Psychodynamic Psychotherapist
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist. This kind of therapy pays attention to past experiences in order to throw light on what is happening in the present. The exploration of themes from the past often reveals how long-standing patterns of behaving or relating now run the show from behind the scenes, outside of conscious awareness. Becoming aware of your unconscious patterns opens the possibility of changing them. This leads to greater freedom, and the flexibility to make more fulfilling choices in the future.
Over the last decade I have worked with people from many different backgrounds. I value diversity and always seek to embody curiosity, respect, and acceptance when engaging with intersecting identities such as class, race, religion, sexuality, age, and disability. In particular, my practice is neurodiversity-affirming, and I have a special interest in late-diagnosed ADHD and Autism.
I am registered with BPC, UKCP, and FPC. I offer open-ended and time-limited therapy in Victoria, Wandsworth, and online. I am happy to have a free 15-minute chat to help you decide if you would like to have an exploratory session.
