How do I work
What I offer
I offer long-term, open-ended psychotherapy and brief psychodynamic therapy, both of which can be beneficial for different needs, levels of intensity, and time frames.
Working Together Psychodynamically
My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in a psychodynamic understanding of the mind, one that recognises that our present experiences are shaped by both conscious and unconscious processes, as well as by our relationships, histories, and the meanings we make of them.
While I have particular areas of interest, I do not work within a fixed niche or limit the scope of what can be brought into the room. I work with the whole person. Whatever you choose to bring—thoughts, feelings, memories, or experiences—is welcome. This includes the parts that feel clear and easy to speak about, as well as those that may feel confusing, hidden, or difficult to put into words.
Why people come to therapy?
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be struggling with anxiety or stress, feeling low or depressed, or finding relationships difficult or painful. You might feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others. Sometimes the impact of early experiences or trauma continues to shape how you feel in the present, even if it is not immediately obvious how. Life transitions, grief and bereavement, or a sense of low self-esteem can also bring people to seek support. I also work with the mind-body connection, including medically unexplained symptoms, where emotional experiences may be expressed physically in ways that are hard to understand. Therapy offers a space to begin making sense of these experiences, at your own pace.
