About me and my therapy practice

I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling for adults with emotional and relationship difficulties. I have extensive experience of working in the NHS and the voluntary sector, and now in private practice.

I am qualified to provide a safe, reliable and confidential therapy practice.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy involves listening to what is going on underneath the surface, in order to understand emotional pain and problematic patterns.

It can be a very effective treatment approach for a range of problems, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship or sexual difficulties, eating problems, emotional constriction, fear of intimacy, or feelings of being stuck or held back.

Psychotherapy offers a space where we can work together, to help you face whatever is holding you back and come to terms with the problems that you have encountered or which have been avoided. The aim is to understand the root cause of the difficulties, rather than simply treating the symptoms.

By helping you to understand yourself better, therapy can provide you with self-awareness and resilience. This enables you to connect authentically with yourself and others, and to develop your creative potential in your own way.
