I am a clinically trained psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapist with over 15 years experience working in mental health services with both adults and adolescents. Most recently I have worked in NHS services with both individuals and groups.
I strive to offer a personalised and relational approach to psychotherapy, enabling you to work at your own pace, within a safe and secure therapeutic alliance with me. Initially I aim to take the time to hear you, so that we can understand together how to think about your problems and what may be causing them, and consider what inner work is required to help you to reduce distress.
I will use our relationship to support you to explore your internal and external world and gain more self insight and awareness. I am passionate about helping people to connect with themselves and the world around them in order to move out of feelings of shame, fear and anger that often leads us to feeling unhappy, stuck, and unable to move forwards.
My core values in my practice of psychotherapy is to practice with transparency with my clients; in how I work, and my intentions within this work. I work from a place of deep respect for anyone who finds their way into therapy to think about themselves. I strive to deliver my services with excellence and high professionalism.
