My experience enables me to offer effective individualized, psychological care. I am a licensed Psychodynamic therapist in the UK and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I have experience in helping clients with depression and anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, & eating disorders. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
My focus is to provide specialised counselling and psychotherapy services to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and helping you identify aspects you would like to focus on to help create a happier and more fulfilling way of being.
Are you suffering with depression and/or anxiety, or the effects of abuse, low self esteem?
My goal is to provide expert counselling and psychotherapy services to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.

Chinese Proverb
Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy is a modern model of traditional Psychoanalysis. Psychodynamic therapists believe the mind is dynamic with different forces (these forces can sometimes be opposing) working within us simultaneously at any one time. The forces within our psyche 'colour' our views of ourself and the world around us and influence the way we live our lives and the choices we make.
Our past experiences leave us with impressions - some we can recognise, and others have unconsciously been taken on board. When we approach new situations we bring with us our past experiences to make sense of the 'here and now'. Difficulties may arise when unhelpful patterns of behaviour/ways of relating which were instilled earlier on are then applied to the present. Psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy helps to identify unhelpful patterns so they can be recognised and thought about consciously and thus, providing us with a greater understanding of our selves and improving our ability to make the changes we desire.
Sessions are normally held once or twice per week (fortnightly work is also considered), at the same time on the same day to create a stable routine and to help build trust in the process. There is not assigned homework and the therapist does not have an agenda but works directly with that which the client chooses to bring. The therapeutic relationship is believed to be a key ingredient to understanding our established patterns of relating and can be a powerful tool for helping us understand ourselves and our personal dynamics.
