About me and my therapy practice

I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist working with adults (aged 18+) in the NHS and in private practice in Hastings, East Sussex

You may be seeking counselling for a particular problem e.g. depression, anxiety, identity issues, relationship difficulties, bereavement. Or you may struggle to define what is wrong. I provide a safe, confidential space in which we can explore together, your thoughts and feelings and try to make sense of the issues.

The Psychodynamic Approach

A central idea is that our childhood experiences continue to shape our lives in adulthood, both in ways we can recognise but also in ways that we may not. One of its aims is to make more of our unconscious available to our conscious awareness. With greater understanding of ourselves we have more freedom over the choices we make and ultimately, can lead more fulfilling lives. Part of the therapeutic process involves facing up to challenging or uncomfortable thoughts and feelings but over time this can enable us to feel better equipped to manage our emotions rather than repressing them or feeling overwhelmed by them.

Qualifications and Experience

Dynamics Interpersonal Therapy Practitioner (DIT) Anna Freud Centre

Practice description

How I work

We will meet for an inital one and a half hour consultation in order to determine if this therapy is suitable for you. I will ask you about your background, key relationships and current life circumstances.

If you decide to go ahead, we would then meet weekly for a 50 minute session.  I will also advise whether you would most benefit from short, longer term or open-ended therapy.  If I feel that you would benefit from a different kind of therapy or service, I would explain the reasons for this to you and make suitable recommendations.
