There are a bewildering number of options to choose from, so how can I help you? I work psychodynamically, which means not just exploring what’s happening in the present, but also how your individual ways of coping and feeling may be linked unconsciously to your past.

I am a warm hearted, open-minded individual who understands how difficult taking the first steps into counselling can sometimes be. Many people have 'life events' that bring them to counselling such as relationship breakdown, bereavement, or redundancy. Often feelings that accompany these life events can lead to depression and anxiety. Or it may be that suppressed or undesired feelings keep recurring, leading to painful repeating patterns of behavior or outcomes in your life. My role in your therapeutic journey is to facilitate your awareness, to gently challenge perspective where appropriate and to walk alongside you at your pace.

You may struggle with people-pleasing or with not feeling good enough, no matter how much you do for others. Saying “no” can bring guilt, decisions can feel paralysing and someone’s disappointment can leave you unsettled for days. Over time, this can leave you anxious, indecisive and disconnected from what you want.
These patterns often began as intelligent ways of keeping relationships safe. But what once protected you may now cost you confidence, clarity and vitality. You may feel responsible for others’ emotions, doubtful of your worth or frustrated that you can’t stop over-adapting.

Our true nature is free, flowing, wild and energetic. Childhood traumas create defences, because our survival instinct was so strong it protected us at all costs. The cost is our experience now, disconnection from our-self, our body, others, life. Resulting in difficult relationships, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and self harming behaviour. The decision to come to therapy is a brave one, it is a statement to yourself and the Universe that you no longer want to just survive, but to live with purpose, connection and aliveness. The therapeutic relationship encourages this life force energy, giving space for wholeness to grow.

People come to therapy for many reasons - sometimes because they're living with a mental health condition, sometimes because life feels overwhelming, and sometimes because something deeper is stirring that is hard to name. You're welcome here wherever you're starting from. Alongside supporting people through emotional distress, I'm especially drawn to the deeper layers of human experience: questions of identity, meaning, transition, and how to live a life that feels like your own. I offer a warm, steady presence where you can slow down, listen inwards and find language for what has felt confusing or unspoken.

Choosing the right counsellor is an important first step towards caring for your wellbeing. I offer a safe, confidential space for you to be genuinely heard, person to person.
Oscar Wilde is reported to have written "Be yourself; everyone else is taken" and I believe that every client is unique and has the potential to live an authentic and fulfilling life. Yet life can present us with a myriad of challenges - grief and loss, unwelcome change, relationship difficulties, the impact of trauma or fears about the future. Differences between us can make us feel that we don't belong, impacting mental health.

My clients often grew up having to be the happy one, the strong one, or the easy one, so parts of who they were weren't welcome. They come to me carrying shame they can't quite name, anxiety, low mood, or a sense of not showing up as their authentic self. Some are stuck in patterns they can see but can't change. I work with people ready for long term, real work: not a quick fix, but a slow process of grieving what was lost, reconnecting with buried parts of themselves, and finding their way back to who they are.

You might be struggling with something difficult in the here and now, such as the loss of a loved one, or the breakdown of a relationship. Or perhaps you’re aware of vague, underlying feelings of sadness, anxiety or anger. Maybe you feel trapped in a cycle of repeated disappointments with partners, friends and careers and don’t know why. Whether you know what the problem is, or even if you don’t, therapy can help. It’s an opportunity to explore yourself; to examine feelings, thoughts and motivations and gain understanding - the first step towards navigating a different, happier course.

We can all struggle and sometimes it's difficult to stop and notice what’s not working for us. We can fall into repeating cycles of damaging or unhelpful habits, behaviors, and relationships. We can hold a negative belief system about ourselves which impacts our confidence and forms low self esteem. So if you feel like you’re surviving, not thriving; if you're feeling anxious & have low mood / depression; if you're having intrusive thoughts or wondering if you're experiencing OCD; if you're finding your work or home life stressful; if you’re dealing with family or relationship issues; if you're just not happy...I can help!

I approach our sessions in a person centred way, placing the therapeutic relationship at the heart, and incorporating other models like CBT and psychodynamic depending on your individual needs.
Sometimes life can throw us a curve ball, leaving us reeling and unsure which way to turn. Relationships, separations, difficult upbringings and losses can all cause tensions and heartache. If you are a young person, you might be finding school, friends, family or career choices overwhelming and confusing. In these situations, it's normal to feel anxious, depressed or stuck, finding ourselves getting upset over the little things, questioning our worth or wondering who we really are. I can help you to explore your troubles, find your true self, reflect on your choices and move confidently towards a healing outcome.

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.
