About me
People often ask me how I came to do what I do. It is not an easy answer, but like any story there is always a beginning. I have been living through losses, transitions and questions of identity since before I can remember. I see the work that I do not as a career but as a calling. The questions of psychological growth, healing and how to live a good life are the questions that preoccupy me daily in my own quest to discover myself and understand the life that I am living as well as with each individual and couple I am privileged to work with.
After I finished my clinical training and Masters in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the world renowned Tavistock and Portman Trust in North London, I moved to the city of Berlin, Germany where I currently practice in English with couples and individuals. I founded The Primrose Practice in 2011 to be able to work with people, who for all sorts of unique and varying reasons, come to see me when the suffering becomes too much.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
EFT: Emotionally focused therapyRecommended for couples or individuals who want to strengthen emotional connections in relationships by exploring feelings and attachment.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
The first step is an initial call where we can both get a sense of whether we would be a good fit going forward. Together we can decide whether you are interested in my coaching or psychotherapy services. My approach is based on Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Attachment Theory, Neurobiology and Executive Function Coaching.
After we have decided to continue, we would set up a weekly meeting virtually or in my office. A regular meeting allows us to open the door on the repetitive groans and varying frequencies of the whale song within.
Sometimes people are in need of practical support and a focused more interventional approach like coaching to help them have better day to day functioning in their lives. This can sometimes be before they begin therapy, in place of therapy or alongside therapy. With my experience in executive functioning coaching I help clients to live life on their terms.
Beneath the immediacy of the issues and symptoms that people are struggling with, each one of us carries with us an explanation of ourselves. Sometimes it is buried or hidden or out of reach for good reason but slowly we will work together to unravel these histories and experiences and find out their meanings and expressions. Through this process there will be an opportunity for the forgotten to emerge, grief to transform and the healing of human connection to be felt.
I realise that behind each one of my client's sufferings, the unique difficulties are as varied and complex as the mind itself. What I offer is not a one size fits all fix, but a treatment tailored to each individual, based in my extensive personal and professional training and clinical experience.
