About

My aim is to provide patients with a safe and confidential space to speak with me about their difficulties and develop an understanding of the problems that they are experiencing.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help patients to work through, and face, the underlying events, relationships, beliefs and fears which can cause destructive patterns, as well as feelings of being stuck, frustrated, lost and empty.

Areas of specialism include helping people suffering from anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties (including a difficulty in establishing and maintaining relationships).

Research has shown that the biggest factor for successful therapy does not lie in the type of therapy used, but in the therapeutic relationship between patient and therapist. Even though I am psychodynamically trained, I integrate other forms of therapy to best meet the individual needs of every patient and their unique circumstances. This two-way dynamic enables and promotes growth within the patient as well as the therapist, thus strengthening the relationship and possible outcomes of the therapeutic process.
