This time of the year can be a struggle and a challenging time for many of us for so many reasons; it can remind us of loss or we can have difficulty connecting with family or friends. I offer a professional counselling service for Teenagers and Adults in Hertfordshire (Radlett), working in person or online/phone sessions. I have a certified therapy dog (Labrador) to assist in sessions if you would like. Working with children and parents in schools for 20 year, specialising in neurodiversity and SEND, I hold an enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Checking Service) Certificate.

I understand that wanting a happier and more satisfying life may seem unattainable, particularly if we are dealing with complex, painful emotions or negative feelings which can cause us to feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or feeling stuck. Reaching out for support takes courage, as it involves opening up about personal experiences and emotions. Therefore, finding a qualified professional you experience as friendly, warm and empathic, who will make you feel heard and understood without fear of criticism, can help you uncover a new, deeper understanding of yourself and help you make sense of your experiences.

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 work with adults experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety in relationships and low self-esteem or feelings of not being 'good enough.' You may feel anxious or on edge in relationships but more confident when on your own, or notice repeating relationships patterns that feel difficult to change. You may struggle to express how you feel, leading to frustration, self-doubt or feeling overlooked.

Life is often fast paced and I would like to offer you the opportunity to slow down a little.

I support clients who may feel "stuck" in traditional talk therapy or find it difficult to put their complex emotions into words. I work with children, families, and adults who are seeking a more creative, embodied way to process big emotions or life experiences. I am particularly passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals who are looking for a neuro-affirming space where they can be their authentic selves without the pressure to mask. In our sessions, the creative process acts as a "bridge" between the conscious and unconscious, allowing us to explore feelings that are often beyond words.

More often than not, the roots of emotional problems go deeper than normal awareness can reach, and my role is to enable you to identify, and focus on, some of the destructive ways of relating to yourself and others that might leave you feeling depressed, anxious or alone. ​ Together, we will create a safe and creative environment, which will help you to explore the different aspects of yourself – some which harmoniously coexist, and others that are at odds with each other.

I am a counsellor practicing feminist, somatic and psychodynamic therapy. As a feminist, queer, neurodivergent woman of color, my experiences deepen my understanding of marginalisation. I focus on gender, disability, racial, and intergenerational trauma and am committed to anti-discriminatory, LGBTQIA+ affirming practices. I want to explore with you: how to be ourselves in this contradictory and confusing world. We are asked to suppress ourselves, yet rarely asked what we truly want or who we want to become. These suppressions are rooted in our past, culture, and relationships, eroding trust in ourselves and others.

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.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression anxiety trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers you an experience of yourself that you cannot have alone.
Present difficulties often have their roots in our past. We are very creative at finding solutions, or self-cures, for what we have experienced. They help us to get by. But often, what troubles us today is a self-cure that no longer works. It's time to time to try something else.

As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I help you "dig deep" - uncovering the hidden roots and experiences that shape how you think and feel today.
Psychoanalytic (and psychodynamic) psychotherapy aims to go deep into your emotions, with the aim of gradually removing distress (including trauma, anxiety and depression). This type of therapy is evidence-based, thorough and comprehensive – there is an inherent understanding that everyone’s lives are different, and so therapy is tailored to the individual.

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.
