Whatever your reasons for being here ... you are very welcome.
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 or splitting, affecting our 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 Development from a Psychodynamic perspective (and from my own experience).
I have a special interest in linguistics; how we communicate with others and with ourselves can and does 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 Studies.
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychodynamic Therapy (University of Edinburgh) and a Certificate in Clinical Supervision (Northern Guild, Newcastle). A small selection of my recent CPD includes Intersubjectivity, Thirdness, and Mutual Recognition - Dr Jessica Benjamin: Tavistock, Developmental Psychology, Intro to Psychology, Critical Thinking, Social Anthropology, Women in Philosophy: University of Edinburgh. I'm interested in neurodiversity in Women and Girls and have undertaken training with the National Autistic Society.
I'm a Registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a Member of the Society for Existential Analysis.
