I am a BACP-accredited psychodynamic psychotherapist, and I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for individuals to explore the questions and issues which may be causing difficulties in their lives. People seek psychotherapy for many reasons, and the emphasis in our work will be exploring what is important to you, at a pace which suits you.
I also draw on ideas from existentialism, Daoism and other philosophies offering valuable guides on the task of living well.
I am also mindful of the social and cultural forces surrounding us and the ways in which sexuality, gender, ethnicity, faith, age and class form us. I aim above all to build therapeutic relationships in which individuals feel able to speak about anything they wish to – perhaps the only space in their lives where they can do so. I have experience of working both with adolescents and adults, and with gender- and sexuality-questioning individuals.
I am experienced in working with
Depression
Anxiety
Relationships
Life transitions

Meaning of life questions

In addition to my work as a therapist I am also a qualified fitness, Tai Chi and boxercise instructor and I have extensive experience working with individuals and groups wishing to explore the many benefits regular exercise can have on mental health.
