Therapy
Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy offer a regular time and place to talk and think together about what is on your mind. The overall aim is to help you gain insight into your difficulties and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
Working together, we can explore and reflect on your concerns, challenges, thoughts, feelings, and relationships, both past and present. During the process, we may uncover and come to understand underlying issues, such as self-beliefs, fears, and relationship patterns rooted in your history, that may no longer serve you well.
Therapy can help you become more mindful in your daily life, strengthening your relationships with yourself and others. It may also renew your sense of agency and perhaps empower you to make different choices, leading to a more meaningful life.
How I work
I aim to foster a collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship with my clients that facilitates thoughtful exploration of sensitive personal issues over time.
I aim to listen attentively and communicate mindfully to enable reflection on the challenges, experiences and other thoughts and feelings that led the individual to my practice.
Sessions
Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place at the same time each week. Sessions can be weekly or more frequently, up to three times a week.
If you wish to increase the frequency during your therapy, we can discuss this option, though suitable availability cannot be guaranteed.
Fees
Fees start at £70 per session or initial consultation.
How to Get Started
Please email me or use the contact form below to send an enquiry. I aim to respond within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
Initial Appointment
The initial appointment allows us to discuss the concerns that led you to contact me and to consider working together. The fee is £70.
Depending on your needs, we may meet two or more times before deciding how to proceed. These meetings help you experience my approach and get a sense of what working together would be like.
If you would like to speak before scheduling an appointment, I am happy to offer a 15 to 20-minute telephone conversation.
...........
Please note that I do not provide therapy to current or prospective trainees in clinical psychology, counselling, or psychotherapy. The BPC online register is a good place to search for a training therapist.
I do not provide therapy or consultancy through insurance companies, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), or therapy subscription platforms.
Regrettably, I am unable to take on new clients based in the USA at this time.
