Please contact me as I often have emergency availability.  I also work during the weekend on Zoom, WhatsApp, Face to Face & Phone.

I am a  psychodynamic psychotherapist and have been working with clients for over 25 years. My clients are from diverse backgrounds and a range of ages plus couples.  

Do you have problems in relationships, work, family, shame, confidence, communication depression or lack of purpose  and personal issues.  I will help you and give you tools to deal with issues.  

 I have experience as a in CEO business as well as the arts including the wellness industry.  I have worked as a NED in advising businesses in mental health strategies.

My practice is to work in relation to you.  There are always many reasons you will come to therapy.  I first work with the presenting problem and follow on with underlying issues.

"Drawing from over 25 years of experience as a seasoned psychodynamic psychotherapist, I offer personalized support to individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds and ages. Whether grappling with relationship dynamics, work-related stress, family issues, or existential dilemmas like shame, depression, or purposelessness, each challenge is met with empathetic listening, deep understanding, and tailored guidance. With a unique background spanning CEO roles, the arts, and the wellness industry, I bring a multifaceted perspective to our sessions. As a Non-Executive Director (NED), I've honed skills in strategic thinking and organizational dynamics. Additionally, I host workshops that blend psychological insights with spiritual awakenings, fostering holistic growth and self-awareness. Let's embark on your transformative journey together."I work with a young adults and above and with couples.

I listen to your story without judgment and reflect on your life to make sense of your unconscious and conscious clues. Our dialogue explores patterns as they emerge.  We assess their usefulness in your adult life.  By doing this and finding your motivation your road becomes clearer. Bringing the unconscious to consciousness help us navigate our next steps. Much of our behaviour, impulses and beliefs are hidden from us but once we are aware of their origin we can review and if necessary change 

I  speak to you on the phone so we can discover our ability to communicate.  

 I bring all my knowledge training and experience to your sessions. The sessions are for you will all the help and support that is needed. Our therapeutic relationship can help you find your way. Losing your focus, not sure which direction to take, difficulty making friends are symptoms. Anxiety, fear, work related issues, couples problems, uncertainty, fear of failure and suicidal ideation, stress, depression, pressure, trauma, addiction, relationship issues, bereavement, ADHD, low self esteem, self harm all these are symptoms of our inner unconscious overwhelming us.

We cannot do this alone. and hold workshops for psychological types and integrating spiritual awakenings.

I supervise therapists as well as therapists.  The work therapists engage in is demanding and may need a second eye to help see the dynamic between themselves and their  client.  This is the work of a supervisor.   I also help students with their work and with their stressful university problems.

Our dialogue explores patterns as they emerge and your road becomes clearer.  Our unconscious is the container for much of our behaviour, beliefs and impulses.     Bringing the unconscious to consciousness help us navigate our next steps and helps us recognise our true SElF.     We cannot do this alone.

My first session is to find out about you.  Your medical and personal history.  Also your concerns and immediate issues.  Your family background also has a profound affect on your behaviour and expectation and I will find out as much as I can during this session. I will also give support in those areas immediately where necessary if there is a crisis.   

Everyone is different even though the symptoms maybe the same and the root cause of the issue is paramount.  There can also be environmental and work related issues surrounding the difficult area. We will deal with all areas that impact on you.

We will also during this session find out if we are suited to each other.  You need to be comfortable with me in order to develop trust.
