I have limited availability for in person sessions on Tuesdays and  current availability online, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Psychodynamic therapy is a way of thinking together and finding ways through painful and overwhelming feelings you may be experiencing right now. By thinking about your experiences in the context of early relationships, and how they return and emerge in the present, you may find new perspectives on how you feel about yourself, and the world around you.

We can make our way together and look at alternative responses to coping with what troubles you by freely associating words and thoughts to your feelings, to explore ways of understanding and recognising your experiences as they emerge on the journey of therapy. 

I work at your own pace to listen and respond to what you say and try to offer a safe container for your feelings. 

Feeling, overwhelmed, depression, anxiety, loneliness or afraid something terrible could happen? Giving voice to your feelings can be a way of finding alternative responses to these painful feelings. I offer the convenience and flexibility of online therapy.​

​I work with people in diverse counselling and therapeutic settings and share in the experience of working with a range of psychological disturbances. I understand that talking helps to alleviate pain and may offer relief to feelings of anxiety, depression or trauma.​

 I understand that talking helps to alleviate pain and may offer relief to feelings of anxiety, depression or trauma.

​I have had many years of experience working with people aged 55+. I recognise that there may be particular feelings of loneliness, isolation, dependency, and possible physical or mental deterioration, which relate to new life changing experiences. 

I offer time limited therapy as well as therapy with no fixed end date. 

I offer you one session each week, which would be on an agreed day and hour. This would be fixed. The space would be yours, but means that if you missed a session, you would pay for that session. You would not pay if I miss a session or for my holiday breaks.

I offer sessions online or on the phone, and some limited space for face to face therapy.

I can offer a free 15 minute phone consultation for you to find out more and if you have any questions about working with me.
