About Me.

I am a BACP registered Psychodynamic Psychotherapist based in Brighton, with a background in  NHS secondary mental health care and working with individuals in crisis. This means I have worked with a hugely diverse group of people grappling with depression, addiction, suicidal ideation, self harm, trauma, neurodiversity, gender dysphoria and more. 

I graduated with distinction from the University of Essex with a masters in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy. In my therapy work, my main focus is around grief and trauma but I support individuals from all walks of life struggling with various difficulties. 

Whilst psychodynamic theory - starting with Freud - is the basis of my work, I take inspiration from other clinicians and authors such as Bessel van de Kolk,  Irvin Yalom and Gabor Mate. I am interested in how emotions show up in the body and how they may be communicated somatically.

I also have a focus on working with rock climbers in one-to-one therapy, where we utilise the climbing experiences to make sense of your inner world and the relationship you have with yourself and others. This can include climbing sessions as part of the work.

Therapy is deeply personal - not every therapist is for everyone. Therefore it is important we take some time to determine if my approach is right for you. To learn more about starting therapy, take a look at my blog. If we decide to move forward together, I will be dedicated to working with you for as long as you need.

Send me a message - I look forward to hearing from you.
