I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist meaning that my practice is based on working with, and understanding the unconscious. This involves creating a safe and trusting space where we can work together to identify how experiences in your early life affect you and your current life circumstances and relationships.

The unconscious is constantly at work and making this more conscious through understanding how these unknown parts play out in everyday life can give deep and meaningful insight about your circumstances, and therefore support meaningful change. Psychodynamic psychotherapy aims to delve deeper into the origins of your experiences.

I have worked in community organisations and the NHS, supporting people experiencing different levels of depression, anxiety, complex loss, low self esteem, complex trauma, abuse, self harm, relationship issues, anger, helplessness, etc.

I also work with people who are generally curious about themselves and want to gain deeper insight about who they are and their current circumstances.

I take interest in working with psychosocial experiences in terms of race, religion, sexuality, gender. I have a special interest in the experience of disabled people and those living with long term health conditions whether it be physical or neurodiversity.

These are experiences that affect how we see ourselves and how we are seen, and are therefore important lived experiences to acknowledge and understand.
