Practice description
With 20 years of experience working in NHS mental health services, including extensive work within forensic and HM Prison settings, I am currently a Psychotherapist and Specialist Practitioner in a dedicated NHS service for Personality Disorders and Complex Trauma.
Our life experiences shape our emotional lives, influencing our thoughts and reactions as adults. Because each individual's experiences are unique, so too are their outcomes. We often find ourselves repeating unproductive behaviours or struggling to control aspects of ourselves, without understanding the root cause.
Psychotherapy offers a path to understanding and resolving these issues. It fosters awareness of our inner world and its impact on both past and present relationships, distinguishing itself from other therapies by aiming for deeper, more fundamental change in personality and emotional development.
By exploring how past experiences influence current relationships, psychotherapy can build self-confidence, improve relationships, and enhance overall well-being. I deeply value each client and the therapeutic relationship we develop. Recognising the unique circumstances that have shaped each individual's life, I utilise attachment theory to cultivate safe and supportive relationships that facilitate personal growth and development.
I am currently offering in person and remote psychotherapy sessions a couple of minutes walk from Liverpool Street Station in Central London. Sessions will last for 50 minutes, and are open ended.
My first session
I currently offer in-person, open-ended therapy sessions in East Central London, just minutes from Liverpool Street Station, for £60 per session. I also provide remote sessions nationwide via Microsoft Teams
The initial session provides an opportunity for us to explore how we might work together, discuss your expectations and desired outcomes for therapy, and for you to ask any questions you may have. My priority is to create a space where you feel seen and heard.
