Areas I work with
I work with adults experiencing a range of emotional and relational difficulties, with particular experience in trauma, grief and bereavement, miscarriage and infant loss, intercultural experience and men’s mental health.
You do not need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need before getting in touch. These pages describe some of the areas I work with and how a psychodynamic approach may help.
Trauma Therapy
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect how we feel, relate to other people and respond to situations long after the original event has passed. Psychodynamic trauma therapy offers space to understand these patterns rather than focusing only on controlling symptoms.
Grief and Bereavement Therapy
Grief can affect much more than our feelings about the person who has died. It can alter our sense of identity, relationships and expectations of the future, particularly when a loss has been sudden, complicated or difficult to speak about.
Intercultural Therapy
Culture, migration, language, race, family expectations and belonging can all shape how we experience ourselves and our relationships. Intercultural psychodynamic psychotherapy makes room for these influences, including the tensions that can arise when different parts of identity, family history and cultural experience do not fit easily together.
Miscarriage and Infant Loss
Miscarriage and infant loss can bring grief that is profound but often difficult for others to fully recognise. Therapy can offer a private space to think about the loss itself, the feelings surrounding it, and the ways it may affect relationships, identity, future hopes and the experience of subsequent pregnancies.
Men's Mental Health
Men can sometimes find it difficult to speak openly about distress, particularly when there has been pressure to cope, stay in control or avoid appearing vulnerable. Psychodynamic therapy offers space to explore depression, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, loss, identity and patterns that may have been carried for many years.
Anxiety, Depression and Relationship Difficulties
Some people come to therapy because of anxiety, low mood or difficulties in relationships, while others have a sense that the same feelings or situations keep repeating without fully understanding why. Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help explore the patterns, experiences and expectations that may be contributing to these difficulties.
You do not need to have a diagnosis or a clear explanation of what is wrong before getting in touch.
