There are many reasons why you might find yourself seeking therapy, general or specific, such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, or difficulty in forming or maintaining relationships. People often seek therapy because they feel stuck, perhaps without knowing why. Psychodynamic therapy provides an empathic space to be heard, to share, and to explore what it is that is distressing you.

My practice welcomes a range of issues, from low-level anxiety, stress, feelings of stuck-ness and drift, to more complex conditions such as sexual abuse or suicidal ideation. Every person's issues are unique and are listened to openly and without judgement.

I encourage you to bring whatever is on your mind – it is a free-associative space to speak freely, without judgement, however discomforting the thought or feeling. We can then think together, and try to understand your experience.

I usually work on an open-ended long term basis, with sessions once weekly. People tend to come for months, rather than weeks, but we can also discuss shorter term work if that better suits your needs.

Psychodynamic therapy, rooted in psychoanalytic thinking, is an exploratory, approach that focuses on the mind’s unconscious thoughts, fears, and desires. Rather than offering quick solutions, it aims to bring deeper understanding to your inner world and emotional life.

At its core, psychodynamic therapy is about relationships, how you relate to yourself, to others, and to me, your therapist. Together, we may explore early experiences and patterns that continue to shape your present-day struggles. This process can lead to greater emotional insight, a stronger sense of self, and more freedom in how you live your life.

The therapeutic relationship is central to the work. Within a safe and supportive space, we may notice and reflect on how your ways of relating emerge in our sessions. This can open up new ways of being and connecting, both in and outside therapy.
