What I do

 

I practise as a Registered Psychodynamic Psychotherapist or Counsellor, offering once-weekly sessions. I work entirely within the Psychodynamic model, but also offer a supportive and non-punitive therapeutic space. 

 

I have taught Psychodynamic Skills and Theory at Diploma and Degree level, both in person and online, including modules on Psychodynamic Concepts, Time-Limited Therapy and Attachment Theory. I was previously a staff counsellor at a non-profit counselling centre in North London and a volunteer with Frontline19, supporting NHS staff. I now run my own private practice. 

​

I have worked within the helping professions for 17 years, including frontline roles within two major charities and have worked with a broad range of clients. As a BACP-registered therapist, I'm committed to ongoing professional development, so my knowledge and skills stay current.
