I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with over a decade of experience working with adults on a
one-to-one, weekly basis. Whatever my clients bring, I’m passionate about supporting people to live
whole, fulfilling, creative lives.

Psychodynamic therapy subscribes to the idea that events in our past, which may or may not be
consciously known to us, could be impacting the way we relate to people and the world around us in
our present. Clients come with a wide range of emotional difficulties. The ways we are affected by,
and deal with adverse life experiences is unique to each individual. I provide a warm, confidential
and non-judgemental space in which we can learn more about what you’ve been through and
navigate a way through it.

Some issues may be long-standing and may require what we call open-ended therapy, and others
may result from a particular traumatic event or series of events. Having worked within the London
Metropolitan Police Service, I have experience helping clients to process traumatic events using a
focussed, short-term model.

Finding the right therapist is important. I offer consultations, which may involve us meeting for up to
two sessions, to help us understand your needs. This also allows you to get a feel for the way I work
and decide if you’d like to continue seeing me. This is always an open conversation – my goal is for
you to get what you need from your therapy, whether that is with me, or someone else.

I maintain a high standard of service through continued professional development courses, and I’m
accredited by the UKCP. I trained at WPF Therapy, one of the UK’s leading institutions for academic
and clinical practice. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy.
