About Me

About Me

I am a qualified psychotherapist, holding an MSc in Psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy from Birkbeck, University of London. As a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to their ethical framework, ensuring professional and confidential practice.

I bring a wealth of diverse experience to my private practice, having worked extensively across both the NHS and the charity sector. This background has given me valuable experience working with a wide range of individuals dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, loss, relationship difficulties, and complex trauma.

Understanding Psychodynamic Therapy

The core idea of Psychodynamic therapy is that our past experiences and unconscious patterns significantly shape our present feelings, thoughts, and relationships.

• Focus on the Past: We explore how early life experiences and relationships may be influencing your current behaviour and emotional responses.

• Unconscious Patterns: The therapy aims to bring recurring, often painful, unconscious patterns of relating into your awareness. By understanding why you respond the way you do, you gain the power to make conscious changes.

• The Therapeutic Relationship: By paying attention to the dynamics that arise between us (therapist and client), we can often discover and work through the patterns that are affecting your life outside the therapy room.

Ultimately, psychodynamic therapy offers not only immediate relief from symptoms, but also seeks a deeper, more lasting change by promoting self-awareness and emotional insight.
