Welcome to my website. I am a UKCP registered psychoanalytic psychotherapist, based in the centre of Teddington.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is well suited to those who are curious about the origins of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Central to this process is the therapeutic relationship, which provides a space in which familiar, and often unhelpful, patterns can emerge and be explored. By understanding the origins of these patterns, often rooted in early childhood, they become open to change.

In analytic sessions, we’ll explore your relationships with family members and how they may have supported—or hindered—your ability to self-regulate and understand your emotions. Once we gain insight into why you respond in certain ways, we can begin to shift these patterns for lasting change.

Our early relationships with significant others are influenced by a variety of factors, including politics, economics, class, religion, sexuality and gender. In our exploration, we consider the impact of trauma which may manifest as a single, overwhelming event or as a series of smaller injuries stemming from not being seen, recognized, or validated.
