I am a psychodynamic counsellor with prior experience both in community education and in the NHS, as a scientist. For the last two years I have counselled in two services in the third sector, working with people who have experienced anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss and physical ill health. Originally I was an NHS Clinical Scientist (physicist) for 18yrs, in three UK cancer centres. Then, as a Community Education worker for 17yrs, I worked alongside people experiencing homelessness, trauma, abuse, addiction, poverty, discrimination and exclusion. I continue to be a (relief) support worker in homelessness.

The psychodynamic approach is based on the premise that we often unconsciously repeat patterns laid down in childhood, whether healthy or unhealthy. The unhealthy patterns can be difficult to understand on our own, but in the counselling relationship, we can explore the meaning of our experiences, learn how to be more true to ourselves.

I believe that it is primarily through a trusting and empathic relationship that we can learn from one another and thereby discover new ways of being. Consequently, I offer a free intoductory session in which we can determine if we are a good fit for each other. If my practice spaces are inaccessible to you, please get in touch to discuss further.

The reasons for coming to counselling often unfold as therapy progresses and what might be the presenting issue, often changes. Finding a 'good fit' with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, may be more important than speciality. This is why I offer an initial consultation, without charge, to help us both decide if we could work well together.

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic counselling is based on the premise that we tend to repeat patterns in life, often unconsciously. Working within a trusting relationship we can learn to identify and then explore these patterns, how they were first formed and how they might be changed.
