I am fully qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist registered with the BACP, UKCP and BPC.

By speaking about whatever is troubling you, I believe psychodynamic therapy can help you reach a greater understanding of yourself and the issues you are currently facing. Understanding can bring opportunities for change and improvement in your quality of life, relationships and general wellbeing.

I work with a range of different issues but my work is always tailored to the individual as I believe each of us is a unique combination of our own thoughts, feelings, formative relationships and life experiences.

With that in mind, I usually work to an open-ended arrangement so the individual has the time they need to explore issues without the restrictions and pressures of working within a specific timescale.

Where it is clear that you would like to focus on a specific issue, I can also offer time-limited therapy where we would meet for a pre-agreed number of sessions.

I would usually suggest an initial call of around 10 minutes where we could discuss the issues you are seeking help with and see if it would be worthwhile for us to schedule an initial consultation.

Initial consultations can be between 60 and 90 minutes. This is longer than a regular therapy session so that we have enough time to discuss what has brought you to therapy, get a broader understanding of your life and experiences to date and discuss what you would like to get from your therapy sessions. The initial appointment also gives you the chance to experience what a therapy session with me would be like.

After the initial session, if we decide to meet on a regular basis, we would agree a mutually convenient day and time and meet at the same time each week for sessions of 50 minutes.
