Availability
I offer online sessions on weekdays between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
At present, all sessions are conducted online via Zoom or phone. Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place at the same time on the same day each week.
If you're not comfortable with video meetings, connecting by phone can be equally effective. Many people find it helpful to lie down with earphones in and eyes closed, echoing the traditional psychoanalytic setting of 'lying on the couch'.
About me and my therapy practice
You may have found your way here because anxiety or depression is affecting your daily life. Perhaps you feel stuck in patterns of behaviour that lead to distress or pain in your relationships. Maybe there's been a quiet sense, for some time now, that something isn’t quite right, a voice inside holding you back from living the life you want. You might be wondering if therapy could help.
Psychodynamic therapy offers a space to explore these feelings at depth. Our present-day emotions and experiences - how we relate to ourselves and others - are often shaped by our past, particularly our earliest relationships. The ways we react to loved ones today can be strongly influenced by how we were treated or responded to as children.
In our work together, we’ll explore how unconscious feelings, unresolved losses, rejections, and early experiences continue to impact your life. By bringing these into awareness, you may begin to understand yourself more fully - your inner conflicts, shame, fears, and desires.
Through this process, you may find a greater sense of clarity, self-acceptance, and emotional resilience. Over time, therapy can help you feel more in control of your life, strengthen your relationships, and support a deeper sense of who you are.
Practice description
Whatever you may be experiencing, my aim is to help you better understand the situation you find yourself in, and provide a safe, non-judgemental, confidential space for you to find out who you really are, allowing a stronger, more authentic self to emerge.
We will commit to meeting weekly for 50 minutes, at the same time each week on Zoom or by phone call.

About me and my therapy practice
I offer a supportive and thought-provoking space to explore clinical material, unconscious dynamics, and countertransference feelings, to deepen your practice.
I completed my supervision training at the Rock Clinic in Brighton, a course certified by BAPPS. My original training is from Birkbeck College, in London, where I gained a Masters (Distinction) in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy.
The classic psychoanalytic theoretical frame offers a starting point to supervision, but my approach considers necessary adaptations to original ideas, as we navigate the diversity of the psychosocial sphere we live in today. Therefore, I am flexible in my supervisory approach, believing the foundation of a positive alliance is the ability to hold a fair frame, along with consideration-of and working-in the transference when appropriate.
