Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“An attachment-based psychoanalytical psychotherapist with over 16 years experience working with adults and couples.”

About Me

As an attachment-based psychoanalytical psychotherapist, I help adults and couples explore how past experiences shape present relationships. With over 16 years' experience, I offer a thoughtful space to understand deep-rooted patterns and foster lasting change. This approach is ideal for those seeking to make sense of emotional dynamics, allowing them to build more secure and fulfilling connections with themselves and others.

Approach

Sessions move between careful listening and gently naming feelings, tracking how earlier attachments steer everyday choices. I work with adults and couples in London and online in English, offering a steady, predictable container—usually weekly—to explore repeating moments as they arise. We bring attention to patterns around loss, addiction, anxiety or anger, using reflective dialogue, noticing enactments in the room and setting small experiments between meetings. People who want clearer self-understanding and more reliable ways of relating often find this careful, patient pace most helpful.
