I work within a Jungian framework, where symptoms are seen as communications from the psyche that need to be honoured, in order to be understood and worked through. I endeavour to meet the patient where they are, and through the interpersonal relationship that emerges between us, with its conscious and unconscious aspects, narratives and meaning can emerge safely and creatively, whether through speech, silence, dreams or bodily gesture. Although my main focus is psychodynamic, I have 25 years experience as a practicing psychiatrist, and I am also practice Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

It’s hard to watch your child struggle, and despite your best efforts, you’re unsure how to offer the support they need. They’ve become anxious, withdrawn, or are struggling at school. Maybe their moods are unpredictable, or they seem stuck in patterns you don’t understand. Perhaps something difficult has happened and you’re wondering if it’s still affecting them. They won’t talk to you, and you’re left feeling powerless, unsure how to support them.
Therapy can help your child make sense of their emotions, process difficult experiences, and regain a sense of control.

Are you feeling depressed, confused about what you feel, ground down to the point where you feel unable to cope, or simply wishing you could talk to someone and feel understood? Individuals choose therapy for a variety of reasons and often the biggest hurdle to getting help is an inner voice telling us our problems are nothing special and we should "just get on with it". I provide a safe, empathic environment where you can talk about your concerns without fear of being judged and to provide you with the means to work out your own answers and create the life you want.

If you are experiencing the distressing symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or you have a diagnosis of OCD please do get in touch. You may be having distressing and unwanted intrusive thoughts or images, engaging in repetitive behaviours such as frequent checking, washing or repeating or mental reviewing and avoidance. Often people can feel embarrassed or scared talking about their intrusive thoughts or the behaviours they feel urged to undertake. I hope my years of experience using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention will help you feel able to discuss and successfully challenge OCD.
