As a UKCP-accredited psychodynamic therapist with a four-year postgraduate training at Oxford University, I provide a private, confidential space for individuals, couples, and polycules. My work focuses on examining the unconscious patterns influencing your life, relationships, and wellbeing. Whether you are dealing with acute distress or seeking to explore long-standing personal dynamics, I offer a professional, contained environment. I believe lasting change is achieved by working through root causes while simultaneously addressing the symptoms—such as anxiety, depression, or relational disconnection—that bring you to therapy.

Are you feeling trapped in patterns of behaviour that made sense in the past but hold you back now? Perhaps you're constantly reliving traumatic experiences in your mind or body, or feeling shame, self-criticism, anger or anxiety that you can't seem to change. Together we'll notice the feelings, beliefs, sensations and memories that show up for you in each moment, and find ways you can respond to these feelings that leave you feeling calm, self-compassionate and more resolved. If talking hasn't changed the difficulties you're experiencing, or your body feels stuck in past experiences, this way of working might be a good fit for you.

If you look 'together' on the outside but still feel part of you is stuck in survival. If you have done a lot of work already and still feel something is missing or doesn't feel right this is for you. That missing part shows up as holding you back at work, in your business or in your relationships. You are wondering why you still react in ways and with patterns that repeat when you know better: that is the past trauma is running the show. As a trauma resolution psychologist and coach I help you rewire the impact of past trauma so you can finally fully inhabit a thriving identity.

In my Central Oxford practice I provide psychotherapy for individuals and couples. Currently most of my work is with clients interested in changing their lives to align with their sense of who they are, rather than be guided by expectations and pleasing others. I also work with people who have experienced trauma, including with a PTSD diagnosis, helping them to process the trauma and reduce unwanted symptoms. I help couples to reset their relationships to a healthier state, to hear and understand each other and to make joint decisions about the future of their relationship and their family system.
