I work with people who are in crisis or suffering repeated patterns in their lives, who are ready to turn things around, and are looking for a skilled, experienced and committed therapist to show them what is going wrong and how to change it.

I am a UKCP accredited and Íø±¬ÃÅ registered with 12 years of experience working as a Psychotherapist.

I specialise in an advanced Psychotherapy that accelerates psychological change.

There are always reasons for psychological suffering, and when we do not tackle the underlying causes, this suffering tends to be repeated throughout our lives.

I aim to help you resolve the difficulties you bring in a collaborative, focused and emotionally therapeutic way.

Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy has been developed to make therapy more effective, efficient and cost-effective.

Therapy can be life-changing; bringing confidence, vitality, purpose, a realisation of potential, and more satisfying relationships.

ISTDP is evidenced to be effective for a broad range of emotional and psychological issues, such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, emotional, thought or behavioural issues, medically unexplained symptoms such as pain and fatigue, mood and personality disorders, and for enhancing one’s experience of life.

My approach involves Deliberate Practice which means I continually review my work independently and with senior colleagues.  This ensures I'm working to the best possible standard, helping you achieve your goals in the shortest possible time.

I also continually ask my clients for feedback on how they are responding to the therapy on how things are progressing for them.

These checks and background work are akin to quality control; the therapy can be attuned accordingly, allowing for any misattunements to be corrected, and to reduce drawn-out suffering and stuckness.

Deliberate Practice and Client Feedback is known to improve quality of practice and overall outcomes.

What to expect

I will join forces with you in helping you overcome whatever it is that is causing problems in your life in the following ways: 

- Coming equipped with a sophisticated knowledge of the unconscious, core attachment needs and relational processes, along with a set of therapeutic and technical skills.

- Acting as an active advocate for the innate, constructive, creative, healing forces of the unconscious; aiming to mobilise this positive force within you.

- Actively sharing my observations, and encouraging self-observation. This empowers you to own what is yours, and to act on your own behalf; becoming your own therapist when life requires it, after the therapy ends.

- Welcoming and engaging with all resistances, rather than finding them problematic or a signal to back off.

- Continually assessing the way anxiety is discharged in the body, and the ways in which you might unconsciously and automatically defend against this anxiety and subsequent feelings. This means the work can progress more rapidly, as it moves in accordance with the capacity of your feelings/anxiety system in each moment.

- Being as open, honest, compassionate and straight-forward with you as I possibly can, at all times.

I offer an initial phone call or Zoom video call in order that you can get a feel for things, and ask any questions.

The first session is usually a double session in order to allow time to get to the bottom of the matter from the very start.
