About me and my therapy practice
Me and my practice
I am a psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist (MSc, MÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ registered, DBS checked). I have worked in various settings such as a crisis retreat, charity, community counselling service, and a university.
My approach is motivated by my curiosity and artistic nature, creatively engaging, supporting, and adapting to your needs. You lead the sessions, bringing whatever comes to your mind, such as memories, ideas, thoughts, feelings, wishes, dreams, and fantasies, including any encounters or reactions to the world around you, including me or the therapy itself. We will explore what arises in the session to make sense of emotions, events, relationships, identity, and conscious and unconscious patterns of thoughts and actions. I often view things differently and can identify and make sense of patterns of thought and behaviour, which can help offer insight.
Clients I work with
I support individual adults 18+ with a range of issues. I have extensive experience working with identity (cultural, ethnic and national, gender, neurodivergent), trauma (neglect, psychological and physical abuse, intergenerational, medical), loss and grief (loss of a loved one, mourning an impending loss), and life transitions (navigating life at university, life in another district or country, divorce, redundancy).
Practice description
Together we can
• Explore why you feel stuck, fearful or anxious, depressed, guilty, ashamed, angry, or empty and ambivalent. Make sense of overwhelming feelings, impulses, and repetitive patterns of relating or coping with becoming consciously responsive rather than reactive.
• Unlock your true feelings, opinions, needs, wishes and desires, or unpack the box of bothersome memories and unprocessed experiences and events that have been niggling away at you. Look at past relationships, culture, religion, or environmental conditions that affect and influence you.
• Find yourself again. Explore your wishes and needs, interests, values, and beliefs. Identify and appreciate differences. Build a better relationship with yourself and others: compassionate, self-assured, honest, and with healthy boundaries.
• Accept and manage change. Discussion, reflection, and insight can help facilitate awareness of unconscious motivations and restraints. Explore your difficulties, concerns, losses, or grief. Nurture your inner strength, confidence, and compassion.
Engaging with a non-biased, curious, and empathic professional providing consistent support can release tension and grief, deepen self-awareness, form a new relational experience and broader perspective, and help identify ways to manage life better.
My first session
Connect with me
I offer a free 15-minute Zoom video call, which is an opportunity to meet with each other, briefly explain your situation, and ask questions.
Before any work commences, I will send you an assessment form. Once completed in full and returned, I offer an initial 50-minute session to discuss your presenting issue in greater detail and gather some background information. It is an opportunity to experience working together and to help decipher whether my approach is suitable, with no obligation to commit (sometimes an alternative method or specialised service would be better).
If we agree to embark, I will send you the contract and privacy notice. Please read the documents carefully—they answer many questions about the therapist and client's commitment and responsibilities, relevant fees, and policies. Once agreed upon, signed, and returned, therapy will commence.
