About me and my therapy practice

Many people experience emotional difficulties at some point in their lives, triggered by a particular event, or as a result of deeper unidentified issues. Talking to a psychodynamic therapist, in a safe and confidential environment, provides a unique opportunity to identify the themes and patterns of thought and behaviour that can generate emotional distress,. This can involve talking through past experiences and understanding how they impact you today. The relationship with the therapist is important, as it provides an opportunity to examine ways of thinking and relating in the here and now as well as developmental factors.I have a wide range of experience, having worked in the NHS for over 20 years - in both inpatient and community settings - and the charitable sector, as a psychotherapist, music therapist and bereavement counsellor. I offer open ended and time limited treatment. I work within strict guidelines for the profession, having regular supervision and CPD.

Practice description

I offer both open-ended and time-limited treatment. This can be discussed and agreed upon during the initial consultation or at any point during treatment.​ Sessions last 50 minutes and take place once or twice weekly. Typically I would charge £80 per session for the consultations and ongoing work - but the precise fee structure can be discussed and agreed during the first consultation and tailored to your circumstances.

My first session

After an initial conversation on the telephone I offer a consultation. This usually comprises one or two meetings of 1-1.5 hours so we can work together to determine whether psychodynamic psychotherapy is something that would be suitable for you. You can ask questions, experience how I work, and decide whether you feel comfortable working with me.
