About me

In psychodynamic psychotherapy, there is a focus on your emotional world and how feelings are expressed or avoided; in time, we'd identify recurring themes and patterns in your life; we would think about past experience and how it relates to the present; we'd get to know your relationships, including the therapy relationship itself; and, because emotional conflict is often unconscious, we would explore the non-verbal parts of your experience – daydreams, dreams, gestures, movements, sensations and intuitions – the things in our experience that sit closer to unconscious life. If you would like to get in touch, we would meet for an initial consultation to discuss what has prompted you to find a therapist and how psychodynamic therapy might be able to help. If we both have the impression that we can work together then we would find a regular time when we could meet - a 50 minute session, once a week. Saying whatever comes to mind - if you feel free to say it - is a powerful and meaningful way to relieve distress, find meaning and find preferred ways of living. Therapy works within robust boundaries, and is a commitment that benefits from the stability and momentum that weekly sessions provide, acting as a vital boundary for your emotional and psychological world. The work tends tends to be longer-term and open-ended, but within a shared understanding of its purpose - of what we are meeting to do and why.
