Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed by your emotions? Are you struggling with anxiety, low mood, or persistent negative thoughts? Are you finding it hard to cope with addiction or experiencing suicidal thoughts? Are you facing challenges in your relationships, dealing with a breakup, or grieving the loss of a loved one? Are you feeling stressed or burned out at work? Or are you struggling with self-harm, body image concerns, or disordered eating? Whatever the situation, I understand how hard it can be to open up and talk about your feelings. Together, we can explore your concerns and work through the challenges you’re facing.

Taking the first step to seek support can feel daunting, but it’s an important step towards change.

I offer psychodynamic therapy, an open-ended talk-based approach that explores how unconscious thoughts and past experiences shape your current behaviours and emotions. By reflecting on the past, we can better understand its impact on your present and discover new ways for you to move forward.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy helps you address both recent and long-standing issues, offering clarity and effective tools to manage life’s challenges. I work with individuals from all backgrounds, supporting them in navigating a wide range of concerns, big or small, with compassion and care.

I provide you with a calm, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore and work through any issues you may be facing. Together, we can uncover ways to navigate challenges and make meaningful changes in your daily life.
