About me and my therapy practice

Hello. I'm an accredited therapist with the BACP who works from a psychodynamic approach. I am also trained in, and work with CBT. I work with adults, teens and older age and have a particular focus in anxiety & depression, OCD & intrusive thoughts, chronic illness/disability and LGBTQ+ issues.

However, I work with a wide variety of issues that cause distress. Maybe you’ve found yourself in crisis, or are struggling with an anxiety/worry that has come to dominate your life. Maybe you’ve experienced a distressing incident, loss or bereavement that has become overwhelming. Whatever the challenge is to your sense of safety, happiness and peace, I provide a containing and open space for you to explore yourself without judgment and to begin to meet the challenges in your life.

I offer an honest, trusting, and fundamentally collaborative approach to therapy. I tend to work with a psychodynamic approach, which means that I will encourage you to explore yourself in ways that are likely to include:

- your past and how you can relate it to the present
- your unconscious psychological life and conflicts, together with more conscious difficulties
- how you relate to others and how you have experienced others throughout your life.

I also work with CBT, which is an approach that focuses on thoughts, emotions, physical feelings and actions, and explores how each one can affect the other. I'd particularly encourage you to think about and identify negative thought processes and unhelpful beliefs, and work with you to develop more useful thinking.

I offer a free initial online consultation, where we can explore your needs.
