I am a talking therapist working within the psychoanalytic tradition. This approach involves exploring how the unconscious mind shapes thoughts and behaviours, and how past experiences may be repeated or re-enacted in the present. By reflecting on early childhood experiences, we can begin to understand how they may have shaped your personality and how they continue to play a role in your current difficulties.

You may come to therapy with a particular concern, such as panic attacks, unexplained physical symptoms, phobias, or difficulties with eating, sleeping, or sexuality. At other times, it may be more general feelings—low mood, anxiety, lack of concentration, dissatisfaction at work, or difficulties forming or sustaining fulfilling relationships—that bring you to seek support.

In psychoanalytic therapy, people usually meet with their therapist at least once a week, sometimes continuing for months or years. Meeting regularly over time allows us to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and to create a space in which new emotional understanding and personal growth can gradually take shape.
