I’m a professionally trained psychodynamic psychotherapist, qualifying through WPF Therapy (now closed) and following earlier studies at Regent’s University. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic thinking, which explores how unconscious processes — often shaped by early experiences — can influence our current emotions, behaviours and relationships. This thinking finds its roots in Sigmund Freud's initial explorations of the unconscious in the early years of the twentieth century, and has been enriched and enlarged through a growing understanding of infantile development and attachment theory.

My work is also deeply informed by the ideas of Carl Jung, whose respect for the uniqueness of each individual continues to inspire me. Jung's development of psychoanalysis, called Analytical Psychology, brings attention to the deep, symbolic and imaginative dimensions of the psyche, and values the inner wisdom that often lies hidden beneath everyday awareness. This has enriched my understanding of the human experience beyond diagnosis or labels.

Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of people from different backgrounds, cultures, identities and belief systems. I aim to bring an open, respectful and non-judgmental attitude to every therapeutic relationship.

People often come to therapy during times of difficulty or transition, when life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or out of balance. Psychotherapy offers a consistent, supportive space to make sense of your experience, and to begin navigating change with greater clarity and resilience. But you may simply feel the need to speak with someone in a deeper, more reflective way. Therapy is not only for times of crisis — it can also be a space for exploration, creativity, and self-discovery.

Psychotherapy offers a reliable and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly about whatever is on your mind. Together, we may explore your present difficulties, past experiences, relationships, dreams, or the dynamics that emerge between us in the therapeutic relationship itself.

Before beginning longer-term work, we will meet for one or two initial consultations. These sessions offer us a chance to explore your reasons for seeking therapy, consider whether this approach feels right for you, and decide together whether we would like to continue. We will agree a regular time and day to meet if we decide to proceed.

Supervision plays a vital role in sustaining and deepening the work of therapists and those in helping professions. At different stages of a professional journey - whether in training, newly qualified, or experienced - supervision serves as a reflective space to support effective ethical practice, emotional resilience, and personal growth

I offer supervision to:

- Trainee and accredited counsellors and psychotherapists

- Professionals working in listening, pastoral, or caregiving roles

- Clergy, chaplains, and spiritual companions

- Those providing emotional, social or spiritual support in community or organisational settings

My perspective is rooted in psychodynamic and Jungian thinking, but welcome practitioners from diverse theoretical backgrounds. Whether you are looking for regular clinical supervision, a reflective space around a specific issue, or support in integrating your work with your values and personal development, I aim to offer a thoughtful, respectful, and stimulating environment.

I view supervision as a collaborative and creative process, grounded in mutual curiosity about relational dynamics and the interplay between the conscious and unconscious. It’s a space to think freely, explore challenges, and attend closely to what emerges - spoken and unspoken - in the therapeutic encounter.

Supervision can be an ongoing, regular commitment at an agreed frequency or might be an occasional or one-off meeting to deal with specific issues that have arisen.

An initial session gives us an opportunity to find out about one another and decide whether we would like to work together. You may well have some questions about me and the way I work and I will do my best to answer these. However, it is most useful to bring a current piece of work for us to think about together.
