My approach
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the understanding that much of our emotional life is shaped by unconscious processes, patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour that may have developed early in life and remain out of awareness, even as they continue to influence how we live and relate.
​
Psychodynamic psychotherapy creates a space to explore these underlying patterns with care and depth. Through regular sessions in a safe, confidential setting, we begin to examine not only what is happening now, but why it might be happening and what unconscious meanings and conflicts may be at play.
​
The aim of this work is to support a deeper understanding of yourself and your inner world. Over time, this kind of insight can feel freeing and empowering, helping you make more conscious choices, feel more emotionally connected and move forward with greater clarity.
My qualifications and experience
​
I hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from Birkbeck, University of London. I work with adults (18+) from a wide range of backgrounds, offering a supportive and reflective space to explore challenges, understand underlying patterns and develop greater self-awareness.
​
My philosophy
​
“We don’t see the world as it is, we see the world as we are.”
“How we think is who we are.”
I believe our inner world shapes how we experience life and relationships. Often, unconscious patterns formed early on continue to influence how we think, feel and relate. Psychotherapy provides space to bring these patterns into awareness. At the heart of my philosophy is the belief that self-understanding is transformative: when we come to know ourselves more deeply, we can live with more clarity, freedom and integrity.
