About me and my therapy practice

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, whether you are seeking support for yourself as a young adult or navigating challenges with your child.

I am a Child, Adolescent, and Young Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist with over 10 years of clinical experience across NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)—including inpatient, outpatient, and forensic settings—as well as educational and charitable sectors.

I work with children, young adults, parents, and families navigating a broad range of emotional, developmental, and relational difficulties. Alongside my clinical practice, I provide clinical supervision, consultation, and reflective practice for professionals and organizations, as well as academic teaching.

Practice description

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore underlying feelings, anxieties, and patterns that are often difficult to express in words.

Rather than offering quick fixes, my approach focuses on developing a shared understanding of what lies beneath presenting behaviors or distress. Working through these root causes helps shift unhelpful patterns, fosters deeper self-awareness, and supports emotional resilience and meaningful change.
