Psychodynamic Therapy

I’m here to understand your life’s intricacies and offer an integrative approach to therapy. With a master’s degree in Psychology and ongoing training in Depth Psychotherapy, I draw inspiration from various therapies, including CBT, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness.

My counselling approach is centred around shared goals, with a focus on inspiring positive change and enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals and families.

I take pride in contributing positively to the well-being of families, children, and individuals, emphasizing the significance of healthy relationships, effective communication, and emotional well-being in my counselling practice.

My aim is to provide a safe, confidential space to explore what is bothering you, and help you grow a deeper understanding of who you are. I know the courage it can sometimes take to come to therapy, and if we choose to work together, I see my role in being alongside you as such a privilege.

Welcome. Reaching out for professional help can be an important step forward for your own mental well-being and the health of your relationships, yet it can be a hard step to take. I work in a respectful and collaborative way, providing the space for you to gain insight into your relationship and your life. Understanding your relationships can help you better understand and connect with yourself and others.

I offer confidential empathetic opportunities for people to explain their difficulties or circumstances and then guide them to clarify the issues and explore practical strategies and alternatives for working through these challenges and moving towards satisfactory resolutions.

My work has given me the privilege of working with a wide range of people with differing backgrounds and circumstances with whatever brings them to therapy: low mood, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, repeating patterns, grief, and addictions. Sometimes people don’t know what brings them to therapy. They might not feel right, and have a need for clarity – therapy is often a great place for addressing this.

People working with me bring a wide range of concerns including (but not limited to); life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, domestic violence, existential crises, grief, chronic health issues etc.

I also work with older teenagers online but not those under 15 years of age.
