Therapy
In my practice, I offer a dedicated space to explore and enhance your self-awareness. I encourage curiosity and self-reflection to help you deepen your understanding of your emotional challenges, relational patterns, and past and current life experiences.
I specialise in individual psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I also offer time-limited counselling.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy (weekly, open-ended)
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy (up to 3 times a week, open-ended)
Psychodynamic counselling (weekly, time-limited for 3 to 6 months)
Psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy and counselling can help you address and process current and longer-standing issues, offering fresh perspectives and deeper insights. This approach can help nurture emotional connection and a renewed sense of empowerment, helping you become more mindful in your life and relationships.
Who I work with
I work with adults and young adults from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds. My clients are often thoughtful, creative, sensitive, and high-achieving individuals seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences.
Please note that I do not offer training therapy for clinical psychology, counselling, or psychotherapy trainees, nor do I provide therapy services through insurance companies, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), or therapy subscription platforms.
How I work
I primarily see clients in person at my practice in SE12. I also provide therapy services online to clients nationwide and internationally.
My approach centres on careful listening and mindful communication, helping you to explore the thoughts, feelings, and experiences that led you to seek therapy. I strive to foster a respectful and collaborative relationship that promotes reflection and allows new insights and deeper understanding to emerge.
Sessions
Each session lasts 50 minutes and occurs at the same time each week.
Fees
My fees begin at £70 per session / initial appointment.
Initial Appointment
The first appointment allows us to meet, discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your aspirations, and consider the possibility of working together.
We can discuss session frequency (weekly or more often) and the timeframe (open-ended or time-limited), as well as any questions you have about my process.
We may decide to meet more than once before determining the next steps, enabling you to experience my approach and helping us both envision what collaboration might look like.
If you are interested in scheduling an initial appointment, please feel free to email me or use the contact form below. I typically reply within 24 hours during weekdays.
