Clinical Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

“I am an experienced (20yrs+) clinical psychologist and Jungian Analyst. I believe therapy is a sacred, healing and transformative space that can help individuals to work with any psychological trauma/stress, that creates depression or anxiety, and limits their growth potential. I am passionate about the therapy process and helping individuals develop their self awareness, and managing the challenges and curve balls life throws at them. Therapy is ultimately a gift to oneself and to the people who matter most in your life. The unexamined life really cannot compare to an exploration of one's psyche which offers so much more emotional depth and psychological richness. Give yourself the gift of emotional freedom, a grounded sense of peace, and new horizons.”

About Me

I am an experienced, female, clinical psychologist and Jungian analyst, I offer a sacred, healing, and transformative space, (available online too) for you to truly explore your inner world in safety. In the therapy process we gently reveal how past relational trauma and current stress contributes to depression, anxiety and other psychological problems. My aim is to guide you towards a deeper understanding of some of the unconscious pressures and conflicts which influence how you manage your vulnerabilities and difficult emotions thereby helping you find a sense of emotional freedom in your work and play. I work as both an individual and couple therapist. I help couples in therapy come to understand their attachment styles and how to improve the overall health of their relationship and communication. I am interested in helping individuals to find release from past trauma and grief, to improve their feelings of self worth, and understand how emotional trauma might keep us stuck and become an obstacle in our day to day functioning. As a Jungian analyst I am also interested in your dream life as a guide to understanding your unconscious psychological complexes, your Shadow, and how these might hold you 'hostage' in your life and relationships. Carl Jung famously said "until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

Approach

We will agree on a time and day for an initial 1 hour session to discuss your concerns and what issues you need help with. Sessions are usually weekly in person or online but there is also a tailoring to your individual needs. The therapy 'work' begins immediately and involves a deliberate thoughtful, unhurried pace where we will listen closely, and reflect on your life experiences and relationships, focusing on places of stuck-ness, recurring negative relationship patterns, and then explore with curiosity your feelings(such as depression, anxiety, overwhelm, panic, flatness, grief), your symptoms (this can vary from insomnia to panic attacks or tearfulness), relationships of significance and fantasies/images. Sometimes if your concerns have resulted in unmanageable symptoms we will discuss the option of other interventions like psychiatric medications but this will only be considered with your expressed permission. I offer therapy sessions in English only. Everything that we will discuss is held in a contained, confidential space (a temenos) that respects your pace and feelings of safety. We will also explore what your psyche offers in the form of dreams, relational patterns and moment-to-moment experience within our sessions to deepen insight. My therapeutic approach can be broadly understood as psychoanalytical.
