I have time slots available for in-person and online sessions during the week. Both day and evening times, with more flexibility available for online sessions.

We can discuss availability and time/date on the initial phone call which I offer free of charge. 

I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor, registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (Â鶹ԭ´´). I am committed to creating a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. My aim is to support you as you work through life’s challenges and begin to understand yourself on a deeper level.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety or low mood, relationship struggles, identity issues, or just feeling stuck, therapy can help you uncover patterns, gain perspective, and build emotional resilience. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you, moving at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive.

It can sometimes feel difficult to share our internal world with friends or family. Therapy offers a unique space where you can speak openly and honestly, free from judgement. My role is to offer you the understanding and support you need to express your true feelings, gain insight, and take steps toward meaningful change.

Therapy can involve facing challenging emotions or parts of yourself that you may have avoided. I will be alongside you throughout this process, offering compassion and guidance, so that real growth and lasting change can take place.

Psychodynamic counselling is a form of therapy that helps you explore yourself and your relationships more deeply like you might have never done before. By understanding the patterns behind your difficulties, it can bring clarity and make sense of feelings that may feel overwhelming and confusing for many years. At times, we may feel uncertain about how we react in certain situations or get caught between conflicting thoughts and feelings, I would like to help you make more sense of these feelings, patterns and connections from the past to your present.

During our time together, I aim to help you make sense of difficult feelings by exploring the links between past experiences and present challenges. This deeper understanding can open up new ways of responding to yourself and those around you.

My approach is collaborative and conversational. I believe therapy is a space where two minds come together to reflect, explore, and work through what feels most important to you. At the heart of this process is a trusting relationship, which I see as the key to real and lasting change. 

It is important that you feel comfortable talking to me and that we determine whether my approach is the right fit for you. We would first have a free initial consultation over a 20 minute call. Following which we would set a time and location for our first session together or online depending on your preference and availability. 

I work on an open-ended basis. This allows us to explore issues with the freedom of time but also not restricting ourself with a set number of sessions.

Psychodynamic counselling is most effective when sessions are regular and consistent, so I usually meet with clients once a week at a mutually agreed time.
