I offer short- and long-term adult psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling. I aim to create a non-judgemental and collaborative relationship that facilitates self-understanding. Psychotherapy is a way for us to think together about your past and its impact on your present thoughts and actions. By supporting you to speak freely, and by listening, I can help you better understand and work through your experiences, transforming their effects. Psychotherapy should be a challenging but rewarding process where you gain greater agency and satisfaction in your life.

This particular approach integrates concepts of mindfulness and awareness with modern psychological perspectives and theories.

Are your days filled by constant stress, endless pressures and never ending to-do lists? Do you spend most of your energy trying to avoid mistakes? Do you spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think and how to make them happy? Are you running yourself ragged while trying to keep your head above water? And even as you try to sleep... Do you replay everything you could have done differently? Do you think about all the things you have to do tomorrow? Do you question whether all you're doing is even enough? Does it feel like you don’t even have control over your own mind at times? It's exhausting. Isn't it?

In some moments in our lives, we need professional help when we can’t deal with difficult feelings alone. In these situations, it doesn’t matter if you are not feeling ready to start therapy. The most important thing is to be with someone you feel comfortable enough to express your concerns and feelings with.​ I am here to work with you no matter what your emotional difficulties may be. I specialise in working with various emotional issues as well as considering how various elements, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, culture, nationality, disability, religion, age and others can affect a person’s wellbeing.
