I trained in psychodynamic counselling, but take an integrative approach, with elements of humanistic and person-centred work.
Therapy can be hard. I get it; I've been there, but it doesn't have to be. I work collaboratively, so you don’t have to know what to do, or what to say. We’ll work through whatever you’re facing, at your pace.
I’ve been on both sides of the counselling room, so I know how tough it can be just getting started, but I believe by working collaboratively, you can get what you need from therapy. You don’t have to have all the answers, you just have to turn up, and be willing to talk things through. I want to get to know you, and understand your story, to figure out how I can help you work through whatever you’re dealing with.

I am a very experienced therapist and Depth Psychologist having worked within the NHS and Private Practice for 30 years. I am a Senior Jungian Analyst, a Training Analyst, an Examiner and Supervisor. I specialise in working with people experiencing relationship difficulties, those suffering from depression, anxiety, low self esteem and intrusive thoughts. An emotional crisis is a call for personal growth, for insight and to a new path through life. The belief that symptoms have meaning leads to a more positive approach and outcome, so that suffering is not in vain but the prelude to a more meaningful life.

My approach includes Gestalt therapy and psychodynamic therapy.
Whatever you're carrying right now, you don't have to carry it alone. Through therapy, we can explore parts of yourself that you feel unable to share with others; in a space where you really feel heard and seen. Perhaps you have experienced trauma or you are facing difficulties in relationships. If you're ready to feel lighter, we can start with a 15 minute chat to see if we're a good fit. I offer face to face and online sessions. Being integrative means I am trained in more than one approach to counselling, allowing flexibility for what works for you

You may be feeling overwhelmed, caught in patterns you don’t fully understand, or unsure why certain emotions keep returning, no matter how gently you try to move them aside. Maybe you react in ways that don’t feel like “you,” or you’re finding it harder to stay calm, motivated, or connected. Many people I support describe anxiety, stress, anger, low motivation, or feeling lost. What they long for is clarity, relief, and real, lasting change to feel grounded, connected, and more like themselves again.

I combine integrative and psychodynamic therapy to ensure clients receive the most effective and appropriate support to achieve their goals.
Are you seeking a space to see life clearly, your experiences, emotions, relationships, or life choices? Do you feel stuck, anxious, angry, numb, or uncertain? Are challenges at work or in your relationships leaving you frustrated or lost?
Many people feel change isn’t possible, or have been told it isn’t. I work with those who are ready to reflect, gain clarity, and discover new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding.
Reaching out can feel difficult, and choosing where to start can be overwhelming. If trust is hard and opening up feels risky, I provide a safe, professional space where insight leads to real choice and change.

Do you struggle with depression, guilt or anxiety? Are your friendships and relationships marred by conflict? Does life feel pointless or not worth it? I help people in Banbury, Oxfordshire and surrounding counties work through distress using psychodrama: a novel, action-based therapy that goes beyond talk. Many of my clients grew up in dysfunctional families, or their family life was disrupted by addiction, illness or death. Some grew up with physical or emotional abuse, others coped with neglect; some were fostered, adopted or placed in care. We will work together to meet the past with compassion and the future with creativity.

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.
