How I work

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy

I work in a psychoanalytic, relational way. That means I think change comes from talking together in a way that pays particular attention to repeating patterns in relationships, and the early experiences that may be shaping them unconsciously. 

The initial session

I usually suggest two or three initial sessions for us to explore working together. These allow me to give you my opinion as to whether I can help, and you a chance to see how I work and decide if you would like to enter into therapy with me. I see people once, twice or three times weekly.

Fees

My fee is £80 per session, as well as some concessionary spaces for those on low income. Please note, I do charge for all missed sessions, but will offer alternatives in the same week where possible, when advance notice is given.

​

Diversity, inclusion & ethics

I don't pathologise sexual or gender preferences, orientations and expressions. Nor do I work from normative or reductive views. Instead I work towards a thoughtful understanding of the person. I also pay attention to the real impact on people of systemic inequalities including race, socioeconomic background, disability, gender, age etc 

I am a registered Psychotherapist with the UKCP, and work in line with their Code of Ethics. I am also a Professional Member of The Association of Group and Individual Psychotherapy (AGIP).
