Introduction
'The sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.' C.G. Jung
I'm a psychodynamic psychotherapist working on the Southbank in London with more than ten years’ experience in private practice as well as experience working for institutions.
I'm currently offering sessions online only.
Whatever is going on for you, psychotherapy is a space to talk in depth and to explore the relationship between your internal world and external pressures and opportunities.
If you're looking for a psychotherapist in London Bridge or Blackfriars, please email me to see how we might work together.
Background
Having studied literature at university, I found my way into a film company which made abstract, dream-like films. I became interested in the work on dreams by Freud and Jung and followed my curiosity into a training course at WPF Therapy. I graduated in 2014 with a postgraduate diploma in psychodynamic psychotherapy and have been practising professionally ever since.
In the community, I’ve worked for a domestic violence helpline, an LGBTQ counselling organisation, a refuge for suicidal people and a school counselling service. I’m a co-founder of Southbank Counselling in Vauxhall, London, where I worked for ten years. In 2022-23 I worked with adults and adolescents at the Priory Chelmsford specialising in depression, anxiety and eating disorders. I currently work freelance in person and online.
I’m a member of the BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council) and adhere to their code of ethics. This means the work I do is confidential and I am committed to ongoing professional development.
