Why psychodynamic psychotherapy?
I believe, at heart, we all want lo love and to be loved, yet many feel lost , isolated and anxious .We want to be understood by others, but also protect ourselves from hurt. We may struggle from a deep sense of shame and worthlessness.
Sometimes we may find ourselves trying to manage the complex feelings brought up by significant shifts in our life such as loss, separation, parenthood or a medical diagnosis. It can be whelming to discover we are not going to be able to live the life we expected.
Contemporary society provides us with many 'quick fixes'; which initially alleviate or numb us from pain .We gain a surface-level sense of control through relentlessly pursuing self improvement ,chasing workplace success or by drawing self esteem from our relationship status, or the admiration of others. Yet these things still leave us empty and isolated from our sense of self.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy ,by contrast, explores our thoughts, feelings and responses in depth. It helps people to gain a better understanding of both themselves and others. As a therapist, I have seen how this can be transformational.
If you choose to work with me, I will provide a safe and supportive space for us to explore your feelings and thoughts together.

Online or in-person therapy : personalised support to fit in with busy lifestyles
I offer a free initial 15-minute phone meeting to discuss your needs and how I might be able to support you. If you decide to work with me, we would then book an initial 60-minute consultation session so that I can gain a broader picture of your past experiences, current feelings, and what you would like to work on. After this we would meet, either online or in-person for weekly sessions lasting 50 minutes.
Psychodynamic therapy usually involves working together long term, building a strong therapeutic relationship so that we can carefully explore how your experiences impact upon your unconscious thought processes. I therefore generally offer long term therapy for one year or more, though I am also able to offer brief, time-limited therapy to address a current situation.
Initial consultation: £80
Sessions: £75
I occasionally have concessionary sessions available for those on low incomes. Please contact via email to enquire further.
