About me and my therapy practice
I'm an experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, which means I specialise in helping clients understand and process how past painful or traumatic experiences might be impacting upon their lives and relationships in the present.
I trained at WPF Therapy, saw clients in their London Bridge clinic, and have been in private practice for over 5 years.
In addition to my Íø±¬ÃÅ membership, I am a registered UKCP & BPC practitioner (SCoPEd column C).
Practice description
I work with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, feelings of being 'stuck,' trauma, abuse, bereavement/loss, and interpersonal difficulties. I have a particular interest in early relational and attachment difficulties - e.g. emotional and physical neglect, adoption, twins, boarding school experiences, and being a ""replacement child."
In terms of how I work, I offer both once- and twice-weekly, open-ended therapy. I work from my consulting room in Surrey, and I am available for both in-person and online therapy.
I believe in creating a warm and collaborative relationship with clients, providing a safe, supportive and humane environment in which growth, development and healing can take place. I also believe in the importance of addressing how painful experiences find expression in the body, as well as in the heart and mind.
My first session
I invite all prospective clients to an initial introductory session, which usually lasts for 1.5hrs. This is longer than a typical weekly appointment (50 mins), in order to give plenty of time and space for telling your story, asking any questions you might have about the therapy process, and allowing you to figure out if you feel comfortable working together. This introductory session is charged at a standard fee of £120.
