Psychotherapy

​

People come to therapy for many different reasons. There may be a particular difficulty, a painful change or crisis, or a feeling that something in life is not quite right. You may find yourself caught in patterns in relationships, struggling with feelings you don't fully understand, or wondering why certain things continue to trouble you.

​

Sometimes it can be difficult to put into words what is wrong, or to know where to begin. Psychotherapy offers time to think about what is happening in your life and to understand yourself more deeply. Our past experiences can continue to shape how we feel, think and relate to others, often in ways we may not recognise. Through exploring these experiences and what emerges in the therapeutic relationship, we can begin to make sense of familiar patterns and find new ways of understanding ourselves and our relationships.

​

How I Work

​

​My approach is grounded in Jungian and psychoanalytic thinking. I am interested in what lies outside our conscious understanding of ourselves, and in the patterns that can emerge in our relationships, feelings and ways of being.

I do not offer advice or quick solutions. The work is about developing a fuller understanding of yourself and of what may be shaping your experience. This can sometimes feel challenging, but it can also bring greater freedom and new possibilities.

​

Session Information

​

I offer sessions once a week or more frequently, depending on the individual and the nature of the work. Sessions take place either in person in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, or online. Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place at an agreed regular time.

The regularity of the sessions is an important part of the work. Meeting consistently gives time for a relationship to develop and for what is happening within and between us to unfold and become understood.

I am a Jungian psychodynamic psychotherapist, a full member of the Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP) and the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP), and registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC).
