I work with people who feel ready to address some kind of dis-ease in their lives, whether that is an anxiety, addiction, relationship question or stress-related physical pain. Many of these issues take time to address properly although people often experience relief relatively quickly. I worked as a teacher before becoming a psychotherapist, and still like the Greek word for teaching: pedagogy, which has at its heart the idea of accompanying. I accompany people in-person and online, on their journey; I rarely offer advice but work with people to help them understand themselves, what they want, and the best way forward for them.
I have a range of experience with both women and men, dealing with a wide range of issues. In my experience, the only real requirement for therapy is that the person seeking help feels ready to embrace the invigorating and frightening possibility of really meeting themselves. I am happy to offer an initial exploratory session.
Each person is different. I look forward to working with you in an un-AI, unformulaic, personalised way.

My understanding and experience is that all aspects of our lives are interconnected and rooted primarily in our earliest experiences of self and environment. Working with people suffering from depression or a difficult relationship with food, for example, involves exploring reasons behind the impulses driving those painful expressions. People find that exploration opens up fresh ways of being.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist. I understand that we are formed by early and unconscious experience which influences our experience of present reality. We will work to bring that experience to conscious awareness, explore how it influences your attachments and relationships with yourself and your environment, and then develop ways of expressing your emerging self with greater freedom.
