Therapy
Psychoanalytically informed therapy can assist you in addressing both current and longstanding issues, promoting greater insight, emotional connection and a sense of agency in your life and relationships.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy — weekly, open-ended
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy — up to 3 times a week, open-ended
Psychodynamic counselling — weekly, time-limited for 3 months
Who I work with
I work with adults and young adults from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds who seek to understand their difficulties, experiences and relationships for personal growth.
I do not currently offer therapy for trainees in clinical psychology, counselling, or psychotherapy, nor do I provide therapy through insurance companies, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), local government services or therapy subscription platforms.
How I work
I see clients in person and provide online therapy across the UK and internationally. I aim to foster a collaborative therapeutic relationship that encourages reflection and supports new insights and deeper understanding.
My approach emphasises careful listening and mindful communication, helping you explore the concerns, difficulties and relational issues that brought you to therapy.
Sessions
Sessions last 50 minutes and are scheduled at the same time each week.
Fees
Fees start at £70 per session or initial appointment.
Initial Appointment
The initial appointment is an opportunity to meet, discuss your reasons for seeking help, your hopes for therapy, and consider working together.
We can discuss session frequency (weekly or more often), timeframe (open-ended or time-limited), and address any questions you may have about my approach.
We may meet more than once before deciding on next steps, allowing you to experience therapy with me and helping us both consider collaboration.
If you would like to schedule an appointment, please email me or use the contact form below—including a brief description of your reasons for seeking therapy. I normally respond within 24/48 hours on weekdays.
