It’s a very difficult, but important step you’ve taken already - recognising how you feel – and wanting to do something about it.

Whether you feelings are connected to a recent loss, breakdown in a relationship, anxiety related to work/studies, trauma, abuse or addiction – psychotherapy has the potential to help you.

As a qualified psychotherapist, I offer a safe, trusting environment where the pace is determined by you. Over time, we can explore your feelings, memories and experiences, understanding the unconscious defences you’ve used to protect yourself in your everyday life. Together, we will make sense of this and work towards helping you find new and alternative ways of coping in the future.

I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist, with an MSC from Birkbeck, University of London.

I’ve worked with clients on a broad range of issues, including: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, relationship issues and loss.

Over the last 3 years, I’ve been part of Waterloo Community Counselling (WCC), working on a short and long term basis with clients across different ages, sexual orientations, religions and ethnic backgrounds. I work therapeutically with clients, using psychodynamic principles to help them make sense of their deep-rooted feelings and work towards resolving them for a happier, healthier life.

Additionally, I am a specialist mental health mentor, working with university students who are experiencing a range of issues in the course of their studies. Utilising both my professional mentoring experience and therapeutic knowledge, I create a trusting environment to help clients develop coping strategies that work for them

I am able to offer psychotherapy on either a short-term or long-term basis, using Skype, telephone or in person. I am able to offer sessions in Lincoln and have some availability in London.
