Psychotherapy
I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for individuals to explore the questions and issues which may be causing difficulties in their lives. People seek psychotherapy for many reasons, and the emphasis in our work will be exploring what is important to you, at a pace which suits you.
About Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
The psychodynamic school is among the most longstanding of therapy approaches and it considers both a client’s past and present to discover what may be preventing them from living fully. This approach views the human mind as dynamic, with thoughts, feelings and memories interacting in many ways, and it aims to bring these into awareness such that the person approach for support may begin to live more fully. I also draw on ideas from existentialism, Daoism and other philosophies offering valuable guides on the task of living well.
Contemporary Help For Mental Health
I am also mindful of the social and cultural forces surrounding us and the ways in which sexuality, gender, ethnicity, faith, age and class form us. I aim above all to build therapeutic relationships in which individuals feel able to speak about anything they wish to – perhaps the only space in their lives where they can do so. I have experience of working both with adolescents and adults, and with gender- and sexuality-questioning individuals.

Working Together & Fees
My fee is £90 per session. I offer a free initial phone consultation where we can exlore what has motivated you to seek help, with a further one-hour consultation charged at £60 to discover more about your approach for support. If we agree to work together our 50-minute session will be held at the same time each week. I work in-person at No.42 in London SE1, and online via Zoom. I request that fees are paid in advance of each session. After we agree to work together I will send you a copy of my client-therapist agreement which sets out information on confidentiality, holidays and cancellations.
Session Schedule
Sessions are held in-person 12pm-5pm Tuesdays at No.42, London SE1 (London Bridge tube). I may have further limited availability on Mondays and Thursdays: please contact me to enquire. Please not: I cannot offer fortnightly or monthly engagements.
