Maybe you feel something isn't right in your life but you don't know what's wrong. Perhaps you've been struggling with sadness, low self-esteem, relationship struggles or difficulty with intimacy. Therapy can give you the time and space to talk freely about the things which trouble you in a supportive space.

I offer Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, a form of therapy that prioritises the parts of ourselves we don't understand, and emphasises that there are explanations for the feelings we find difficult. With more understanding we can gain greater freedom to enjoy love, play, work and the challenges of life.

I can work with you to explore new ways of thinking and feeling, letting you see old habits and events in new light. I see this as a collaborative process between us, where we can jointly build our understanding of how your emotional self relates to your life, your relationships, and to wider society.

I will listen to whatever you need to talk about without judgment.

I work with people from a range of backgrounds but have particular experience with people from the LGBT+ community, including those with substance dependence issues. I also work in NHS community mental health settings.

I work with clients in person from my practice in London Bridge and also online.

I work with people weekly as I feel this is necessary to build the rhythm and trust needed for deeper forms of work.

Our first session is a chance for us meet and discuss the kind of work you wish to do. I will ask about your history, hopes and expectations from therapy, and you will be able to ask me questions and get a sense of what it will be like to work with me.

The initial session is usually quite structured and you will likely have a lot to tell me, in which case I may suggest we continue our introductory work into a second session.

I will go through the contract which covers confidentiality, payments, cancellation and holiday policy and will provide you with a copy to read in your own time as well.
