About me

I have been working as a psychotherapist for 16 years and have experience treating a diverse range of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, self-esteem, abuse (sexual, physical and emotional), trauma, grief, loss, work/career issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, sexual issues, gender and identity, bullying, self-harm, suicidal feelings, and isolation. This list is not exhaustive, and I am willing and can usually work with whatever is troubling you.

Attachment

I am particularly interested in attachment processes, the way we form emotional bonds with others. Attachment theory suggests that the types of relationships that our caregivers provide for us during our early years can set the stage for how we relate to others throughout our adult lives. Our attachment styles, formed in childhood, although often largely unconscious, can sometimes become an obstacle to experiencing fulfilling, sustainable relationships with others in the present.

Areas of interest

I treat individual adults weekly or fortnightly, in-person or on Zoom.

My primary approach is Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), a form of brief psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am also a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor.

Areas of interest include:

Attachment; depression; anxiety; relationship problems; self-esteem; abuse (sexual, physical and emotional); trauma; grief; loss; work/career issues; obsessive-compulsive disorder; borderline personality disorder; sexual issues; gender and identity; bullying; self-harm; suicidal thoughts; loneliness
