About me and my therapy practice
I have worked within mental health services for over 10 years and have seen the benefit counselling and psychotherapy can have on an individual's mental health. I believe having a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings greatly improves a person's mental health. I am trained to work psychodynamically.
I am also able to offer sessions in BSL or clear speaking if required for any d/Deaf clients.
Practice description
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a process of growth, self-discovery and change by exploring how current difficulties can be influenced by past early relationships. The psychodynamic method has its roots in psychoanalysis promoting 'free association', speaking freely about what comes to mind; to think about unconscious connections between the past and present experiences. Sessions are led by you, where we work together in understanding the issues you may bring. We can focus on whatever is on your mind on that day or in that moment. There is no how-to manual, no agenda and no formula. I believe that working together we can create a safe thinking space which enables deeper reflection on yourself as well as your experience of the people and the world around you.
My first session
Our first session will involve taking some history from you, asking about your upbringing and what currently brings you to therapy. We'll think about the work you’d like to do and explore how we can work together.
