This may include person-centred therapy, psychodynamic insight, and practical CBT tools.
I work with individuals and couples where relationship struggles are at the centre of what brings them to therapy. You might be dealing with conflict, communication breakdown, infidelity, separation or divorce. Perhaps ADHD or addiction is affecting your relationships in ways you're only beginning to see.

Through talk therapy, I help you uncover the patterns, root causes and cycles that keep playing out in your relationships.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and reaching out for support isn’t always easy. You may be feeling anxious, stuck or disconnected from yourself. You may have spent so long looking after everyone else that you've forgotten to make time for yourself. Therapy offers you the opportunity to pause, discover what you need and reconnect with yourself. Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a warm, supportive space for adults, where we can gently explore what you're going through at your own pace. Alongside support, I can also gently challenge unhelpful patterns or beliefs when it feels okay to do so.

The decision to attend counselling can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming. It is the quality of the 'therapeutic relationship' that is key to progress, so that you feel supported and comfortable to talk about what matters to you. I believe passionately in the counselling process, and for me the promotion of positive mental health and well-being is at the core of our work together.

I am a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor, with a focus on the person centred theory of counselling whilst also integrating CBT and Psychodynamic approaches, where it feels right for you.
Starting therapy can be scary but I'm here to help. What I can offer you is a space to feel safe and supported to share your story and reconnect with your authentic self.
A safe space
Feeling lost? Isolated? Anxious or depressed? Struggling with relationship dynamics, personal crisis or challenging life transitions? It takes real courage to seek support during times of uncertainty and stress; allowing yourself the time and space to process and grow is what I can help you with during our sessions.
Taking some time away from the rest of your life to process and heal is not self indulgent or selfish, it is a pillar of self care.

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
