“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”- C.G. Jung
What is Psychotherapy?
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy begins with the notions that our unconscious mind (the parts of our mind we are typically unaware of) plays an important part in our day to day lives and that our early experiences and relationships shape who we are. It entails meeting for 50 minute sessions typically once or twice weekly. Psychotherapy offers a unique opportunity to explore the self and process your past experiences whilst helping to understand how these experiences are affecting you in the present.
A growing evidence base has demonstrated that psychotherapy can be effective in treating a range of conditions including depression whilst increasing quality of life and crucially, have proven benefits long after treatment has ended.

If you are finding repeated difficulties manifesting in your relationships or are struggling with depression, anxiety, instability, addictions or a lack of meaning and purpose then psychotherapy could be of real value. It is an opportunity to have conversations and experiences that we can’t have anywhere else.
If you think psychotherapy could be of help to you feel free to contact me by email or the contact form to arrange an initial consultation. During the consultation we can think about what has brought you to therapy before deciding if I am the right therapist for you.
I completed the professional Psychodynamic Psychotherapy training at the SAP (Society of Analytical Psychology) in London. Find out more about the SAP, a founder member of the British Psychoanalytic council, here: SAP website. I am registered with the BPC .
I have extensive experience seeing a broad range of psychotherapy patients in the NHS where I work with issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, abuse and personality disorders.
I have been informed by more contemporary, developmental and Jungian approaches to depth psychology as well as the tradition of Psychoanalytic theory. This has given me a keen psychological understanding, a respect for the individual and a rich, broad base of knowledge and experience from which to work and engage a range of clients.
I am seeing clients for 50 minute sessions once or twice weekly at a convenient consulting room next to Harrow on the Hill train station. I primarily work in person but also offer online sessions.
