My approach to therapy aims to help you better understand yourself, your experiences and develop insight into the thoughts and feelings that may be contributing to areas of difficulty in your life. It is through knowing ourselves better that we are able to engage with the world and others more productively. We can learn to recognise the things in our life that we can control, and accept those things that we cannot. Psychotherapy can provide you with the opportunity for personal growth and freedom, and offers the space to develop a deeper understanding of your relationships, not only with others, but also with yourself.
In seeking psychotherapy or counselling it may be there is a particular difficulty or issue that you feel needs your attention, or you might find yourself caught up in repetitive patterns that are unhelpful or problematic. You could be struggling emotionally, uncertain how to navigate your experience or feeling you have become stuck and unable to move forward in your life.
Working together in a safe, confidential space I would seek to support you to clarify your view on the challenges you are facing. Therapy gives you the opportunity to be listened to, to reflect, and I will work alongside you to reach a deeper understanding of what it is that might be preventing you from moving forward. Together we will try to overcome these obstacles.
ABOUT ME

TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE
I have undergone an extensive training and hold a professional qualification in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from WPF Therapy. I am a clinical member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling.
I have continued to develop and enhance my practice through further training and workshops held by Tavistock Relationships, Confer, British Psychotherapy Foundation and Institute of Psychoanalysis.
I also understand something of the expectations and concerns of embarking on a therapy journey, having been in therapy myself for a number of years.
Within my private practice I have worked with a diverse range of clients and have additional experience working in perinatal mental health services with mothers and young children.
