Attachment based psychotherapy -
The relationship at work
I am a 'Trauma Informed' psychodynamic therapist. I specialise in working with childhood relational trauma, relationships and and grief. I offer a 'root cause' approach to mental health, tracing behaviors back to looping early relational patterns and defences to better understand our present. Using Internal Family Systems and Inner Child Reparenting as a somatic road map to heal childhood parts that carry pain.
I am committed to meeting the needs of individuals by offering depth-oriented therapy through a safe, reassuring and non-judgemental approach.
- Complex developmental trauma
- Repetitive relationship issues
- Chronic self-criticism, perfectionism and stuckness
I offer skills in mindful awareness and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), which can help to support clients to make and sustain difficult changes and adjustments. Where appropriate I introduce Third Wave Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I also provide Relationship Counselling and Clinical Supervision for therapists working psychodynamically. For more information about psychodynamic therapy, click here .
I work in the public and private sector offering short and long-term therapy. I currently run a private practice and have delivered counselling in universities, higher education colleges, charities, work-based employee assist programmes and counselling platforms.
