I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist experienced at working with adults of all ages including young people (18-25) and older adults. I work with the full range of mental health problems including anxiety, depression and difficulties in relationships. I have specialisms in working with: People who identify as LBGTQ+, taking an informed and affirmative approach; Those experiencing significant changes in their life circumstances that they are struggling to come to terms with; Complex trauma, including with survivors of childhood sexual abuse; People suffering with creative blocks or feelings of being 'stuck'.
I have experience in private practice and the NHS; in a Specialist Psychological Therapies service in Kent, and at The Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust in London. I have further NHS training and clinical experience in offering group and individual Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT), and integrate aspects of MBT into my practice when appropriate.
I developed an interest in psychotherapy during my first career as an academic when I studied and taught psychoanalytic theory alongside anthropology, philosophy and experimental writing. I continue to teach psychoanalytic theory as a Senior Lecturer and Theory Lead at the Tavistock, as well as guest lecturing at other institutions.
