I am a BACP Accredited Psychodynamic therapist with a background in Psychology and primary care interventions.

My individual approach is based on what I believe is the core part of therapy: building an accepting and trusting relationship between therapist and client. I will encourage you to talk freely about whatever comes to mind - there is no right or wrong thing to say - and I will invite you to feel heard and to take part in a healing process that will allow you to get insight into both your difficulties and your strengths. By achieving this level understanding through reflection, people can become more attuned with their feelings, recognise how these affect their behaviour and relationships, and gain mastery of their live.

*I am now registered with AXA Health so if you are insured with AXA, you can contact your personal advisor and request to have therapy with me.

I fundamentally use Psychodynamic therapy in my practice, which focuses on unpacking the conscious and unconscious mental processes that influence one´s way of being in relation to ourselves, others, and the world. In other words, this type of therapy is aimed to help people develop self-awareness and understanding of the dynamic influence of our past experiences on present behaviours, attitudes, and emotions. There may be things in your unconscious mind that you are not fully aware of and are painful or keeping you stuck. I will help you look for these patterns and understand them. We find what is keeping you stuck, and we dive deep in to be able to gently move in a new direction. 

I have experience working with other theoretical models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Humanistic or Gestalt techniques. In this sense, I see the value in integrating concepts from different therapeutic models and being flexible to provide the care that each individual client might need.

I offer a 15-minute initial consultation for free, where I would love to hear what is bringing you to therapy and you can ask as many questions as you wish. That way, we can both assess whether we are a good match, and decide if we can work together by the end of the video call.

Finding a therapist can be a difficult part of the process. If you are looking for one, that’s already a sign that you are willing to give this a go and commit to the work.

It has probably taken you some time to get to this point, but now you feel ready. That’s a great start. Now, how can you know if a therapist is the right fit for you? It is one of those situations in which you have to try and see if there is a connection between you and your therapist.

It is believed that the therapeutic relationship that is built between therapist and client is one of the most important aspects of positive change and success in therapy.
