I provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults, with experience in helping them navigate challenges such as anxiety, stress, self- esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and loss. Using a psychodynamic approach, I work with clients to explore unconscious patterns, past experiences, and emotions that shape their present struggles, fostering deeper self awareness and lasting change. 

 

I have gained a rich and varied experience helping adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds through my ten years of work as a social worker in the NHS and training in Cape Town, South Africa. I have specialised and completed a Master's in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy at Goldsmiths, University of London working with adolescents and adults.

 

My practice offers a confidential, kind, and safe environment where you can speak openly and honestly,  helping to get to the root of the problems you may be struggling with. My goal is to help you gain insight and awareness about yourself, your relationships with others, and, overall, to help you cultivate a healthy sense of purpose, wellbeing, and quality of life.

​

As a psychotherapist working within a psychodynamic framework, I have gained experience with two homeless charities, supporting individuals facing severe mental health challenges, including PTSD, childhood trauma, depression, and substance misuse. I have also worked in a secondary school, helping adolescents navigate a variety of symptoms and issues.

Therapeutic process

 

Get in touch for an initial, confidential call (free of charge) to explore your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and some background information. This will help me understand how I can best support you and offer you a sense of what therapy might be like, as we explore the possibility of working together. Therapy can be open-ended or for a set period, with reviews approximately every six months. 

 

I offer individual psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. Sessions last 50 minutes and are typically held on a weekly basis.
