Powerful negative feelings can impact our lives, relationships, both personal and professional, our work and our sense of self. I offer confidential face to face or online counselling and therapy to adult individuals. I aim to help people to gain a greater understanding of why they do what they do, and as a consequence manage their lives differently. I work with clients to make sense of their issues and difficult feelings, looking also at what triggers certain behaviors. Therapy can offer a safe and confidential space to talk, think and make choices.

Having trained for five years at the British Psychotherapy Foundation, I am licensed and fully accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
My goal is to help you explore the emotional questions in your life so that you can understand, with greater clarity, why you feel like you do. My practice offers a non-judgemental, confidential setting for you to reflect on what has brought you to this point in your life, and consider your potential to live differently in the future. Coming from a background in the arts, I pay close attention to the narratives we build and the disguises we assume to protect ourselves from pain. By exploring the roots of these responses, therapy can help you decide which aspects of your life you want to hold onto, and which you would rather let go.

There are many reasons for seeking therapy and it is a big step to ask for help. Sometimes it is about coming to terms with a life event such as a relationship breakdown or a bereavement, sometimes long standing feelings of anxiety, depression or plain unhappiness and sometimes a general sense that things are not right. The thoughts, feelings and behaviours which are causing difficulties in your daily life are likely to have their origins in the past, in patterns set up in early relationships which are no longer helpful. Working together, we can begin to make sense of your experience freeing you to live a better life.

My specialist areas are relational difficulties and trauma. From these areas, we experience symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship breakdown, and at times other harmful and/or repetitive behaviours.

That said, anyone can engage in therapy at any time, and, for any reason.

I have the ability to really sit and be present with adolescents and young people (up to the age of 25 years) and their families and consider their emotional experiences. They may be worried about life transitions, such as the next steps after leaving university or moving schools, or parental divorce. They may have social anxiety and are struggling to attend school or they have had a traumatic experience but unable to talk about it. Good emotional health starts with a safe place to talk, and make meaning out of difficult experiences.

Our early experiences profoundly shape our emotional lives, influencing our thoughts, reactions, and relationships as adults. We often find ourselves repeating unhelpful patterns or struggling to understand the root of our difficulties. Psychotherapy offers a dedicated space to explore these challenges.

Studying Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the Guild of Psychotherapists and working towards full membership and UKCP accreditation (Ongoing)
Psychoanalysis is a particular type of talking therapy which values the singularity of each individual. Through an in-depth and detailed elaboration of one's experience, it offers a unique opportunity to confront the specific nature of one's suffering. This process is not always easy, however it can lead to the alleviation of difficult symptoms, changes in interpersonal relationships, or even a radical reorientation of one's life.

Are you feeling low, lost or anxious? Are you looking for a supportive therapist who will listen to you and help you make sense of what’s going on in your life? I work with people who have anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues and depression, among other difficulties. Sometimes these emerged after a loss or setback, or maybe they are feelings that have always been there and now is the time to tackle them. Perhaps it's hard to even say why, or why now. Whichever it is, I’ll support you, listen to you, and help you understand what’s going on right now, how it relates to the past, and how you can make changes for the future.

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.
