Thank you for your interest in my practice. I have been working as a psychodynamic psychotherapist for over 12 years with individuals and for over 6 years with couples. My two in-depth trainings in individual and couple psychodynamic psychotherapy and my experience working in charitable settings as well as in 2 NHS Trusts has given me a broad perspective which I bring to my private practice. 

Over the years I have enjoyed working with individuals and couples from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures. I have seen how the experience of feeling heard and also of working through failures of understanding in therapy can develop resilience and lead to positive change.

While my main approach is psychodynamic I also keep up-to-date with developments in psychotherapy more generally and draw on other modalities where needed. I am particularly interested in recent developments in working with clients with ADHD and Autism, those who have experienced trauma, and those who bring sexual difficulties. 

I worked for 3 years at Tavistock Relationships (TR) in their parenting service and contributed a chapter to their book “Couples as Parents” (Routledge, 2024). As a senior therapist I often work with therapists and counsellors in training as well as those who are themselves qualified and I help to assess psychotherapy trainees. 

I hold a BA Hons and an MSc in the Humanities. My background before becoming a psychotherapist was as a journalist and producer specialising in international affairs.
