Whatever your reasons for being here ... you are very welcome.
I'm a down-to-earth Psychodynamic therapist with many years experience working with a wide and interesting variety of people from multiple backgrounds and cultures.
​
I've worked with people in helping capacities for over 30 years. Before starting my training in Psychodynamic therapy (in 2009) I worked in a large bank as a Learning and Development Consultant/Manager supporting colleagues with their career development and training needs.
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 see the world is filtered through the language we use.
