. I know that taking the first steps towards accessing talking therapy can be nerve-wracking and overwhelming. I aim to offer clients a welcoming, safe space in which they can explore their feelings without feeling judged. In this space we can work together to make some sense of how your world is and how you might like to change things, to feel happier, more fulfilled, safer, less overwhelmed or something else. I initially suggest 2 assessment sessions where you can gauge whether I feel like the right person for you to work with and I can assess whether I have the appropriate skills to help you.

Psychodynamic Counsellors
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.

How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.

Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.

What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
