About me and my therapy practice

About me

I am a psychodynamic therapist working in person with children, young people and their families. I also see adults individually. I have worked in state educational primary and secondary settings and third sector addressing a wide range of issues, including behaviour, depression, anxiety, relationships, bereavement, neurodivergence, disordered eating, gender, trauma, self-harm and suicidality. Alongside my private practice, I also work in a London-based mental health service.

I trained with the Tavistock and Portman and qualified with Birkbeck University of London (Msc). I am accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am also a full member of the Birkbeck Counselling Association.

I am insured and DBS checked and can provide sessions in English and Portuguese.

I work with the following UK insurers: Aviva and Vitality.

How the sessions work

You start by getting in touch with my practice and if you leave your name and number, I will call you back as soon as possible. We can then try and arrange a time to meet. If we decide that we can work together, we meet in person weekly. The sessions take place at the same time and place and last 50 minutes.

Practice description

How I work

It is very difficult to feel alone with a problem that we think cannot be shared or understood. Therapy aims to help alleviate psychological loneliness through connection and understanding.

Psychodynamic therapy is a type of talking therapy that tries to explore the unconscious motivations behind behaviour and emotions. However, I do not see myself as an expert in your life. I work in a very relational way to help you make sense of your worries, patterns of behaviour and relationships.

I believe that a safe space, a supportive, interested relationship, and a warm, non-judgemental approach can help you think and re-discover the inner resilience needed to move forward with confidence and creativity.
