I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years experience of working with adults within the NHS. I am trained in a wide variety of evidence based therapies, but my main therapeutic approach is psychodynamic in nature. This focuses on the possible impact of early experiences and relationships, and unconscious processes, on your current emotions, relationships with others and your relationship with yourself. I provide a safe, warm space in which we can explore your difficulties together. My focus is on developing a good therapeutic relationship in which we can explore emotions openly and honestly without judgment or criticism.

My aspiration is for counselling to be an experience that you look forward to, with a curious mindset. With 11+ years experience in a therapeutic setting, I am someone who will actively participate in the sessions, provide fresh perspectives, challenge when needed, and strives to foster a collaborative environment that encourages conversation. I will not merely nod along passively or provide superficial feedback; instead, I intend to engage deeply, ensuring that you feel heard and offering insightful reflections. By drawing on your past experiences we can provide valuable context to support current challenges and make changes.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
