About my therapy practice

I’m an attachment-based, psychoanalytic psychotherapist trained at The Bowlby Centre, London.

Making the decision to enter therapy can feel daunting; I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can come as you are and share what you’re going through in a way that feels comfortable.

Attachment-Based Therapy

As an attachment-based therapist, I’m interested in the impact of early life, relationships with caregivers, and the unconscious strategies we develop in childhood to adapt to our environment. Central to my work is exploring how these early attachments shape our sense of

self, adult relationships, and experience of the world.

A Psychoanalytic View

Psychoanalytic therapy helps deepen our understanding of complex, unconscious difficulties and increases awareness of our ‘inner world’. Being human can be painful and complex. I support you in cultivating curiosity and compassionate reflection about the layered parts of yourself and your experience.

This allows us to slowly and sensitively explore unconscious feelings and the ways they manifest, often, intergenerational patterns of relating, as well as ways of coping that may be getting in the way of your healing. Together, we work through difficult experiences, reconnect parts of yourself that may feel distant, and open up to unconscious thoughts, feelings, desires, and conflicts you may not have been in touch with for some time —gaining insight into how these patterns have shaped your past and influence your present.

Trauma-Informed Care

My trauma-informed approach recognises how our bodies carry and express the imprint of the past, including the effects of single traumatic events and painful, repeated, experience on the mind, body, and nervous system. I work with care and sensitivity to help process trauma.

What You Can Expect

As we explore, you may gradually develop a deeper sense of self-understanding and acceptance. You might find yourself growing more curious about your feelings, more sensitive to the messages your body sends, and more experienced in navigating a broader range of emotions. You may also begin to feel more at ease setting boundaries that support your well-being. This unfolding process can create room to meet your present experience with greater openness, compassion, and ease.

Over time, these changes can foster a feeling of vitality and aliveness, deepen your connection to yourself, others, and the world around you, and support you in feeling better equipped to move toward a life that feels enriching and fulfilling.

Additional Experience

In addition to my private practice, I also have experience working in the NHS as part of The Forensic and Learning Disability Service.

I am committed to my practice and undertake annual continual professional development as required by The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
