About me and my therapy practice
I work psychodynamically, which can feel different to other therapies, like CBT. My approach is to work at your pace, exploring what you feel is coming up for you, sometimes noticing patterns and making connections to other aspects of your life. Our sessions are confidential and they offer a space where you can gently explore what’s on your mind and what’s going on for you in your life, in a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere. Often people describe feeling ‘held’ emotionally in these sessions, where feelings can be felt, and contained.
Practice description
The sessions also provide the opportunity for some gentle challenge to help us to see what might not have been thought about or noticed before and to explore how your past is coming through in your current life, in a way that may no longer be helpful. I offer a chance to reflect on the difficulties or problems you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment, with someone from outside your day-to-day life. Together we can explore your situation in a way that leads to fresh perspectives — and perhaps a new understanding of yourself.My first session
I offer face to face sessions, and also online. Sessions are £50. I usually suggest that you contact me, via email, for an initial discussion, with no obligation. We can arrange an initial 15-minute free phone call or 30-minute free face-to-face meeting to get a sense of how we could work together and to answer any questions or worries that you may have.
