About me and my therapy practice

Hello, I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. Essentially, what that means is that my work is based on feelings. Sounds simple, right? People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons & all kinds of perceived problems. Often feelings of being  unsettled & a sense of discomfort are related to unhealthy patterns connected to unresolved historic (childhood)  issues. In other words, our past experiences & relationships play an integral part in our current behaviour & responses to  situations.  

Therapy is about understanding what motivates us to do what we do & why we do it. Through speaking, together,  we can begin to examine & detangle our psychic past. With understanding there is potential for ‘ah ha’ moments that allow us to make different choices about life & our relationships. 

I invite you to come, meet with me, in a non-judgemental space & explore what it means to be You. 

Practice description

We will meet for one to two initial assessment sessions, for approximately 90 minutes each to allow us to see what it is like to sit & work together. After this, should we decide that we would like to continue, sessions are weekly, on a specific day for 50 minutes. Missed sessions incur the normal fee
