I offer open-ended and short-term one to one psychodynamic therapy that pays attention to the patterns that may have developed in your relationship with yourself, with others and with the outside world. A period of difficulty or stress may bring you to therapy but as we talk you may find this resonates with other experiences you have had in your life.
I trained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist at Brighton University and Goldsmiths, University of London as a Movement Psychotherapist. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the Universities Psychotherapy and Counselling Association (UPCA) and the Association of Dance Movement Psychotherapy (ADMP).
I believe that one of the most important and informative aspects of therapy is the relationship we develop between us. This creates the trust that allows us to explore both your conscious thoughts and feelings as well as to access the rich, unconscious threads that also inform experience. Therapy has the potential to be a pleasurable experience even if we are talking about difficult or painful things and can often become a rewarding part of one's life.
I previously practised Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) which was designed to support people who can experience emotional dysregulation and challenges in their relationships and sense of self. I also have experience in working with neurodiversity, differing experiences of sexuality and working with people with a personality disorder diagnosis. I have also worked with mothers and their young children, and refugees and asylum seekers.
