Welcome. I wanted to create here a site written in plain English to offer you a sense of how I think and work.

I hold a doctorate in clinical psychology and am studying to be a contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapist. What this means is that I am trained to help adults with varied issues – issues about life, relationships, work, loss, insecurity, sadness, worry, trauma, and more.

The reasons for why people may start therapy are varied. Experiencing different kinds of feelings can be a reason to start therapy. For example you may be feeling angry towards your partner, frightened about how to cope as a new parent, a sense of loneliness and worthlessness after a failed relationship, or overwhelmed and unable to find your way out of a stressful situation. Perhaps you feel that you are not living as fully and vitally as you could be.

Whatever your situation, you have probably tried to work through it in various ways in the hope that things will change, yet it still plagues you, adding to your sense of futility or self blame. When thoughts and feelings cannot be understood and used productively as important signals, but instead lead to confusion, inaction, or inept action, then seeking therapy makes sense.

If, what you have just read resonates with you feel free to call me or send me an email about your specific concerns. We can then meet for an initial session to discuss what is on your mind and to see if the fit between us feels right.
