I'm a psychodynamic psychotherapist offering a warm and supportive space to explore the experiences that have shaped you. Many of the people I work with are carrying the weight of past wounds, whether from relationships, family dynamics, or difficult life experiences, that continue to affect how they feel about themselves and the world around them.

Therapy is a space to make sense of these feelings, uncover patterns that may be holding you back, and find ways to move forward with greater clarity and self-understanding. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, meaning we explore not just the challenges you face now, but also the deeper emotions and past experiences that may be influencing them. However, I adapt my approach to suit you, ensuring that our work together is meaningful, supportive, and at a pace that feels right.

I believe that therapy should be accessible to all, regardless of financial situation, while also ensuring that my practice remains sustainable. I offer a sliding scale fee system to meet the varying needs of my clients.

• Standard Fee: £75 per 50-minute session

This is the full rate for my services.

• Concessionary Rate: £50-£60 per 50-minute session

A limited number of lower-cost spaces are available for clients experiencing financial constraints. If affordability is a concern, please get in touch to discuss it with me.

If you’re unsure where you fit on the sliding scale, we can explore this together during our initial consultation. My aim is to create a supportive and open space that meets your needs.

I offer a free 20-minute phone or video consultation to help us determine whether I am the right therapist for you. This is a no-pressure opportunity to ask questions and share what’s bringing you to therapy.

In our first few sessions, we’ll focus on getting to know each other, exploring what’s currently happening in your life, and identifying areas you may want to work on. We’ll also discuss your expectations for therapy, whether this is your first time or you’ve had previous experience.

All sessions are confidential, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can feel at ease. Together, we’ll build a trusting relationship that allows us to explore what’s troubling you and develop strategies to help you navigate your challenges.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, but it’s a courageous first step toward understanding yourself and finding a way forward. I’m here to support you every step of the way
