I integrate: person centred - developing a supportive relationship to explore your story and feelings to enable you to build a strong sense of self; psychodynamic - looking at your history and how that is impacting you in the present; CBT - looking at the causes and then being very solution focussed; somatic - physical grounding and breathing techniques.
Hello, It's likely that you have arrived here because you are seeking help or support dealing with some of life’s difficulties. I appreciate that deciding to seek help and then contacting a therapist can feel like a big and daunting step. Whether that is to deal with anxiety, depression, confusion or unhappiness. Or perhaps it might be a feeling that your life has little meaning, you're lonely, or you lack a sense of direction. Or was there something else?

I work relationally with the clients I see, aiming to build a shared understanding of their difficulties. Using integrative techniques (including evidence based psychodynamic, existential, humanistic & cognitive behavioural modalities) I focus on encouraging individuals/couples to identify their existing challenges, build an understanding of themselves & their situation, & reflect on why they may feel the way they do. Through this process it is possible to build long term resilience & a more robust sense of self, having identified patterns of relating to others. This includes developing skills & techniques for coping in the future.

The underlying focus in psychodynamic psychotherapy is on better understanding ourselves.
At any point in our lives we may find ourselves feeling low, depressed or anxious. This may be something that has been going on for some time, perhaps over many years, or it may be brought on by an event. It can help to share these feelings with a trained therapist. Psychotherapy offers a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk, think and be.

Hi there. I provide face-to-face and online counselling (from £55) with the first session free of charge. Together, we can work on helping you cope with what's going on in your life right now, and take time to explore how you might feel better about yourself. My approach is broadly ' psychodynamic', which means we pay close attention to the feelings and beliefs that we hold about ourselves and others, and which have typically taken shape at some earlier time in our lives. We can quickly become stuck in set ways of 'being me', without realising that all of us have a capacity to change in all kinds of unexpected ways.

I practice from an integrative psychodynamic framework, which explores the impact of past experiences and relationships on the present.
When you are navigating your life and its challenges, you may feel anxious; depressed; frustrated with your motivation; worried that you are not doing enough to achieve what you want for your life or in your relationships; have intrusive thoughts; struggle to sleep; or no longer enjoy activities or relationships the way you used to. Together, in a non-judgmental, empathic and confidential therapeutic relationship, we will unpack why you feel this way.

What sets the Psychodynamic approach apart from other therapies is that it is in-depth and used to discover the root of our emotional difficulties.
It can really help to talk when we are going through difficult times in our life. Whatever you are facing and however hopeless it may feel. I can help you make better sense of what is going on for you and together we can work towards positive change. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist I have worked with people from different backgrounds and on a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, personality disorder, ADHD, self-harm, identity problems, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, sexual and emotional abuse, family breakdown and bereavement.

I primarily use person-centred and psychodynamic approaches.
There are times in every person's life when things feel overwhelming, hopeless or impossible and it can be difficult knowing what to do in these moments or where to turn to for support. You may have gone through several life changes, be questioning your purpose or may simply be wanting to better understand your feelings and behaviour. I aim to create a safe space where you can express yourself without fear of judgement or rejection. I will listen to you, explore the difficulties you are facing and provide a place where you can simply 'be', with no pressure to be anything other than yourself.

My main areas of work are anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and trauma so I use approaches such as CBT, Psychodynamic therapy, Inner child work, mindfulness, Art therapy and many more.
We all have moments when we feel low, stressed, anxious, depressed and just sometimes we can't seem to let go of our past experiences. Believing that the relationship between therapist and client is key, I aim to create a safe, warm space where clients can be heard and understood, to explore the depths of their thoughts and feelings, allowing them to speak the unspoken. I understand that each individual experience is unique and therefor tailor therapy to the needs of each client separately.

I work with Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Behavioural approaches and a solutions focused perspective across culture and difference.
You have now taken the first step to living a 'whole' life. Whatever your reasons for seeking support, nothing is too big or too small to explore. Our sessions may be about a specific issue or transition you may be going through such as relationship or work challenges, a bereavement or loss or about exploring feeling 'stuck' and a lack of motivation or energy to move forward in life. Alternatively, you may want to take the time to explore a little deeper, particularly around initial attachments and past experiences or events and how these may be impacting you in this present time. The greatest agent of change is self awareness.

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.
