My approach to therapy is rooted in Depth Psychology, drawing mostly from Jungian therapy, and aspects of Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic therapy.
Are you are looking to reach a deeper understanding of yourself, find meaning in life's twists and turns, and discover new ways to navigate difficulties rather than repeating old or self-limiting patterns? Psychotherapy with me offers an invitation to take seriously, without self-absorption, the meaning of your own life journey, and nurture the process of 'becoming who you are'. I emphasise the important therapeutic values of curiosity, compassion, and keeping a sense of humour close by.

Some of the therapies I work with include: Person-Centred therapy, Psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I feel therapy should be adapted to suit you as a person as we are all different in what we need. As we work together I may ask for your ideas of which parts of the therapy you are resonating with and which parts you may be struggling with, so that we can learn to help you in your journey.

I mainly work from a Psychodynamic perspective which means therapy is focused on unconscious processes as they are manifested in the present behaviour.
Psychodynamic recognises the lasting impact of trauma. This is when stressful events that you experience or witness make you feel unsafe, helpless or vulnerable. Therapy will help you to learn about what has happened to you, not what is wrong with you. The focus is on compassion listening and understanding rather than making a diagnosis.

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
