I am a senior Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and an Analytical Psychologist/Jungian Analyst.
The choice to start psychotherapy may come for a variety of reasons. Becoming aware of repeating patterns of behaviour, struggling in personal and professional relationships, coming to terms with a particular traumatic event, or with feelings of depression, lack of purpose and meaning. Ultimately, there will be a unique reason for each person. Whilst my work takes into account the influence of the past onto the present, it also places as much attention to the future and to the fact that in the present psychological suffering there may be the potential for a meaningful new direction.

I help running a support group for women with PND and I have experience giving workshops on different psychoanalytic subjects.
My approach to therapy is based on psychoanalysis as much as on Attachment and Person centered theories of the mind. I borrow techniques from EFF therapy for the here and now and work with my intuition and countertransference feelings towards the client. Childhood experiences might of might not come into the work based on its necessity.

My theoretical approach is predominantly informed by psychoanalytic/psychodynamic therapy, which explores how the unconscious mind influences thoughts and behaviours.
In other words, thinking about past experiences may help us to understand current relationships, emotional and behavioural responses. Besides, I draw on theories from different schools of thought, including interpersonal, object relations and attachment-based principles to psychotherapy.

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.

I am also a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council.
I am a Principal Lead Clinical Psychologist and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist. My approach centres on understanding a person’s individual experience of the world and the problems they’ve come to live with. This involves us working together to try to understand the particular meaning of one’s difficulties and troubling feelings and how and why such distressing experiences have occurred at this point in life. Such understandings often help people feel less troubled and ‘stuck’, for example with depression, anxiety or traumatic experiences, clearing the way for feeling more settled in oneself and an ability to make changes.

The psychoanalytic approach I offer includes regular sessions where I invite you to share your thoughts and feelings openly.
Life’s uncertainties and challenges can often feel overwhelming, leaving you with feelings of anxiety, confusion, or stagnation.
You may have a specific reason for seeking therapy—perhaps anxiety, a sense of disconnection, or recurring challenges in relationships. Alternatively, you might be experiencing a more general unease, a feeling that something isn’t quite right, even if you can’t quite identify why. Many of us struggle with the weight of expectations—from family, society, or even ourselves—and find it difficult to live in a way that feels like our own.

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.
