I work with adults and young people, who are experiencing challenges that affect their day-to-day life. These include relationship and family issues, divorce, abuse, panic disorders and child related issues - to mention just a few. Sometimes these challenges can lead to feeling isolated or confused, depression, anxiety or stress. Maybe you have struggled with fitting into society or you have been struggling with low self esteem. Either way, I can offer you a safe space to gently explore your experiences.

I combine Jungian, existential and psychoanalytic thinking with a warm, genuine and creative approach.
People often come to see me when something in their life feels off - thoughts that won’t quiet down, relationships that feel tense, or a sense that they’re out of sync with themselves. I’m interested in how you think and feel. The patterns you fall into, the stories you tell yourself, the ways you’ve learned to get through. Together, we’ll look at those closely - what makes sense, what doesn’t, and what might need to shift.

In private practice, I work with individual adults on an open-ended or time-limited basis, offering a safe, non-judgmental space to think together about what kind of life you want and what may be getting in the way. My path to psychotherapy was preceded by a creative career, which left me with a lasting interest in how people make meaning and a particular sensitivity to the gap between what we say and what we mean.

I am a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist with years of NHS / CAMHS experience. I work with young people (0-25yo) experiencing emotional difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, depression, attention/concentration issues, and low self-esteem. Young children may express their distress through separation anxiety, feeding/sleep issues, or outbursts. I work with parents who often feel overwhelmed and seek support to understand what is happening and how to best respond. I also see couples as part of an advanced training at the Tavistock Relationships, a charity providing a range of fees to make therapy accessible to all.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors
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.
