You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel helpful. Perhaps you’re used to coping on your own and have reached a point where things feel harder to manage. You want some clarity, steadiness, and relief from constant worry or self-criticism and a space where you can talk openly without feeling judged. You may not have clear answers yet, but you’re hoping therapy can help you understand yourself better and find a kinder, more sustainable way forward. You don’t need to have the right words, we can work things out together.

I use psychodynamic psychotherapeutic thinking in my practice.
You fit everything in, yet somehow you still feel like you’re slipping. From the outside, you look fine, but on the inside, you’re exhausted by overthinking, burnout, or a sense of losing who you are. I provide a space where your inner life is taken seriously without being pathologised. Whether you are navigating a late ADHD/Autism diagnosis, struggling with body image, or seeking support for your child or teenager, I am here to help you move from "just surviving" to feeling grounded. Together, we will look at the root patterns holding you back and build a more considered, authentic way forward.

We are all able to agree that our physical health is variable, but it may be much harder to admit that our psychological health is in constant flux. All too often, we find ourselves buying into the idea of the "stiff upper lip": that "mental health issues" affect only other people - and "weak people", at that! It can be very daunting, therefore, to recognise that we need help and then to take steps to find a professional who will help things improve. I understand those concerns, because I've been there: and I also have experience of the positive effects of psychotherapy - from both sides of the consulting-room!

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.
