Thinking, feeling, and doing can all become stuck.
Psychodynamic therapy in Stevenage, London Bridge, and online — for people navigating anxiety, depression, stress, work pressure, life transitions, and the patterns that keep repeating.
BACP-registered psychodynamic therapist. Oxford-trained. In-person and online sessions available.
A space to understand what is really going on.
Therapy is not only about removing symptoms. It can be a place to understand how you experience yourself, others, work, relationships, pressure, loss, and change.
My approach is psychodynamic. That means I pay attention to recurring patterns, to early experiences, to the relationships that have shaped you, and to what becomes possible when those patterns are understood rather than simply managed.
People arrive in therapy for many reasons.
A few of the situations and themes that tend to bring people to this kind of work.
A considered space to think about identity, work, relationships, and what is often left unspoken.
For people carrying a lot at work — pace, responsibility, visibility, and the cost of holding it all together.
When mood, sleep, motivation, or the felt sense of yourself has shifted, and you would like to understand why.
Endings, beginnings, bereavement, separation, parenthood, and the quieter losses that are harder to name.
Working with the patterns that early separation, institutional life, and early independence can leave behind.
Recurring conflicts, distance, ambivalence, and the way old family dynamics show up in adult life.
When other people feel risky to be around, and your own voice feels harder to access than it should.
For people who function well but privately feel pressured, disconnected, or unlike themselves.
A simple way to start.
A short call to hear what you are looking for and to answer your questions.
We meet for a full session to see how it feels to work together. There is no obligation to continue.
If it feels right, we start with an initial four-session block and then review together.
A wide lens on work, identity, pressure, and change.
