You may have landed here because you are looking for a therapist that might help you make sense of your inner world that could be anxious, chaotic, stressed or in constant overdrive. Perhaps you are going through a particularly challenging time and instead of long term therapy you may just need some emotional scaffolding and a robust space where you can say exactly what is on your mind without judgement. The sorts of things society suggests is off limits at most dinner tables but really needs an outlet! As our world moved in and out of lockdown it helped establish into our consciousness that it is vitally important we don’t also be subjected to personal mental lockdowns that can be so debilitating.
About
My background was initially in academic psychology, sport and exercise psychology and eventually moving on to the robust training as a psychodynamic psychotherapist. I have 20 years experience working within banking and corporate CEO’s offices, board room review for industry and non profit organisations, home offices, athletics and many clients from creative industries. Although multi-theoretical, my leanings are intuitively Jungian.
I believe everyone can benefit from psychotherapy in many forms, long term, short term, crisis management and proactive coaching. It is fundamentally about how good the working relationship is between you and the therapist. You should have a sense that it could be an effective, cooperative, compatible working relationship whilst conducting your personal search for the right fit.
I am a member of the BPC and the FPC and work to deep ethical standards accordingly.
Services and What to Expect
Hybrid Coaching/Therapy
Helping you move through a major business transition. Perhaps you are looking to make a significant move from corporate into self-employment or contemplating what your next move is professionally. This carries large amounts of stress and can see-saw your own self belief.
This is for professionals who are thinking of how to evolve their business without overstretching their mental and emotional resources. Use this hybrid model for growth and direction.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
For those who seek a psychological education along side personal growth with the aim to emerge into a more conscious way of relating within your personal relationships at home and work.
You are ready to embrace emotional triggers, together we can reset patterns that no longer serve you. Clients may be using social media to self-diagnose, find meaning and understanding. Leading to temporary relief whilst also amplifying anxiety symptoms.
Crisis Management
Life has taken a twist and your day to day is disrupted. Focus is murky and sleep is regularly disrupted. Anyone going through divorce, loss of job, temporary health setbacks or family challenges looking for an outlet of objectivity, compassion without judgement.
Open-ended, often short term but flexible. Whilst in crisis mode it is exceptionally difficult to work at a deeper long lasting therapeutic level, therefore, the pacing of these sessions find a careful and effective balance.
Introductory exploratory calls are free, video calls arranged via email at a mutually acceptable time.
All regular online sessions are charged at £100 and are 50 minutes, in arrears, and paid by bank transfer . Invoices are sent out by email on the 1st of the month.
If you are interested in psychotherapy we would need an initial assessment of 90 minutes and this is a one off fee of £150.
Contact me for an informal 15/20 minute call to get an initial feel for compatibility and if we could work together. Drop me and email and I will be in touch.
My current practice has availability in the daytime and a small handful of evenings.
