About me and my therapy practice
About Me
I work from a psychodynamic perspective, which focuses on the influence of unconscious thoughts, early experiences, and the ongoing conflict between biological drives and societal expectations. My approach helps clients explore and understand their emotions and unconscious patterns of behavior. By talking through these emotions and experiences, clients gain deeper insights into their feelings, behaviors, and relationships, leading to lasting personal growth and healing.
I am an Accredited MBACP and an experienced counsellor/psychotherapist, practicing in both Exeter and Bristol. I offer one-to-one psychotherapy and couple relationship counselling in a private and confidential setting, designed to foster a safe space for personal exploration and change.
My Qualifications
I hold a Master’s degree (MSc) in Psychological Therapies: Practice and Research, specialising in Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic therapy, from the University of Exeter. I also earned a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the same university and hold a Diploma in Counselling from Exeter College. In addition, I have trained at Tavistock Relationships, London, where I specialised in Couple Work Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Experience
With over 8 years of experience, I have worked in various settings, including private practice, independent and charitable organizations, and the NHS. My experience encompasses working with adults, couples, and young people in different therapeutic capacities.
Areas of Expertise
- Relationships and Marriages issues
- International students
- Multicultural backgrounds
- Identity crisis
- Eating Disorder
- Body image
- Mood Disorder
- Domestic violence and abuse
- Trauma/PTSD
How I Can Help
In both individual and relationship therapy, my role is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can openly discuss what’s on your mind. I aim to help you communicate more effectively and guide you toward reaching your own conclusions about the way forward.
Practice description
I have experience working with both time-limited therapy (up to 20 sessions) and long-term, open-ended therapy.
Psychodynamic therapy is usually long-term and open-ended, with:
1. Regular sessions on the same day and time each week
2. Each session lasting 50 minutes
3. Flexibility to have as many sessions as needed
I work with teenagers, adolescents, midlife, and older adults, offering tailored support for each stage of life.
My first session
An assessment as the first session is designed to help clarify your needs and concerns, and to consider how to proceed. There is no obligation to continue afterward.
I offer a 15-minute free consultation via Zoom or telephone in order to best meet your needs, and before booking the first session.
I also offer support for those experiencing financial difficulty. Please contact or email me to discuss your situation.
