About

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist offering once-weekly therapy sessions, both in person and online.

People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be struggling with something that feels difficult to understand or put into words, feeling stuck or uncertain, or trying to make sense of painful or traumatic experiences. Sometimes there is a clear sense of what is troubling you, or there may simply be a feeling that something is not quite right. You do not need to have all the answers, or even know exactly what brings you to therapy, to begin. Our feelings, relationships, and ways of responding to the world are shaped by a complex interplay of experiences, both past and present. In therapy, I offer a space to explore these experiences with curiosity and care, paying attention to what feels difficult, what may be harder to recognise, and patterns that might otherwise remain outside of awareness. Through this work, we can develop a deeper understanding of your experiences and difficulties, and explore how these have come to shape your ways of relating to yourself, others and the world.

My professional background spans academia and working with people across a range of fields, including the arts, medicine, law, and finance. I also have substantive experience within the third sector, supporting people affected by traumatic experiences, including sexual violence, as well as those experiencing suicidality and significant emotional distress. Additionally, I have led training for a leading suicide prevention charity. These experiences have shaped my understanding of the varied ways people experience distress, and the importance of approaching each person with sensitivity, openness, and without preconceptions. I aim to offer a respectful therapeutic space in which each person’s individual history, relationships, and wider circumstances can be explored and understood.
