Practice description

I am a long standing strong advocate of psychodynamic psychotherapy, recognising that silence is the perfect habitat for anxiety to grow. I offer a specialist practice for children, adolescents and young adults, offering weekly one-to-one psychotherapy on an open ended basis either face to face in Kensington or online. The therapeutic alliance lies at the heart of my practice, creating a nurturing and containing space which feels safe and accepting of you, just as you are. Together we explore and come to understand your inner world and identify behavioural patterns which might be holding you back from your potential, desires and authenticity. Within the psychodynamic model we are curious about the unconscious mind and our early experiences and the profound impact they have on our lives. Additionally I work with psychosomatic presentation, exploring where anxious or depressive thoughts may be expressed in the body (soma) offering strategies to support the regulation of a dysregulated nervous system. When we begin to notice our own patterns and understand the purpose our defences once served, we begin the healing process, becoming more grounded in awareness of ourselves and accepting that uncertainty does not have to mean danger.
