Struggling to focus and worrying about falling behind, you're working hard but, feel like you're getting nowhere. Great at sorting out other people's dramas, you're the first one friends and family turn to in a crisis, but you never seem to find the time or the energy to focus on you.
You may notice familiar patterns repeating, sabotaging your work, studies and personal relationships and preventing you from reaching your goals. Painful past experiences are encroaching on the present, and you're wondering if therapy might help you get back on track.

I am an integrative psychotherapist and registered member of the BACP. My integrative approach to therapy not only reflects my ability to draw from different therapeutic modalities, but also my endeavour to support clients towards their own personal integration. I strive to help clients to meet, understand and accept within themselves the different and nuanced parts of themselves. I offer respect and empathy to my clients, whilst at the same time gently nudging them towards areas of self-exploration that they may otherwise struggle to look at on their own.

I work integratively, with my roots in person centred counselling, drawing on psychodynamic and CBT informed approaches where helpful.
You might be the person everyone relies on, the one who gets on with things, while privately wondering how much longer you can keep doing that.
Maybe something has happened that has changed life as you knew it.
Maybe there isn't one particular thing you can point to, but you feel anxious, overwhelmed, low, or simply tired of holding it all together.
You might know exactly what you're struggling with, or you might just know that something doesn't feel right.
Whatever has brought you here, you don't need to know exactly what you need from counselling before we begin.

There are many reasons people decide to start therapy. They're feeling lost, their purpose in life has just left for university, redundancy and unemployment has left a sense of uncertainty. Grief rears it's head when least expected, close friends become acquaintances, hobbies no longer interest them. They feel unappreciated, worthless. Not good enough.
These are all reasons my clients have walked through my door. And in fairness, the same can be said for myself. Life knocks us when we least expect it, talking about it can help.

Every person has a unique story shaped by their relationships, culture, and life experiences. Therapy offers a space to explore that story with curiosity, compassion, and understanding.
I believe that many of the difficulties we encounter stem from patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that often operate outside of our awareness. Together, we first identify and understand these patterns and how they may be contributing to current challenges. Through greater insight, we can then work toward developing new ways of coping, relating, and responding, helping you move toward the changes and goals that matter most to you.

I use an integrative approach, drawing on many therapy technique's such as CBT, person-centred, psychodynamic, Somatic and Attachment theory.
Do you ever find yourself wondering why you react the way you do, struggle to trust, overthink relationships, or feel like you’re constantly trying to understand yourself?
Maybe you’ve experienced difficult relationships, trauma, rejection, or times where your needs didn’t feel understood. Maybe you’ve learned to people-please, mask, over-function, avoid conflict, or put everyone else first.
For many people, these patterns make sense when we explore your attachment style, past experiences and the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself.

Psychodynamic Counsellors
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.
