I am an experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and qualified CBT practitioner.I  trained for 6 years at the Westminster Pastoral Foundation, London.I have been in clinical practice since 2001 and I have a particular interest and experience in spectrum disorders and specific learning difficulties. I can operate a sliding scale on what can be afforded, so that you can access the help that you need.I  work in 1to1 long term or time limited/focused  models of working.What is TherapyTherapy helps people to have a private and confidential place to talk about and explore thoughts and feelings. Everyone encounters problems from time to timeDifficulties in the present are most likely to have originated in past experiences. Understanding these is a necessary step towards achieving changes in perception, awareness and relationships.Therapy also helps you become aware of habits in relationships so that you can understand and change them if you want to.Sometimes patterns of relating are recreated with the therapist and we call this transference. In therapy this helps the therapist to understand you and to share this understanding. The depth of awareness gained gives you the freedom and confidence to change.Having a greater understanding of yourself enables you to make more of your life and relationships enabling a fuller and more satisfying emotional life.
