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 overwhelm. 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!
Some of the questions we tackle, “how did my marriage become so lonely”, “why do I keep making the same bad choices” and “why can’t I feel happy”. These are feelings so many of us decide we have to live with until one day you decide that you are so damn sick and tired of the same loop and story that you decide to change. You want to understand your hidden patterns that are controlling 80% of your behaviour. The best part is that once these are made conscious, that work can’t be undone and you start to feel as though you are the adventurous leader of your own life. 🏅
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’m not for everyone, I work with a range of tools that are more direct and proactive that stemmed from years of working with the wrong therapist in what ultimately was very passive listening and reflecting therapy. Nobody wants to keep stumbling over the same unconscious trip hazard, I’m a therapist that will sign post them when you are stuck.
I am a member of the (M)BACP 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, AI sources to 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.
Feel welcome to explore and ask questions first, please reach out and let’s organise a time to e-meet and see if this is the right fit for you. You might even find that you don’t fancy therapy with me but together we could help you hone in on exactly what could work and what other options are open to you. Collaborating minds are powerful!
Relationships are everything and finding the right therapist can be a needle in a haystack. Trying to work out which type of therapy what style can leave you paralysed without taking any action at all. My multi-disciplined approach leaves us with a flexible toolbox to work with it, helping you move through being ‘stuck’ faster.
Contact me for an informal 30 minute call to get an initial feel for compatibility and if we could work together. I look forward to hearing from you!
