"Words belong to everyone, but each person has a way of using them that is unlike any other"
Michèle Montrelay.
I've provided Psychodynamic therapy to a wide and interesting variety of people, from many different backgrounds and cultures. I have an interest in how loss (in its many different forms: death, ending of relationships, loss of self) can take root internally as psychological states, such as melancholy, which can affect your capacity to have close relationships with others.
Before becoming a Psychodynamic Therapist in 2012 I worked in a large bank as a Learning and Development Consultant and Leader. If you're experiencing difficulties in your career or work, I can offer ways of thinking about Leadership, Group dynamics and Career Development from a Psychodynamic perspective.
I have a special interest in linguistics; how we communicate with others and with ourselves can fundamentally impact the nature of our personal and professional relationships; how we feel about ourselves and see the world is filtered through the language we use. I'm currently studying for a BA Honours in French and English Language.
