"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.
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 : University of Edinburgh - Developmental Psychology, Introduction to Psychology, Critical Thinking, Social Anthropology, Women in Philosophy.
I'm interested in neurodiversity in Women and Girls and have undertaken basic training with the National Autistic Society.
I'm a Registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
