About me and my therapy practice
My training culminated in an MA in Psychodynamic Counselling (now Psychotherapy).
A psychodynamic approach can be particularly helpful for us when we feel that we are experiencing challenges in our life that we are struggling to navigate. Sometimes we are aware of some patterns to our struggles or that we are becoming overwhelmed. Working in a relationship of trust with a professional might help us to make sense of our experience in a safe space that is free of judgment.
Practice description
Therapy is an invaluable way to work towards achieving resilience and peace of mind through life's personal cycles and challenges. I find that this works best in a genuinely collaborative relationship that encourages empathy and curiosity.
I work in private practice in the centre of Bishops Stortford.
I work with adults from age 18.
My first session
The first session lasts 50 minutes and often follows a preliminary telephone conversation . It gives us the opportunity to share practical information, begin to think about what has led you to consider counselling and answer any questions you may have.
This session is really important as it allows you time and space to decide whether I would be a good fit for you as you make this significant commitment.
