People come to see me when they feel stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns in their personal or professional life. These kind of patterns include finding it difficult to trust and set boundaries, fear of abandonment or separation, people-pleasing and fear of conflict. Over ten years of psychotherapy experience has shown me that whatever challenges you face, as a client, you have all the answers within you. My job is to help you tune back into your wisdom and replace the internal critic with self- compassion. That means I work collaboratively with you as a client, blending different modalities that I feel are most fitting for you. I integrate psychodynamic, somatic and relational concepts to help you understand the story of your pain and develop new ways of coping and connecting. Sometimes we will work in a brain-to-brain way; thinking through problems together; sometimes we will work from the body and sense how your story is felt within you. Ultimately, I go at a pace that suits you and help you heal deep-seated patterns that impact your relationships and your confidence. As a result of our work together my hope is that that you will have healthier relationships with yourself and those you care most about. My experience spans the NHS, The School of Life, charity settings and the Harley Street area of Central London. Most recently I have joined the Village Clinic as a senior psychotherapist mentoring trainee therapists. My special interest is paternal trauma and how our early relationship with our father, father figure or an absent father shapes us psychologically and somatically.
