I'm a BACP-registered psychodynamic psychotherapist, working under regular clinical supervision and committed to ongoing professional development. My own experience of personal therapy informs how I work — I understand, from both sides, what it takes to sit with difficulty and stay curious about it.

Psychodynamic therapy is built on the idea that many of our present-day difficulties — in relationships, in how we feel about ourselves, in patterns that seem to repeat no matter what we do — have roots in earlier experiences, often ones we're not fully conscious of. Rather than offering quick fixes or techniques to manage symptoms, this way of working aims at something deeper: genuine understanding of why things feel the way they do.

What this looks like in practice:

• We explore how past experiences shape present-day patterns — in relationships, self-esteem, or how you respond to difficulty

• There's no fixed agenda; you bring what's on your mind and we follow where it leads

• Over time, the relationship between us often becomes part of the work — noticing how you relate to me can mirror how you relate to others

This isn't always comfortable work. Looking honestly at long-held patterns can stir things up before they settle. But most people find that with consistency and a steady, thoughtful space to return to each week, real change becomes possible — not just symptom relief, but a more grounded understanding of yourself.
