“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” – C. G. Jung
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is centred around the idea that the unconscious plays a big role in our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Our early experiences shape how we relate to others later in life. It may be that patterns of behaviour that felt helpful in the past are now creating challenges for you.
I offer a quiet and non-judgmental space to explore your internal world. By expressing your thoughts and feelings freely you may be able bring some unconscious material into awareness, with the process allowing you to transform the way you think and see things.
I am a UKCP registered psychoanalytic candidate and a training member of the Association for Group and Individual Psychotherapy (AGIP). In addition to my private practice, I facilitate group therapy in a therapeutic community and have extensive experience working in hospitals and forensic settings. I work in a sensitive and trauma-informed way. Areas of CPD include understanding intergenerational trauma, Compassion Focused Therapy and working with sexual abuse and self harm.
Thinking about getting therapy can be daunting and overwhelming. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how psychotherapy works, or to arrange an initial consultation. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to therapy, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
Sessions last 50 minutes usually taking place on a weekly basis and cost £55 per session. I also provide a limited number of long-term low fee spaces for students or those on low income: contact me to enquire about availability.
Online and/or telephone appointments are available.
