Working with relationships and individuals, I am a trauma-informed, BACP accredited psychodynamic psychotherapist. Drawing from a decade’s clinical experience, my approach weaves together psychoanalytic, attachment, Jungian, Buddhist mindfulness and somatic approaches. Sessions offer a unique opportunity for deep self-exploration and support around any areas of concern to you; a place in which to be truly seen, heard and responded to. Together, we attend to the underlying roots of present difficulties at a level of depth, towards fuller self-understanding and the discovery of new, more fulfilling ways of living, relating and being.
With training in a range of relationship approaches, including Imago Therapy, I am passionate about helping couples of all relationship styles, sexual orientations and life stages to improve their relationships, and to grow as individuals in the process. Mindful of the interplay of social context and emotional wellbeing, I work in a culturally sensitive way.
I understand that it can take real courage to face the causes of our distress and to entrust these with another person. It's important to find a therapist you feel confidence in, and with whom you feel safe. Whether or not you are clear about your reasons for seeking therapy, I welcome you to be in touch to explore the possibility of working together.

With a respectful, warm yet direct approach, I offer a space to explore and work through any issues of concern for you. Together, we may examine the roots of present difficulties or places of 'stuck'-ness in your personal history, as well as looking to dreams and the felt sense in the body as doorways to deeper self-understanding and clues as to the next steps on your path.
