Psychotherapist (Registered)

“I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic therapist. Psychodynamic therapy provides a space for us to explore the parts of yourself that might behind the obstacles you might be facing. I offer in-person and remote therapy. My practice is in Reigate, Surrey. ”

About Me

As a psychodynamic therapist, I offer a calm, confidential space to help you understand yourself more deeply. We can gently explore the parts of you that might be influencing the obstacles you face. This process helps clients uncover patterns and build lasting insight. For those seeking clarity and new ways forward, I provide thoughtful support. Sessions are available both in-person and remotely, ensuring accessibility for your needs.

Approach

Sessions move at a comfortable, reflective pace, inviting gentle curiosity about feelings, relationships and repeating patterns that show up in your life. In my Caterham consulting room or online in English or French, we notice small moments in the session—slips, silences, recurring images—and explore their meaning together, sometimes suggesting short reflections between meetings to carry the work into daily life. This approach tends to suit adults wanting steady, thoughtful exploration and clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.
