About me

I am a very experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist who is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
In addition to running a private practice, I have dedicated the last fifteen years of my life to training students in counselling. I have developed several programmes that were validated by the University of Surrey, the University of Greenwich and Open University. All of these programmes were accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

The way I work has evolved over the years but remains mostly based on two principles: �The past can affect the present in ways that are often unconscious to us� and �The way we think affects our emotions and behaviours.� In other words, my main role is to help clients to feel more empowered and more in control by increasing their level of self-awareness. For instance, ways of relating can be identified and sometimes linked to previous experiences. Unhealthy and irrational cognitive patterns can be addressed by exploring new perspectives and by adopting new strategies. All of this takes time, energy and commitment from both parties involved.
