About MeI have amassed a 35-year vocation in the fields of mental health & social welfare, teaching, and psychotherapeutic work. I hold a Psychology degree from London University, Post Graduate Diplomas from the British Association of Psychotherapists and Oxford University , and an MA in Psychotherapy from Leeds Beckett University.Personally, I am a down to earth, open as well as analytically and critically minded, I regard myself as patient, and pragmatic. I am often intense, and focused when it is called for, but can find and express humour, humanity, and a sense of ‘lightness’ in the work too.Services offered & the process of therapyI am dedicated to and passionate about engaging with people who feel ready to work through (at their own pace) their particular emotional, psychological, and interpersonal difficulties. For example, some of my clients experience debilitating anxieties, distress, and a sense of 'dread' or 'emptiness'   in their personal and/or occupational life.To address these stressors and difficult feelings, by way of process, together, we would seek to explore and develop insight into how conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings that on the surface may seem ‘intangible’ often tend to be situated in earlier relationships and experiences.My primary practice method is ‘psychodynamic counselling & psychotherapy’, however, during and beyond the assessment I am fluid and adaptive towards meeting the particular needs of each individual client. This means being receptive to and carefully drawing upon an array of techniques and psychological methods that honours each clients unique self.Psychodynamic psychotherapy does not provide a ‘quick fix’. Rather, it is a deeply invested, committed and enduring process. Psychotherapy aims to increase your self-comprehension, challenge maladaptive coping mechanisms, lower psychic defences, and liberate ones self toward enabling more informed choices.
