I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist, registered in the UK with the British Psychoanalytic Council.
Clients often come to therapy already aware of certain patterns, frustrations, traits and behaviours they act out and repeat in their day to day lives. Therapy can help make better sense of such processes, enabling them to see themselves and those around them in a clearer light. Gaining a greater sense of self can in turn make for a richer and fuller life.

My core training is psychodynamic, although I draw on a humanistic foundation to combine the rigour of psychoanalytic understanding with a warm, empathic approach which meets you where you currently are.
You may be feeling stuck or overwhelmed by specific experiences or circumstances, or you may be unsure why you don’t feel happy. Perhaps this feeling that something is wrong is recent or you might have been struggling with it for a long time. Our environment, and the ways that we are seen by other people, can leave us feeling pressurised, dismissed or misunderstood. Together, we can work to explore and understand your experience, allowing you to process some of the painful feelings which have left you feeling distressed. Working sensitively at your pace, we can explore how you feel without judgment.

My work is informed by Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic approaches.

I believe in the importance of building a trusting relationship with my clients, so that we can work together toward constructing meaningful relationships. Talking freely about whatever comes to mind is the main way to explore what is beyond our logical, rational mind.

Psychoanalytic thinking underpins my approach to therapy.
Personality, relationships, anxiety, depression, and emotional trauma are areas of expertise. I am also experienced in working with people who engage in therapy to think about themselves more deeply, to understand and relate to themselves better; to make sense of and find meaning in their lives. This itself often forms the basis of valuable therapeutic aims.

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.
