Professional Profile
Professional Profile:
I am a psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist. Perhaps you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Together we can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns at a pace that suits you.
I offer one-to-one psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy in a confidential setting. This form of therapy focuses carefully on what you bring, while seeking different ways of listening to, and understanding what those concerns might mean. This can help you develop a deeper understanding of your emotions, why you might behave in certain ways, and how this might affect your relationships. This kind of approach can also be beneficial with managing, processing and adapting to a change or loss in life. The aim is to address what's beneath the surface so that long-lasting change can flourish.
Typically, I work with people in an open-ended format, often for extended periods allowing for depth to develop within the work, but I also offer shorter-term options. We can work together in-person or remotely through online sessions or by phone.
I have extensive experience as a psychotherapist working within multiple NHS settings. Currently I hold a full-time position working within clinical health psychology.
