Are you feeling the impact of life's difficult issues right now? Struggles with finances, work, relationships etc can intensify previous issues, or cause new issues that have a real effect on us every day; anxiety, depression, low motivation, low self esteem, insecurity, loneliness, grief, confusion, abuse, burn-out, overwhelm, it is not easy and yet completely normal to be feeling that way given life's challenges. Its often a relief just to talk and offload about what is happening. I offer a safe non-judgemental space that is uniquely yours to do just that and to help you figure out what's best for you moving forwards.

I integrate psychodynamic, Jungian and psychoanalytic practice, focusing on relatedness, the unconscious, and the transpersonal/spiritual.
You may feel you are not getting the most out of your life for reasons known or unknown. I work with the unconscious through dreams and imagery to help you connect more fully with yourself, giving you access to your own deeper needs and desires clearing the way for you to change as you chose. You may need the convenience of working online or via the telephone (F2F not available). Often my way of working appeals to those who are interested in the arts and/or the spiritual realm and those who appreciate deeper ways of working, in safe and supportive relationship.

I work in an Integrative way, which includes CBT, Psychodynamic and Person Centred Counselling - all seamlessly working together to explore what's happened in your life, your relationships, where you are now and how and where you want to be in the future.
We all have times in our lives where talking to someone can help us find the solutions to our problems. At times though, it can feel like there is nobody to turn to that can listen, without judgement and where it feels safe to openly express how you are feeling inside. You might be feeling sad, anxious, worried or scared and get to a point where it can all be starting to feel overwhelming. Talking to a counsellor in a safe space, where there is no judgement or criticism about the choices you have made or the experiences you have lived through can help to make sense of it all.

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
