Passionate about psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy, and psychosexual therapy, I’ve built a solid foundation in these fields through BACP, BPC and COSRT accredited programs. My journey began with a Foundation Degree in 2015 and continued with a BSc in 2016 in Psychodynamic Counselling and CBT, both from Birkbeck College, University of London. In 2018, I completed my MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy, also at Birkbeck University of London. My commitment to continuous learning has led to specialised training in online and telephone counselling, earning certificates in 2020 and 2021. I’ve also pursued advanced certifications, including Psychosexual Therapy (CICS, 2021), the Study of the Couple Relationship (Tavistock Relationships, 2022), a COSRT-accredited Diploma in Clinical Sexology and Relationship Therapy (CICS, 2023), and a Attachment-Based Psychoanalytic Supervision with the Bowlby Centre.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapist | Anxiety, Depression & Repeating Relationship Patterns. You may be coping on the outside — yet privately something feels stuck, repetitive, or quietly overwhelming. Perhaps anxiety keeps returning despite insight. Perhaps relationships follow a familiar and painful pattern. Perhaps you feel low, flat, or disconnected without fully understanding why. Or perhaps you are successful professionally but inwardly unsettled. I am an established psychodynamic psychotherapist with many years’ clinical experience working with adults experiencing both acute distress and long-standing emotional difficulties. Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers the opportunity to explore not only what is happening now, but how earlier experiences, attachment patterns and unconscious dynamics may be shaping present difficulties. When these patterns are understood — and felt within a consistent therapeutic relationship — something begins to shift. Clients often experience greater emotional freedom, more stable relationships, and a clearer sense of themselves. I work with: Depression and persistent low mood Anxiety, overthinking and chronic worry Repeating relationship patterns Attachment difficulties Trauma and developmental trauma Emotional numbness or internal emptiness Difficulties with intimacy Identity concerns Burnout and high-functioning stress and professionals who feel internally stuck despite outward competence. Some clients come seeking focused, shorter-term work around a specific issue. Others choose longer-term, open-ended therapy to explore deeper relational patterns and longstanding difficulties. We will think together about what feels most appropriate for you. My style is thoughtful, steady and engaged. I aim to provide a confidential and consistent space where you can speak freely and feel taken seriously. If you are considering therapy, I welcome you to get in touch for an initial consultation.
