About me and my therapy practice
I can help you to make sense of difficult feelings relating to anxiety, depression or low self-esteem. You may be aware of repeated patterns of behaviour that seem impossible to break, or you may be feeling overwhelmed or angry. Whatever the issue, I can help you to explore and identify the root cause of your difficulties. This can provide you with a greater understanding of yourself and an increased sense of wellbeing.
I specialise in open-ended psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults. This means that we will work together to identify your unconscious processes and your automatic thought patterns. The problems we experience as adults are often related to our childhood, and together we can carefully navigate through your life to help you gain clarity and insight into yourself.
Practice description
My consulting room is situated 2 miles from Basingstoke town centre in the beautiful setting of Worting House. There is a bus stop outside the building, plus a large free car park.
I understand how difficult it is to ask for help and that approaching a psychotherapist is a big step. I provide a warm and empathic approach where we will work collaboratively to work at your pace to explore and understand the material you bring.
I work with clients who present with a wide range of issues. These include anxiety, depression, low self esteem, trauma, abuse, relationship difficulties and loss.
My first session
I want to ensure that you will benefit from psychotherapy, and that I am the right therapist for you. I will therefore treat our first 3 meetings as assessment sessions. This will give you an experience of psychotherapy and we can think about if this approach suits you. If we decide that alternative type of therapy, or a different therapist would be a better fit, I can help you to find a suitable therapist to work with you.
