As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I work on an open-ended basis. It is a relational framework where we think together about the dynamics in the therapeutic relationship and how the past has contributed to your way of being. My extensive, psychoanalytically informed training means I tend to avoid simplified explanations of your experience. Instead, we take time to understand what is going on beneath the surface. The aim is to build a trusting and safe relationship where a more complete picture of yourself becomes clear and accessible.

I practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy: this will not give you tools or advice - instead it will help you understand the parts of yourself which may feel hidden, troubling and confusing.
I typically work with 50 minute sessions taking place once- or twice-weekly. I am a Member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and a Member of the Guild of Psychotherapists.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns that affect your relationships, work, or sense of wellbeing. Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, or emotions that feel difficult to understand. I offer a confidential and thoughtful space where we can explore these experiences together. Through psychodynamic psychotherapy, we can develop greater insight into how past experiences and relationships continue to shape the present, supporting greater self-understanding and the possibility of meaningful change.

Making the decision to enter into psychotherapy can be an important step and my aim is to offer a confidential space to discuss your concerns. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to talk through what feels difficult or problematic in life. Sometimes people have an idea about the nature of their difficulties, others are less sure. Talking with a therapist can help you to discover and make sense of what is leaving you feeling either stuck, lost, anxious, unhappy or overwhelmed.

I am sure that in all of us there is the capacity to make the changes we truly want to make. My role as a counsellor is to journey with you to discover the reasons behind the thoughts, behaviours and feelings that you wish to address. Then once we understand the causes of the issues or problems we can work together to heal the past in the present to create the kind of future that you wish for. We can do this in a safe and secure environment free from judgement, shame or embarrassment. Much of the work that I undertake is based upon Transactional Analysis, (TA), and integrative modalities. Against this framework help is available.

I specialise in working with couples and individuals, and regularly work with clients in areas including: communication, affairs and infidelity, blended families, bereavement (loss and grief), embedded trauma, depression and anxiety. In my practice, I endeavour to work with clients in an empathic, collaborative and non-judgemental way. My integrated approach uses systemic theory (including exploring your thought processes and present situation) and psychodynamic theory (historical exploration linking to unconscious thoughts and behaviour). I also apply aspects of emotionally-focused therapy (EFT); and trauma focused therapies.

You might be the one who holds everything together. You function well, meet expectations, and keep going even when you’re exhausted. Inside, your mind rarely rests. You overthink, feel tense, and carry a quiet fear of letting people down. Many women I work with don’t feel “unwell” but they feel constantly on edge, disconnected, or emotionally tired. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t need to perform, explain yourself, or stay strong. You get to slow down and be met as you are.

When we are experiencing difficulties and our usual means of coping aren’t enough, it can be difficult to know where or who to turn to. Therapy can provide a non-judgemental and expectation free space to reflect on what is going on for us, what changes we might want to make and how we might go about this.

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.
