To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight.

MY APPROACH
My practice is grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic models of psychotherapy. I strictly abide by the ethical guidelines set by BACP and COSCA, typically offering long-term psychotherapy. My practice is non-directive, relational and insight-oriented as opposed to authoritative, solution-focused and goal-oriented.
Why psychoanalytic therapy?
Psychoanalytic therapy is designed for those seeking a deeper understanding of the patterns that shape their lives, the roots of recurring emotions, and the path toward lasting internal change. If you feel “stuck” in familiar cycles of self-doubt, relational patterns, or unresolved grief, analytic therapy can make those patterns intelligible. When we understand the story beneath the symptom, we gain the freedom to write a new one.
My work is deeply relational. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a container to examine how you manage closeness, vulnerability, authority, and care. Through this process, we cultivate greater empathy, self-awareness, and emotional resilience.
In a culture that often seeks quick fixes, psychoanalytic therapy affirms that healing is relational, developmental, and profoundly human. It is an investment in insight that honors complexity, strengthens identity, and fosters change that endures. Ultimately, psychoanalytic therapy is designed to answer the question that plagues so many of us: Why do I keep repeating this?
I aim to work in a facilitative manner, free of judgement, criticism, or advice. This is done with the intention of helping you trust yourself, and make choices which empower and enable you to live more authentically. Our work will take a holistic view of healing and strengthening, rather than a binary and myopic perspective, leaving no experience unlived, and no capability untested. My work spans different domains and addresses a wide range of needs, from personal growth for clients to professional development for psychotherapy trainees and colleagues.
