My psychodynamic training takes into account the connections between the past and the present and in the frame of how we engage, things can become apparent that you may have not been aware of. The nuances of how this promotes change has been expressed by my clients. I also work as a trauma informed counsellor which has enriched my experience as a therapist. I have experience working with self esteem, anxiety, abuse and much more. There may be things from your past that you feel are stopping you from moving forward. In our sessions we can explore what you bring, what your goals are and what it would look like to achieve them.

Therapy is an investment in yourself and your relationships. It can reveal aspects of yourself that you have taken for granted, such as overworking, over-rationalizing, people-pleasing, or dismissing your own needs and emotions. These patterns emerge because they once served us at different points in life, but what may have been helpful in the past doesn’t always serve us in adulthood. Many clients are motivated to explore these unexamined aspects of themselves—what I often refer to as their 'autopilot'—and to gain greater awareness of how these tendencies shape their relationships and sense of self.

For 10+ years the individuals I have supported have experienced childhood traumas, drink and/ or drug abuse, relationship breakdowns (whether that's family, friends or partners) and I have supported many through emergencies (crisis).
In my experience sadness and complexity often come hand in hand. I have and will always continue to help individuals grow and evolve through challenging times. If you want to take control when you're in a dark place then we can face it together, by talking, analysing and exploring how our mind and body respond. I will be there to make you comfortable and actively listen as a priority.

I collaborate with clients who aim to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, heal from past experiences, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. They may be struggling with emotional pain, relationship challenges, trauma, or mental health issues and are looking for a non-judgemental place to explore their feelings and needs. Their goals often include developing self-awareness, breaking free from patterns that hold them back, and learning new ways to live with resilience and purpose. They seek a supportive and attuned therapist who can walk alongside them on their journey toward healing and change.

I am warm and listen with attention and care. I am also not afraid to challenge negative beliefs and behaviours if they are unhelpful. With me, you will have a true experience of healing and understanding in a deep and authentic relationship. Through my own counselling following a loss, I learnt how valuable therapy can be in helping people to heal and to live a fuller and happier life. It opened my eyes to a new way of seeing things and I enjoy enabling this liberating possibility for others in my work.

You may look capable on the outside while privately feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or caught in patterns that keep repeating. Work, relationships, family life, trauma, addiction, mood swings, racing thoughts, ADHD, autism or AuDHD may be taking more from you than others realise. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what sits beneath the difficulty, and build practical ways to feel calmer, steadier and more connected. I offer a warm, respectful space where the parts of you that have been coping, masking or surviving are met with curiosity, not blame.

As a psychodynamic counsellor I am committed to providing a non-judgmental space to explore that what brings you to therapy. Working together to uncover what may be behind your anxiety, stress, mood swings or depression and bring understanding to personal coping strategies. I work with the pretext that past experiences profoundly shape the present and therefore by examining how your personal history intersects with your current life, we shine a light on the more neglected parts of the personality.

To me, psychotherapy is the opportunity to explore, and eventually accept yourself fully – to deepen your understanding of yourself, your responses, and your relationship with the people and the world around you. A process of awareness that can help you learn and heal from the trauma of your past. I had an unusual upbringing with very 'alternative' parents (hence the name) which meant that I was exposed to many weird and wonderful people, ideas and experiences from an early age. This came with its ups and downs, but fundamentally it has helped me develop a deep understanding of what it means to be human.

You may be noticing that drinking, compulsive habits, or other coping patterns are starting to feel harder to manage.

I offer structured, evidence-based therapy to help you understand the pattern, reduce overwhelm, and make practical changes that feel realistic.
