Oxford-trained psychodynamic psychotherapist and Chartered Psychologist, with over twenty years in research and clinical practice. Most people who find their way to me have already tried the other things, the strategies, the talking it through, and reached the point where insight is not changing anything. Something in the life they have built no longer quite fits the person living it. I work beneath the symptoms. Depression, anxiety and exhaustion are usually where the work begins, not where it stays. I offer a free initial conversation, without obligation.
My approach is psychodynamic, grounded in the understanding that much of our emotional life is shaped below conscious thought, and informed by attachment theory, Jungian psychology and somatic work. My training includes a UKCP-accredited Masters in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from Oxford University and specialist training in psychedelic-assisted therapy.
I work with a small number of people at any one time, online, in both shorter and longer-term work. This is deliberate: the work asks a great deal of both of us, and I will not offer what I cannot fully give. I have particular experience with people who require a high degree of privacy and discretion. I offer a free initial conversation, without obligation.

I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective, informed by attachment theory, CBT, and somatic approaches. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel deeply exposing, and I do not take lightly the trust involved in allowing another person into the more vulnerable and difficult areas of your life.
