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 psychotherapist, I’m especially interested in how our early experiences — particularly our relationships with caregivers — shape us. The ways we adapt as children to feel safe and connected often stay with us, sometimes outside of our awareness, and can limit our ability to connect, trust, or feel secure.

Together, we can gently explore how these early relationships continue to influence how you see yourself, relate to others, and experience the world today.

A Psychoanalytic View

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help deepen our understanding of the often unconscious difficulties that influence how we feel and act, and increase our awareness of our ‘inner world’. Being human can, at times, be painful and feel complex, and it’s natural to have parts of ourselves that can feel harder to connect with, make sense of, or understand. I’m here to support you in cultivating curiosity and compassionate reflection about the layered parts of yourself and your experience.

Together, we can slowly and sensitively work through difficult experiences, explore hidden feelings, patterns of relating (sometimes passed down through generations), and ways of coping that may be getting in the way of your healing. This process invites you to reconnect with parts of yourself that feel distant, open up to thoughts, feelings, tensions, and desires you may have pushed aside, and make sense of the ways these patterns have shaped your past and continue to influence your present.

Trauma-Informed Care

My trauma-informed approach recognises that our bodies and nervous systems often carry the imprint of what we’ve been through — whether that’s from single overwhelming events, ongoing painful experiences, or the complex relational wounds of developmental and attachment trauma.

Through gentle, somatic exploration, we can begin to notice how these parts express themselves in the body — through breath, posture, tension, or sensation — and meet them with care, curiosity, and compassion. My intention is to support you in restoring a sense of inner safety, reconnecting with the physiological responses of your body and what they may be communicating, and building secure, compassionate connections within yourself and with others.

What This Process May Offer

In our sessions, you may gradually develop a deeper sense of self-understanding and acceptance. You might find yourself becoming more curious about your feelings, and more able to welcome a breadth of emotions. You may begin to feel more attuned to the messages your body sends, and, in time, you might start to make clearer links between the past and the present.

You may also begin to feel more at ease setting boundaries that support your well-being. This unfolding process can create space to meet your present experience with greater openness, compassion, and ease.

As time goes on, these changes can foster a sense of vitality. They may deepen your connection to yourself, to others, and to the world around you, and help you feel better equipped to move toward a life that feels enriching and fulfilling.

Additional Experience
