Life can be challenging and can bring hardships, conflict and pain. Often people seek therapy at a moment of crisis where they want change in their lives. Psychotherapy offers the possibility for an individual to explore various aspects of their life and be listened to in a way that is rarely possible with family or friends. My experience includes working with psychiatric diagnoses, those affected by issues and symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement, addiction, relationship issues, questions of gender and sexuality.

As a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, I provide a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore the roots of your distress, which often lie in unconscious thoughts, memories, and repeated patterns.
We’ll work together to explore the unconscious patterns that shape your life—including the thoughts you repeat, the history that lingers, and the unhealthy coping mechanisms that no longer serve you. This psychoanalytic exploration helps uncover the roots of anxiety, relational struggles, and feeling stuck, so you can move forward with clarity and freedom.

I hold a real respect for the courage it takes to engage in therapy. My work draws on my experience of over 20 yrs in Mental Health, as well as my professional training. I use both to support clients as they explore the complexities of their lives and the possibilities ahead. I am experienced as a psychodynamic psychotherapist. A key difference from more symptom-focused models is that psychodynamic therapy assumes meaning beneath symptoms. Anxiety, depression, anger, even procrastination — these aren’t just problems to eliminate but communications to understand. Change can happen quickly when someone gains a clear insight to 'why'

Throughout our lives we encounter situations that challenge us. Sometimes we just can't get passed them, we get stuck and cannot seem to find a solution. As a result we become anxious, stressed or even depressed. I work with clients in a non directive way through psychoanalysis, which allows the client look at their situation or problems, explore the potential causes and find a way of dealing with them. There is no 'one size fits all' solution to personal difficulties, everyone's experience is unique and the psychoanalytic approach allows the client find a solution that is individual to their situation.

You´re looking for a Therapist because, in part, you want to understand yourself and know how to change. You want to understand what's holding you back and feel empowered to live a fulfilling life.

I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist (Pre-Acc) who welcomes clients from any walk of life, offering sessions both in and out of traditional working hours.
I work psychoanalytically which means the only thing required of you in sessions is that you speak. Psychoanalysis is particularly useful for those who feel stuck in a repetitive cycle or on an issue in which previous attempts at resolution have not been successful.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
