I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor trained at MSc level. Alongside private practice, I work as a university psychotherapist in Greater London. 

Prior to psychotherapy, my career as a nurse working in the NHS, the private sector, schools and across clinical specialities has supported my understanding and compassion of both physical and mental health.

Sometimes life can feel unmanageable- you may feel overwhelmed, troubled, or are experiencing emotional difficultly. Perhaps your thoughts feel confused and you don’t know where to begin. Exploring unresolved issues and conflicts through psychotherapy can reduce fears and anxieties leading to the experience of a more fulfilled life.

I work primarily in a psychodynamic way, letting you take the lead whilst creating an environment of warmth, empathy and understanding. The psychodynamic frame aims to offer a holistic treatment approach and a more thorough examination of the self. It is a way of thinking about ourselves and also ourselves in relation to others, allowing the opportunity to explore behavioural patterns and relationships. It helps to recognise how current feelings can be linked to earlier life experiences. This can help us to understand how difficulties from the past can impact our present, therefore affecting our day-to-day habits, emotions, behaviours, relationships and our physical & mental health.
