Qualifications & Memberships
I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist and Qualified Accredited Member (APAQAM) of Ayanay Psychological Accreditation (APA) (QAM-
In addition to my private practise, I work with Headstuff ADHD Therapy, an innovative multidisciplinary assessment and support service for adults, children and families affected by ADHD. I have previously provided longterm psychotherapy with Raphael Counselling and with Norwood’s psychotherapy service for parents with children following a life changing medical diagnosis.
My background in community mental health further informs my therapeutic practise, notably my work with the mental health charity Jami, mitigating barriers to recovery through peer-
Personal Statement
I support individuals to unravel the complex and contradictory meanings of their present difficulties and desires, addressing what is left unspoken, unacknowledged and unconscious, through potentially exploring how early experiences continue to impact our lives.
I offer weekly psychodynamic psychotherapy with adults, in-
Combining psychoanalytic and Jungian approaches with my experience as a therapeutic peer practitioner I offer a unique therapy process that can be profoundly transformative and healing. From which you can discover your hidden potential and the unique gifts you bring to the world. This is a rare and valuable opportunity in our increasingly metric-

How I Work
The therapy I provide develops uniquely with each person, it is a collaborative, creative and compassionate endeavour.
A consistent and reassuring time and space is created through offering sessions that start and end at the same time each week. The sessions follow a free-
The emphasis is yours — your experiences, questions, thoughts, feelings and dreams. Unlike the demands typical of social chitchat, I generally won’t share personal experiences or opinions; instead I strive to listen deeply. This can be a liberating and challenging encounter because it’s so unlike anything one normally experiences. We will create a space together in which you do not have to be nice, polite, rational, calm or pleasing to others (including to myself as your therapist). Instead finding your authentic voice, to finally speak your mind, and have your truth(s) heard.
The psychoanalytic and Jungian approaches allow you to discover new perspectives for understanding your experiences, challenges and traumas. Psychoanalysis is concerned with the individual’s unconscious, exploring early childhood while Jungian depth psychology integrates societal and transpersonal perspectives looking at how we have been impacted by the wider collective.
I have observed over many years that this type of therapy is applicable and beneficial to almost anyone. Many are surprised to discover that working at psychological depth feels quite natural and intuitive.

FEES
The initial two introductory session costs a total of £50. These two sessions provide an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy, to experience therapy with me and to frankly think together if the particular type of therapeutic and healing work I offer feels a good match for you.
I welcome you to feel empowered to say ‘no’ to taking the work any further. You will not have to explain yourself. Simply the opportunity to say no can be, by itself, tremendously therapeutic.
The cost of individual therapy is then £85 per session. Fees are payable monthly by bank transfer. I am happy to provide a receipt.
CANCELLATION POLICY
I have a 48 hour cancellation policy. Sessions not attended for any reason, without notice will be charged in full.
