Are you experiencing feelings of sadness, isolation, loneliness, anxiety, or vulnerability? Do you struggle with unfulfilling relationships or find it challenging to love and be loved? Are you not fulfilling your potential?

'Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise'

             Victor Hugo

Life can present moments where intense thoughts and emotions become overwhelming.

The greatest part of our daily actions and emotional life is the result of hidden motives that escape our observation. Past experiences largely shape who we are and continue to affect our adult world.

I can help you connect with yourself on a deeper level and gain insights into your experiences, leading to a richer, freer, and more creative life.

About Me

IMG_1860.jpeg

I am a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, as well as a supervisor, with over ten years of clinical experience working with adults, including young adults, across various institutional settings, including the NHS. Fluent in both English and French, I provide therapy and supervision in both languages. My practice addresses a wide range of psychological challenges, from everyday stresses to complex emotional issues often stemming from family crises. I have a special in topics such as loss, mood disorders, family conflict, maternal neglect, privilege and abandonment, trauma, identity, and expatriate concerns. While my training is rooted in the British object-relations school, my approach is influenced by both classical and contemporary psychoanalytic theories, underpinned by a systemic perspective.

I am a member of the BPC, FPC, and APP within the NHS and hold accreditation with the BACP (MBACP Accred). Additionally, I possess an MA from the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust and a post-qualification certificate in supervision, meeting the BPC's eligibility requirements for training therapists.

The first session

After you initiate contact with me, we will arrange to meet up for initial consultations (usually two) so you can tell me about yourself. From there we will decide if we will work together, on a short or long term basis.

The therapeutic process

The weekly frequency of a fifty-minute session varies according to therapeutic needs, availability and of your involvement in the therapeutic process. The process can vary from a few weeks to open ended therapy.
Short-term therapy is for more immediate external difficulties and problem solving.
Long-term therapy is to understand deeply-seated and/or long-lasting issues with a desire for change.

The couch

The couch can help to speak freely without censorship about what is in your mind. Some people find it easier, others may prefer to sit.
