Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent many years working as a singer, songwriter and performer. That experience has shaped the way I think about identity, performance, vulnerability and the complicated relationship we can have with being seen by other people.
I’m particularly interested in the parts of ourselves that may have had to adapt, hide, perform or become highly self-reliant, and in what can happen when we begin to make more room for the less familiar parts of who we are. I work psychodynamically and am training in a Jungian approach. This means that, alongside whatever is happening in your life now, we may become curious about recurring patterns, earlier relationships, dreams, imagination and the emotional meanings that sit beneath the surface of things.
I don’t see therapy as a process of fixing someone or giving them a set of instructions; I see it as a relationship in which we can think together about what has shaped you, what may be keeping you stuck, and what else might be possible. People come to me with many different concerns, including anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, low self-esteem, questions about identity and periods of change or creative uncertainty.
I aim to offer a warm, thoughtful and non-judgemental space where you can speak freely and where the complexity of your experience is welcome. My particular interest is in helping people develop a richer understanding of themselves, rather than simply becoming better at coping with a life that does not feel like their own.
