Psychodynamic Therapy

Therapist Biography:

I am a Clinical Associate in Psychology (CAP) specialising in 1:1 psychological therapy with adults (age 18+). I believe that meaningful change begins with the therapeutic relationship. When we can experience a relationship in which we feel genuinely seen, heard, held and understood, we may begin to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and our situation — creating a foundation for growth and lasting change.

My professional experience comes from working as a CAP in local NHS Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs) with people experiencing a range of complex and enduring mental health difficulties. My way of working is tailored to you and what we come to understand about you and your needs together. My professional training means I am able to draw upon a variety of evidence-based psychological theories and therapy models flexibly, rather than requiring you to fit a particular therapeutic model.  

Whilst I hold attachment and psychodynamic ideas in mind to help me understand and support you, I may also draw on systemic and transactional analysis ideas, as well as approaches such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and compassion-focused therapy (CFT), where these might be useful for you.

If you think I might be a good fit for you, or you’d like space to think with me about what is going on for you, please get in touch. I offer sessions both in person and online, as well as a free initial telephone consultation.
