​MY PRACTICE
You may be considering therapy because something specific is troubling you — such as anxiety, low mood, or difficulties in relationships — or you may not be entirely sure why you’re here, only that something doesn’t feel quite right.
​
My work is rooted in psychodynamic thinking. I pay close attention not only to what you say, but also to what may be harder to put into words. Being listened to in this way can make it possible to begin listening to yourself differently: to notice patterns, recurring difficulties, and aspects of your experience that may previously have felt out of reach.

I won’t offer advice or tell you what to do. Instead, I will think with you about what you bring, and may sometimes notice things that feel important, or difficult to approach directly.

The space is yours to fill: there is no fixed agenda, and no single way therapy is meant to go. Two people sit in a room together and talk; what emerges from that is often where the work begins.

I aim to offer a consistent space in which difficult or complicated things can gradually emerge and be thought about, whether for a fixed period or on an open-ended basis.

I also work with couples, offering a space to think together about patterns within the relationship, communication difficulties, and areas of conflict or disconnection.

​Fees are between £70 and £90 per 50-minute session, and some concessions are available.
