I am an Integrative Counsellor, Supervisor and Tutor working with Synergie Counselling based in Hillingdon. I believe the most important aspect of any any counselling relationship is for clients to be able to talk about about their thoughts, feelings and goals in a safe, confidential space without judgement. It's also important that clients feel heard, that their therapist is honest and real with them in an empathic and understanding way.

You over think every detail, constantly going over events from the past, trying to pre-empt the future. You're exhausted by your own inner monologue, one that never seems to quieten down (unless the music is on really loud!) but you're great at putting one foot in front of the other, getting on with it, not making a fuss. So, what keeps you stuck, drives your patterns? In sessions we can untangle that self-criticism, look at where it may come from so that you can start to make choices based on your needs.

My clients are ready to stop going round in circles. They're ready to find real answers and practical ways forward. They come with a wide range of struggles - trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, relational difficulties, identity questions, life transitions - and often a sense that something underneath hasn't been dealt with. Some are carrying things they've never said out loud. Some have tried other approaches and found them too surface-level. They're looking for someone empathic and curious enough to sit with the hard stuff - and honest enough to challenge them when it matters.

I specialise in attachment, early trauma, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, grief, emotional dysregulation, and adoption-related issues and neurodivergence. Since 2009 I've worked across the NHS, schools, post-adoption services, domestic violence charities, and private practice. Many clients I work with feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from themselves and others, often carrying the impact of childhood or relational wounds. They seek to feel more grounded, confident, and self-compassionate while reconnecting with their strengths and identity.

I work with clients who are tired of overthinking, feeling stuck, or carrying things alone. I offer a calm, straightforward space where you can talk openly and make sense of what’s going on - whether that’s anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, or patterns that keep repeating.

You may have spent years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, exhausted, or as though life is harder than it should be. Many of my clients are neurodivergent adults (including autistic, ADHD and AuDHD individuals), professionals experiencing burnout, and people navigating anxiety, trauma, identity questions, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions. Some arrive feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Others come after previous therapy has not felt helpful or affirming and are looking for a space where they can finally feel understood.

I integrate attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic approaches, and psychoanalytic thinking to support individuals in understanding not only their symptoms, but also the relational patterns.
My ideal clients are adults, parents, and professionals who are seeking to understand themselves more deeply, especially through the lens of attachment, trauma, emotional regulation, and relational patterns. Many come to my practice feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, stuck in repeated relationship dynamics, or carrying the impact of childhood experiences that still shape their present life. Through attachment-informed, trauma-sensitive, somatic, and psychoeducational approaches, I support clients in developing greater self-awareness, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience.

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy for people who want to understand themselves more deeply and make lasting changes, rather than seeking a quick fix to a particular problem.
Psychoanalysis works because it recognises much of our emotional life operates outside of our conscious awareness. Our difficulties can often be better understood by paying close attention to thoughts and feelings as they emerge in the sessions. The work is less about techniques or advice but more about authentic change.

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.
