I have worked for over ten years as a psychodynamic therapist, supporting people with relationship issues, self-esteem, self-sabotage, trauma, abuse and neglect, depression, anxiety, addiction, disordered eating, and questions around gender and sexuality.

Together, we will explore the choices you make, both conscious and unconscious. We’ll think about your dreams and ambitions, how you can help yourself, and the ways you might get in your own way.

We’ll look at your constellation of relationships: who lifts you, who drains you, and who gets under your skin. We’ll think about how comfortable you are with closeness and separation, and whether there are unmet needs that still shape your life.

We’ll look at your past in the light of your present and notice whether any patterns are repeating. We’ll also think about the future you want and what you’re doing now to move towards it.

We’ll think about what feeds your soul: time in nature, movement, music, sport, writing, art, or whatever helps you feel more like yourself. We’ll explore how you look after yourself, what gives you energy, and how you engage with the world around you.

I believe therapy works best when there is a clear frame. After our initial consultation, we’ll agree on a structure for our work together. We’ll think about how many sessions feel right and create a shared map from beginning to end.

From the start, I’ll ask where you’d like to be by the end of our work, so we can hold that in mind while staying open to whatever comes up along the way.

I ask for a commitment to weekly sessions, whether short-term or open-ended. 

I work in person and online with adults and adolescents, once or twice weekly for 50 minutes per session.

In the first session we will get to know each other and see how we might work together. 

We can identify your emotional goals and determine the shape of the work.

The session is 50 minutes and costs £60
